I just talked to a guy who insists that they only ever sold 4 of those super cool Whoa Nellie.
I though it was a fun game with a great theme, great artwork.
Anyone know the Backstory?

I played it at the Colorado pinball showdown. Fun game. but 14.5 k for a re-theme? Maybe if money was no object.

Yes, Dennis and Greg only made and sold four. I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Dennis' garage, along with a few other pinheads helping put togther the first one. I wasn't sure there was going to be much for me to do, but I ended up populating most of the first playfield and helping install things in the cabinet. It was a weekend I won't soon forget.
I've seen a pic out there somewhere showing Dennis, Greg and the four buyers. Damned if I remember where, though.

At about 1:58 (that'd be one HOUR and 58 mins, btw) in this video (http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/26688895) from November 3rd of 2012, you can hear Ben Heck and the fine Mr. Nordman discussing a possible run of Whoa Nellie under consideration by Stern for "5 to 7 thousand". It's a bit hard to hear with the router running, but they go on about it for quite a while.
Quoted from Mr68:Dennis told me that he and Greg were working on a cost analysis to present to Stern for possible manufacture. However that was close to a year ago and no word since.

Yup. They also discussed it with Jersey Jack.

Denis told me the same at the pinball expo in Chicago last fall. He even had people leave their contact info if they were intrested in one.
