This will go nicely with my Legends Ultimate to complete what I want from a home arcade experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 Knock yourself out. For that price I've been able to get a playable EM that I'm not embarrassed to invite my friends over for beer and pinball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+wongojack Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 I'm interested. I'll be watching for post-Christmas sales. I like virtual pinball, but the existing options are much more expensive and this will undoubtedly go down in price from where it is now.

Yes, most likely the Android version. I like the look of the backglass, although obviously it would be better if it were a second screen. Several companies will be introducing these types of these in 2020, so it will be interesting to see how these guys did being first out of the game. Just like I have to sell my Arcade1Up 12-in-1, I have no issue with selling this off should something better come along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would be interested in seeing a small-ish bartop unit (i.e., no legs, it just rests directly on a table or countertop of your choosing), with the table monitor being maybe 24"-32" max. I have no idea if that would have any mass appeal, though... could just be my own peculiar idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely interested in the latter as long as the weight is not too great. (Of course, like what happened with my purchase of an A1U 12-in-1, I'm fully onboard with the 3/4 scale until something better comes along to replace it.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoyous Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Interesting... so they're looking at including a DMD in future models. To me, this compares pretty favorably to a full size kit that starts at ~$800 and you still have to supply 1-2 monitors, speakers, and a computer.

Bill Loguidice Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 Here are my initial impressions with photos and video: https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2019/12/09/hands-on-impressions-for-toy-shock-taiyo-12-in-1-three-quarter-scale-home-pinball-machine-with-haunted-house-black-hole-and-more/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Loguidice Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I already did a first impressions write-up with photos and videos, here (https://armchairarcade.com/perspectives/2019/12/10/video-what-you-want-to-know-about-the-toy-shock-taiyo-12-in-1-three-quarter-scale-home-pinball-machine-with-haunted-house-black-hole-and-more/), but I know some people prefer straight-up review videos, so I shot a quick one on the three quarter scale Toy Shock Taiyo 21C 12-in-1 Home Pinball Machine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hm, given the tables included, I had a feeling it was going to be using FarSight's stuff. I like the idea of it, not having some kind of gyro setup that allows you to actually shake the machine to nudge is a major missed opportunity.

+GoldenWheels Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 They need to just go ahead and bite the bullet...make a mini combo arcade/pinball machine like the ones on Alibaba (They're great, though 10x the cost of this thing once you import one). Seems like a natural to me, that they could make an Arcade 1up/Taiyo frankenstein on the cheap-ish: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
