JJ at Gex or Gio at Pinball Refinery are my two go to guys. I kind of go back and forth between them with my ordering. Both are great.

Just to discuss this briefly, as it came up yesterday in a F/S thread that closed shortly after the statement was made so we could not address it:

Pinside has no policy on posting prices here. It is entirely a matter between Stern and their distributors about prices being posted. While we reserve the right to edit out a price from a post we certainly do not have a rule in place that mandates we do so.

Yes, that is 100% correct.

Yes, the dreaded over stated inventory issue on behalf of a retailer. I've seen it ruin two entity sales in the past dozen or so years...as it is a problem that cannot be remedied once it develops and makes your business impossible to sell.

Wow! Since when did the shipping company become obligated to do that (as I am certain that was not voluntary)?

So, is the Stern minimum sales price (plus no bonus items or return customer discount) just on new game releases or would it apply to older titles that are still being made like Metallica? Thanks.

This bums me out pretty bad. I'm in the market for one now but don't feel like taking the extra hit. Is what it is I suppose, either I want one or I don't.

This move seems to help the small volume distributors the most, but all distros should come out pretty good from this. They don't have to have a race to the bottom on price squeezing their margins down.
