Hadn’t seen a post about the other, other new game yet. Heighway pinball posted a video trailer and a bunch of pictures. Looks pretty cool.

This looks really cool. That alien ball lock is so cool.

I’ve got an order in with Trent for a GB premium that hasn’t shipped yet and I’m super tempted to switch to this. It looks awesome.
Will distributors actually carry this game in stock? It seems like my distributor only has NIB titles from Stern in stock.
Cointaker is the NA distributor.
I think they might be the US distributor. I think Nitro is the Canadian distributor. I might be wrong and they might just be reselling from Cointaker, but either way they are selling it.
what was the price point of this? Did I hear $6500?
What does this mean?

Yes. You can purchase via their website right now for 6500 for the standard edition.
But unsubstantiated rumors make you uncomfortable?
Got it.

Felt great to me! 
That’s good to hear! I watched a short clip of gameplay, and the one hangup I had was just that: a hangup. It looked like the Left ramp had the ball hang up significantly at the turnaround section of the ramp rather than flowing smoothly to the ramp’s return section back to the inlane. Did you notice this when playing it?

Yes. Dave Sanders (the playfield designer) said yesterday that he knows about this and a fix is already in the works.
