Spooky Pinball Goonies Q&A Session; 3 Musketeers Pinball to Tour the U.S.; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pinball Shipping Soon & More

Friday! Friday! Friday! Happy Friday everyone. Let's kick today's news off with information about Spooky Pinball's Upcoming pinball machine The Goonies. According to a recent post by Spooky Luke, Spooky is going to conduct a random drawing to give all of its remaining Super Limited Edition (SLE) pinball machines that were not allocated to distributors to some of its 1,299 Collector's Edition buyers. I think that this statement is the first time that we have had official confirmation of the rumored 1,300 production run of Goonies. This drawing will be held sometime after the game is revealed and orders are taken, once everyone has their game number. Tonight, Friday November 6th, at 7:00 PM Central Time, Bug and Luke from Spooky are scheduled to conduct a live Q&A session about the Goonies game on Cary Hardy's YouTube channel. I will make sure to watch and report back with any interesting information for people who are unable to watch. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ3ah82h0PMiGIRf_rt0cNA
The French pinball manufacturer, HEXA Pinball, recently announced that it is sending its newest pinball machine, 3 Musketeers, on a tour of the United States over the next year. 3 Musketeers will make appearances at public arcades across the country and will also be made available for content creators to stream on their channels. The first public appearance of the game will be at the fabulous Electric Bat Arcade in Tempe, Arizona in December. From there, the game will make stops in Canada, Texas, Florida, California, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado, Missouri and Indiana. HEXA is still seeking arcades to host the game at a couple of these stops, so if you have an arcade and want to check out the list below. If you see the game at one of these spots and are interested in ordering one, Joe Newhart at the distributor PinballSTAR Amusements has units available. Reach out to him at sales@pinballstar.com .
After a brief period of silence that some found concerning, Wonderland Amusements announced yesterday that its new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles home pinball machine will start shipping to pre-order customers next week, specifically on November 11th. TNMT can still be ordered, with the Standard Edition starting at $1,199. https://wonderlandamusements.com/products/tmntbattleinthesewer?variant=53744500539760 To everyone waiting on a TMNT preorder, We know this is later than we originally promised. We also know we’ve been too quiet along the way. We’re sorry for the delay, and we’re sorry we haven’t kept you better informed. Shipping and logistics issues outside our control have pushed back our timeline. Our team has been working hard to get your orders moving, but that doesn’t excuse the lack of communication. You deserved an update sooner. Your TMNT pinball preorder is now scheduled to ship on November 11, 2026. We’ll email your tracking details when your order ships. Transit time will depend on your destination and carrier. If the schedule changes, we’ll let you know. Thank you for sticking with us. We know you’re excited to get your machine, and we appreciate the patience and trust you’ve shown us. The Wonderland Amusements team
