I thought it would be cool to have a thread to share restaurants/FEC's that have retrofitted RAE's or MMBB's. This place is called Banjo Billy's and had a retrofitted PTT show! There's lots of footage of it at the 7 minute mark in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWNeES8nGuI And this place is called Marc's Funtime Pizzeria. There's a teeny clip of their show in this commercial (if you can survive the awful voice acting haha). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsfPFoHanHg Edited by Cavity Sam, Nov 11 2014, 07:06 AM.

Yeah, that's true. It's a shame, really, but it can't be helped. It's the ambition of the ill-informed, I suppose. Although to be fair, its more within my range to just buy a frightprops skull, pop it's face off, and retrofit that for a talking head than buy a bot with incomplete cosmetics anyway, and these people would have had a way cooler time doing that also they'd have WAY MORE SKULLS if they had gone with the skulls One can never have too many talking skulls, you know. Or things that used to be talking skulls but are now talking heads. |

Are a lot of these places running retrofits buying their showtapes from the same source? I've seen three different ones singing Rocky Top. |

Not sure if this was mentioned already, but anyone remember that "Rocky and the Ramblin' Rascals" 2-stage CEC retrofit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tygSNc82Utw I'm not sure of the store's current state, but I've been wanting to visit this place for a while. |

My problems with retrofits in general are: 1. Ugly cosmetics and sloppy costuming 2. Sloppy programing. 3. No repair work or maintenance done on the mechs so they barely move. You'll almost always find at least one of those three problems with a show that's been retrofitted. |

They can sell the robots but are supposed to destroy the cosmetics so they're no longer recognizable as CEC characters. These probably escaped initial destruction the same way the PTT bots did: a franchised location went out of business and the owners sold the show without destroying the cosmetics first. |

Possibly. The Company seems to have CEC Programming, but is specialy cured so Wonderland can say 'Welcome to wonderland!" and Enchanted forest can say 'Go to Klyptoe's Cove!" and such. But Bothe seem to call themselves 'Rocky & the rambling rascals'

I'm not sure what you mean, but nearly all Showbiz Pizza Place was converted into Chuck e Cheese. The three stage band went through concept unification. (You can see it on youtube.) So they kind of was retrofitted. If you mean any other characters than those...I'm not sure. |

Good question, but no. All Showbizes (even franchises) were owned by Showbiz Pizza Time (AKA: CEC) so they were all converted to the CEC concept. The retrofitted cosmetics is just one part of it- I also like the audio they come up with for these shows. The Marc's Funtime Pizza one is actually pretty entertaining and funny.
