The summer months are traditionally a quiet time for news in the pinball industry. Not so this year, so join Martin Ayub from Pinball News and Jonathan Joosten from Pinball Magazine as they bring you all the excitement from the pinball world in the latest edition of their Pinball Industry News PINcast. July 2024 PINcast July’s news is dominated by the collapse of Haggis Pinball and the disappearance of the company’s head Damian Hartin along with any remaining stock and machines. With no assets left and millions of Australian dollars in debts, anyone who paid Haggis directly for a Fathom or Centaur remake is left at the back of a long line of creditors. Happier news from Stern Pinball, as they both announce a new black-and-white anniversary edition of their Godzilla title and also celebrate the well-deserved retirement of Art Director, Greg Freres. Meanwhile a famous face pays a visit to the Stern Pinball stand at the San Diego ComiCon to play the game in which he stars. Who could that be? That’s not the only time that happens this month though, as down in Austin a certain “Weird Al” pops up at the Multimorphic stand to visit his Museum of Natural Hilarity game. There’s news of two pinball machine giveaways – one from Stern and one from American Pinball. Get all the details and find out how you can be in with a chance of winning either or both. Pedretti Pinball are shipping both models of their Funhouse remake, while Pinball Brothers are shipping both versions of their ABBA game – all from the same factory – while in Topperland Pinball Brothers have shipped all their pre-order Alien toppers and Spooky Pinball has done the same with their Scooby-Doo toppers. Both now have extra stock for immediate delivery if you’d still like one. Pinball Adventures are taking a step back as they look to bring the fun back to pinball making and make it less of a chore. Find out what that means for production of their upcoming Elements and Sushi Mania titles. It’s also peak show season, so there’s news of who has been exhibiting what and where, what’s coming up, plus details of all the latest code updates.
