We have reached a licensing agreement with Gottlieb and within 4-5 weeks we will have Reactor side art, cpo and speaker grill overlay availabe for sale.

Qbert swearing marquees will be back as well.

We are required to pay a licensing fee and royalty of 20% upfront, which was agreeable to us so we could offer these products again. This is pretty much their standard agreement they have in Gottlieb pinball products.

Stay tuned for pricing and availability.
 
oooohhhhh. I like it when license owners actually cooperate with people who are TRYING TO GIVE THEM FREE MONEY!!! (I'm looking at you Namco, Williams, etc...)
 
Yes! Thats sounds awesome, Woot!

I know the artwork for the Mad Planets bezel has already been painstakingly recreated by Jeff R, there just wasn't enough interest to produce them.
 
I'm in. If I could find a Mad Planets locally, that would be the shit.

I'm in as well. My Mad Planets bezel art is torn along the top and is pretty faded and a little wrinkled.

Unless there is something non-standard about my Mad Planets cab the bezel art is not silkscreened onto the glass or plexi. It's just paper art that sits between the plexi and the separate glass bezel. I'd be happy if someone could just provide a repro file so I could go get one printed myself locally. I swapped PMs with someone here a few times about that but his emails never arrived. I assume the attachment was just too big. :(
 
That's pretty funny. I spoke with Bob Fesjian about 10(?) years ago, and he specifically stated that his company, Gottlieb LLC did not own *any* of the rights to the video side - only pinball.

He wasn't really sure *who* owns the Gottlieb video rights, other than a bank assumption that it was Sony, and likely even Sony isn't sure what it owns, aside from Q*Bert.

I hope your licensing agreement was cheap!! :)

Well, now THAT was a helpful post. It seems there would be better ways to participate than name dropping and laughing at someone else's effort to keep the hobby alive.

I think Tom is trying really hard to be the new Mark Spaeth.
