Since Mustang is the next title, about when will that start shipping and when will production begin on their title after Mustang?
How often do they switch to the next title (at least lets say in their last 5-8 years)
(Topic ID: 74493)
The article I read said the game will be released in April to coincide with the 50th anniversary date.
Ordering info in January.
Quoted from Jasontaps:Would the next title after Mustang come out in 2014?
You don't need inside info to say "yes" to that.
Quoted from Aurich:You don't need inside info to say "yes" to that.
One during the summer hopefully, and then maybe even another at the end of the year also. The announcement for Mustang came not long after ST. I thought the timing was fairly quick myself.
They have been doing 3-4 titles a year recently!
I;d say they are doing 3 next year: Mustang, a music pin, and then ... Superman!

Since so many people say Stern doesn't complete their code, doesn't this sum it all up!

Please explain.
Sum up what?
Quoted from Jasontaps:If your cranking out 3-4 titles a year, are you really going to have you engineering team go back on a title 3 games ago or are you going to look forward.
Oh. OK.
I think they'll do whatever they think will maximize profits. And that's in sales of new and varied machines.

And as evidenced by all the people on this forum, Stern just don't find it in their interest or profit to go back and complete their code.
I actually didn't start this thread to bash Stern. The root of my question stems from wondering about how long it will take me to save up enough to buy another new in box and how many titles will have passed by. The Mustang pin (title alone) doesn't do anything for me (and I drive a Ford too).
Does Stern release their number of machines built? And with them cranking out product so often, are there distributors out there sitting on NIB machine from like 2011 or 2012 that would sell them discounted?
I'm thinking their second pin (or possibly third pin) for 2014 is Whoa Nellie. In a recently published interview Nordman felt pretty positive it would happen. Though it might be extremely limited in number. It would be probably the price of a Pro, but very much EM type play.I'd be in for one in a heart beat.
Quoted from Jasontaps:If it is, it will sink like one.
Do you really think the market can support a Led Zepplin pin?
If done right ( art package & gameplay ) I'd buy one.

But now I laugh and pull so hard, see you swinging from the Gallows Pole

Quoted from DaveB:They have been averaging 5 pins every 2 years but I heard they're planning on 6 in 18 months. I don't see how that is really possible or wise so maybe its bad info.
You would think the market can only support so many machines so often, especially at 5-10k a pop!
Yes, there are those people out there with the spare change that will buy every new pin, but for the rest of us that rolled pennies to buy our NIB, well all we can do is dream or try to sell that no longer NIB unit.
