Stern, 2013This topic is closed.
After much decision, I've decided to boycott Stern and pulled my order for MMOP. My distributor along with others over our great United States have had there allotments reduced. Gary says there is more money to be made overseas. Go get it Gary. My cash will go towards Bally/Williams titles here in the good ol' USA.

thanks for Serving Sir.
Also I being a Steve Ritchie fan. Metallica and Star Trek it's hard but I can resist . It's a lot of money that someone else can spend then . That Old grey Jolly old mans Company Just Jumped the Shark and pissed on me and others with this ,I agree.
I am Happy Pinballs are still being made today but if this is the respect and treatment STERN gives to potential customers then the hell with them . I Guess leave it to the vendors and put them on locations and send over seas To the vendors there where there I s that type of market . here in the US it is the Collectors who make up the market . we try to buy from Vendors that they have listed /Talk personally with them , them with stern . Create an Invoice , then back out , Glad I picked a US vendor off their list and paid in full on April 12th just to be told Today . No Product
Yes I can Boycott and will ,jealous yes ,but my anger rules out the being Jealous
You need a break from pinball.. If you really gave your spot up for free, you need a serious break .

Who shot who in the what, now?
Quoted from raddroxx:What they did to the distributors is bad business practice. Like I said, cannot and will not support what Stern did.
......so, I'm not quite clear. Are you supporting Stern any longer?
Quoted from PinFever:Gary Stern Wonders Why pinball is dying in the states and then send em overseas..=Priceless
Seriously, is this Dr. Suess? Is this performance art?
Quoted from raddroxx:Cannot and will not support Stern Pinball anymore.
Well you don't own any Stern's now, and none are on your wish list, so how much were you really supporting them before?
Good luck with your boycott!
Quoted from raddroxx:Just sold TSPP and HD. Stern free
Did you buy either of those NIB?

You sold TSPP a month ago, at least. It had nothing to do with this issue. I remember when you sold it on the DFW listserv.
Quoted from gambit3113:You sold TSPP a month ago, at least. It had nothing to do with this issue. I remember when you sold it on the DFW listserv.
Owned!

You may want to get you facts straight before you put you foot in you mouth Gambit. I listed TSPP for sale a month ago. It only sold 12 days ago. That money was going towards MOPP. Not now.
Quoted from underlord:Owned!
Not.
Quoted from gambit3113:Vulgar display of power.
Wrong band, how about Fight Fire With Fire! 
You do realize that products that are made in the USA and then exported are extremely good for this country, right?
Quoted from raddroxx:My cash will go towards Bally/Williams titles here in the good ol' USA.
Quoted from McCune:Can you list the distributor that ripped up the check ? I would really like to validate the story .
What distributor would not let anyone out to sell at a higher price?
Sorry, but the only thing I think of when reading this thread is the term "cutting off your nose to spite your face".
Quoted from jalpert:You do realize that products that are made in the USA and then exported are extremely good for this country, right?
But not as good as supporting an American Company that stopped making pins...by buying the old ones. 
Quoted from Rush1169:What distributor would not let anyone out to sell at a higher price?
LOL. Not one. It isn't the distributor's story that he is doubting!
You guys sure know how to beat stuff into the ground around here. Sooooooo sick of this title and it isn't even out yet!
Quoted from Rush1169:What distributor would not let anyone out to sell at a higher price?
None! What guy would give his confirmed mop back with out trying to sell his spot ?
Quoted from McCune:None! What guy would give his confirmed mop back with out trying to sell his spot ?
One that is not a prick and thinks he should always profit off his good fortune rather than just leaving it for the next guy in line.
It is perfectly clear what you would have done I guess.
Word up on that tip. I'm already getting to not like the pin and its the only one I've been excited to see come out.
Quoted from Whysnow:It is perfectly clear what you would have done I guess.
Is it ? Who are you, some sort of super hero ?
Quoted from McCune:None! What guy would give his confirmed mop back with out trying to sell his spot ?
None! What person would boycott a company the produced a product that increased their net worth upon purchase?
Sorry, but this is so dumb. Spend your money however you like, but this is just a tantrum now. It's like we're watching the 12 stages of grief over something that no one has even seen.
Pretty clear what I am talking about. There are some folks that are not interested in profiting off their spot by trying to sell it to someone else.
Based on Jim's comments he is insinuating that he would do that (sell his spot).

I am not in his situation and believe he is full of shit ! That is my point ! Get over yourself WHYSNOW !
