Chicago Gaming Company to Build More Medieval Madness Pinball Toppers; Wonderland Amusements Raises Prices; Predator Now on Location & More
By knapparcade
Yesterday afternoon, Chicago Gaming Company - manufacturer of the remake of the classic 1997 Williams pinball machine Medieval Madness, announced that it is going to do another production run of its sought-after "King of Payne" topper for the machine. The new run for the topper will happen during the third quarter of 2026. The topper is priced at $999. CGC is also going to sell more RGB LED kits for the game for $499.
This afternoon, Wonderland Amusements - the company that recently successfully Kickstarted funding for the Alice Goes to Wonderland home pinball machine, announced that it is raising its price for the game. Originally priced at $799 plus $50 shipping for Early Backers and more recently $999, Wonderland is increasing the game's MSRP to $1,199 as a result of increased expenses from tariffs. This Black Friday week only, the Company is honoring the game's original $999 price for customers who place an order using the code "AGTWBF2025". In a recent promotional e-mail they also mentioned that they have Mad Hatter Bobblehead upgrades for the game for sale at $49.99. Below is a walkthrough of the completed units at the Company's Chinese factory waiting to ship to the port in Los Angeles.
The Flipper Room arcade in Concorde (a href="https://theflipperroom.com/">Website), California recently unboxed the Pinball Brother's new game Predator. It is now on the floor for the public to play, which is amazing because I am only aware of three other locations in the entire United States that have it. Pinball YouTuber DRI374 recently hopped over to the Flipper Room and streamed gameplay of the machine for everyone. I have embedded the video below:
I have additional information about the new ShowBiz Pizza Place Rock-afire Explosion claw machine that I wrote about here yesterday. Orbit Games, an affiliate of American Pinball, is producing the machine, which is scheduled to ship "early in 2026." It is priced at $2,999. Orbit games will offer seven different plush characters from the band as prizes. Interestingly, at the very bottom of the page for this product's website it looks as though Orbit may actually produce and sell the actual Rock-afire band! Now that is cool. Though with packages "starting at $200,000" it's a little out of my price range. SHOWBIZ PRIZE PLACE-CLAW
