Quoted from mnpinball:

I'm proud to say this is my father and our family business of 40 years he built with his hard work and integrity from the ground up. Watch and tell me your opinions on our business and how we run it.

Wow, just wow, with those pictures I am so happy I was able to return my MET for being a POS, and I am not surprised at all Stern has not improved. I am surprised that people keep buying NIB Stern pinball machines though.

Small key issue and Jersey Jack calls the customer himself, just like Charlie would at spooky. The "great Pinball savior" Gary Stern doesn't have the time, and if he did he just deflects and lies along with his minions Powers and Gomez.

Quoted from taz:

Very good analysis! I’m a BM66 owner and believe that most BM66 big spenders will restrain themselves on GotG. Just a guess, but that would probably be less than a 10% hit on LEs. However, it might be a 50+% hit if Stern does SLEs again in the future, like say Elvira.

The only reason I want them to do another SLE is because I think it will fail big time and embarrass Stern.

Quoted from jgentry:

You are not serious are you? Pinsiders talk the biggest game online, in person they are timid and barely do anything other then shake Gomez's hand, tell Steve he's their favorite, ask Borg how he keeps making such great games, or ask Gary what his favorite craft beer is right now. I've been to a bunch of shows and I've never seen anyone go after anyone from stern other then Jody and he for the most part brought that on himself. Even then it was mostly people slinking back to their room to talk about it online with absolutely no personal interaction.

Not what I have seen at CES. I've never been to a pinball show so maybe that's how things go there, but not CES.

Quoted from TigerLaw:

Let's not forget it isn't just the new releases that count. Stern is still running Metallica, GoT, TWD and ACDC. Heck, didn't they do a run of ST early this year too?
I have no idea of the numbers, but it's a safe bet Stern has sold far more machines than its competitors combined this year.

Without a doubt Stern sells machines that fill the void at the lowest price range, they just need to remember that and stay there.

Stern’s Iron Maiden looks cool, I’ll enjoy playing it on route, just like GOTG. $5 is about all I’ll risk on a Stern anymore as they have burnt their bridge in multiple ways. The latest price increases don’t help lol

Quoted from MrBally:

What a difference a year and a half makes. At the 2021 Amusement Expo International (call it the AMOA show), only Stern was present with pinball machines on display. No JJP, No American Pinball (Although Dave Fix was present "walking the show floor"), no Deep-Root etc.

Is Stern the only one that presents at CES?
