      I always enjoyed playing the very well done VPX table but I had no idea how lucky we are to have it. Per IPDB only 9 made it into production!

                randr is right as usual. Wow. I had no idea Kingpin had that few. 9. Big Bang Bar only had 14?

                  I think 14 is correct. There is another super rare one can’t think of it….

                        Why did Capcom do these low production tables?

                          I would guess financial issues. Didn’t they fold that same year?

                            Yeah, I looked it up on IPDB… they closed their pinball operations while they were still prototypes.  Capcom still makes video games to this day.

                              Weren’t there only two Pinball Circus machines made, with one being at the pinball museum in Las Vegas and the other with a  private owner?

                                Data East’s King Kong got canceled/shelved due to licencing issues, apparently they could not get permission for using

                                Kong’s image and name for this pin. All 9 where also different, some had incomplete plastic’s, different flipper size and

                                some very incomplete rom’s. We’re lucky there’s a vpx version of this pin !
