Quoted from Ballderdash:FWIW Stern’s background image on Twitter is focused on the time machine mech of Rush. Foreshadowing?

Or maybe they're focused on 1978. What was the top song in 1978? Shadow Dancing by Andy Gibb. I feel like a Gibb family pin is headed our way.

Jaws II also came out in 1978

So its Elwin on Jaws II and Danger on the Gibb Extravaganza.

If you really want one, you should find a distributor that lets you put a deposit on one before it's announced. I've had mine down for almost a year now to secure BTTF LE when/if it's ever announced. Makes it completely stress free!
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Just hope they make enough LEs so that I dont have a heart attack trying to obtain one.

Do you know where you are on the list? Or how many LE games they are going to get? (The distributors don't even know the answer to that one.) Being on the list doesn't guarantee anything.

The future is bright...with a BTTF poster in the background...we gotta be getting close! I really think it will be one of the next 2 releases.

I want to say no....I want to believe...but ever since they paid mayor goldie wilson to be on the TWIPYs 2 years ago...I think they may be just playing us...

All that would do is work against them. I have a bunch of cash in the bank that is waiting on a BTTF release. That's money I'm not using to buy another title with.
I think we've turned the tide. The usual suspects have stopped saying it wont happen anymore -- which I thoroughly enjoy. I doubt its the next stern game.. but I do believe its on the horizon. If its Kapow + Elwin I think people's bank accounts are going to get the Infinity Gauntlet snap.

I think it's great they have a pulse on the demand for BTTF... can't help but feel they are trolling us a little.

Yep. I've noticed the same thing. If Bond is truly the next cornerstone then BTTF has to be the next Kapow joint. Or maybe it will be a cornerstone...I don't really care I just need my BTTF!

Somebody that posts on the forum a lot (and may or may not know what they are talking about - if it's Sean Connery Bond next week then maybe they do know something) said last year: "BTTF is Kaminkow and will cost $12k, no pro or premium models...only LE w/ topper sold separately"

Craig Bobbie way back when said BTTF was Kapow and coming Aug 2022. This was before canceling the release of 1 pin this year.

Hope that's not the case, I refuse to drop that much on a toy, unless I can drive it. I would buy a pro at current pricing if BTTF is announced, and I swore I'd never buy a NIB pin.

Toy Story pricing all over again
Quoted from kapaun:Toy Story pricing all over again
Yeah…basically they could almost put any price they want and it would sell out….
They could do BM66 all over…video submissions for a chance to pay a shit ton of money for 1 of 25 or 50 super LE’s….then a little less for a LE (premium), and just a little less for Premium (pro). It’s a game I would love to have but could NEVER justify spending that much money on. HARD PASS.

but just think of the submissions

Just wait for the SLE 88mph edition that is limited to 88 games at $20k. Get your video applications ready lol.
Seriously though I really hope BTTF pinball is coming and that it covers all 3 movies. There's so much potential for this theme.

Quoted from camcamaro1991:Lego updated their price on the 10300 $199.99 Aug 1 2022.
I am not a scalper, I paid well over a thousand and some change for them. You say that like I bought them for like $10 each or something. The boxes are not perfect for there is a little wear on them the are not collector boxes the OG price listed them for $269.95 (they knew damn well they were above MSRP), they were slightly discounted $195 after tax which is still above Legos MSRP $169.99 + tax which only should have been 184.xx, again I paid $195 but the new price is now is $199.99.
The store these came from is not available to most folks & requires a membership and is local only. I picked them up to help others like myself. I am asking $200 picked up or $210 shipped cash or zelle, which is about as low as I can go, and still beat almost all ebay listings and facebook listings.
I have never seen a Lego 10300 go for $169.99+tax shipped.
Find a better deal, then you should buy it.

So you paid a scalper. Cut them the fuck out and everyone eventually buy what they want at the normal price from normal stores. Fuck the scalpers that ruin all the fun, especially for kids toys.
Quoted from kapaun:Any thought's on TNT Amusement's speculation that it will be a $25,000 game?
I'm just happy that Todd Tuckey said it's coming! SLE can be $25,000. Only gonna make 88 of those anyway. My guess is $9,999 premium and LE somewhere in between.

will it come with a piece of fabric from the seats of a delorian and a card autographed by John DeLorian himself? I sure hope the fabric smells like cigarettes and Drakkar Noir!

Where did Todd say that BTTF pinball is coming? Trying to find it.

Wonder if a Kapow BTTF is possible between now and the next cornerstone in January...
Quoted from crujones4life:Wonder if a Kapow BTTF is possible between now and the next cornerstone in January...
Bond and BTTF are my two dream themes. It's going to be a very expensive year for me if BTTF is after Bond.
Quoted from crujones4life:Wonder if a Kapow BTTF is possible between now and the next cornerstone in January...
It’s possible but idk if it’s the right move.. Announcing BTTF in a couple months might cannibalize sales for bond.. no? At least I feel like my wallet is safe for now… ? Haha

But worth it for 2 dream themes!

I saw that same dude inside the Stern factory!!! He kept screaming ….
“Ahhhh! Great Scott!! This isn't supposed to come out until 2025! When this assembly line hits 88 games per hour, your gonna see some serious shit!”

Well Bond is a cornerstone (apparently) so what could the next Kapow be?

Talk to me about the pros/cons/differences of Kapow doing it, please. I’m too new to know much of the industry details. Thx.

Biggest con is going to be the cost. Entry level is the premium usually sold at a even higher cost than a cornerstone premium. No pro model.
Biggest pro is every trim level has the same gameplay and we get the most out of the license (presumably).
