By knapparcade
Last Wednesday (9/2), the Texas-based pinball manufacturer Barrels of Fun announced that it had wrapped up production of its Dune pinball machine. This afternoon the company announced that it has begun production of its recently announced Bon Jovi pinball machine, saying the following on its Facebook page: "Bon Jovi production is underway. We know a lot of you have been asking when you’ll start seeing games. The answer is: We’re building them now. Bon Jovi is moving through production here in Houston, with assemblies being built, games coming together on the floor, and the team working through the production ramp. As always, our priority is getting the game right before it leaves the building. You’ll start seeing a lot more Bon Jovi coming out of the factory from here. Only 700 worldwide. $12,000 MSRP. https://shop.kollectfun.com/product/bjmachine/ Build your setlist. Play it loud." Hopefully we begin to see more Bon Jovis on location soon. I still haven't had a chance to play it. Everyone says that it shoots great, so I'm looking forward to "Laying My Hands On" one lol. People who have seen the news about production of Barrels' newest game has started have been asking where they are at with Winchester Mystery House production. According to the company's CEO David Van Es, Winchester #402 (out of 525 total) is on the production line right now. In addition to the statement, Barrels shared several pictures of its factory with Bon Jovi machines in various stages of being built.
I think that the last picture of the bunch is of Winchesters being made.
In other Bon Jovi pinball news, late last week Barrels also shared pictures of the Bon Jovi pin in the Red, White & Jersey Lounge at the band's concert at Wembley Stadium in London, England. The machine was brought to the show by RS-Pinball GmbH and Retro Arcade Specialists UK.
