Quoted from Rdoyle1978:Seconded. Even using some of the LeMax spooky town stuff (although those are hella expensive)
LOL, this is exactly what I did three weeks ago. I even have animated tombstones going.

Nice! They do match really well. I just added the diecast "campy camper" from a few pages ago, and a few things like the spooky town gargoyle fountain. Just got some pico LEDs yesterday to wire up. Should be great!

Checkout the animated tombstones from lemax spooky town. On ebay they can be had for about 30.00 pre owned. Yep I posted about that camper a month or so ago, not bad on ebay for like 5.00 and matches well.
The price on "Little Shop of Games" website is clearly a place holder. There is a few other websites that have the listing but the price is TBD. Stern is greedy but not stupid...(or are they?). Though they do need to get this topper out, the pin has been released for about a year now and the hype is dying down.

Think little shop of games posted a page or 2 back and said this is the price from Stern!
Stern might not be stupid but a lot of us are stupid enough to buy an over priced topper, we proved that with Star Wars then we confirmed our stupidity buying up the Jurassic Park topper.

You don't believe the guy from LSOG who said that is what the price actually is?
The "hype" for the game is NOT dying down, it's only picking up as the code is finished up. It's a phenomenal game and a there is a backlog of orders for it!
Don't buy the topper if it offends you.

Any owners here also have an AFM or AFMr? Wondering how different Ehoh Is from a shots/layout standpoint. Really intrigued by the theme and ambiance of Elvira but don’t want the gameplay to feel too similar in my small collection, thanks
I have both. Both are keepers with completely different play styles (fan layout aside). It’s actually much closer to Medieval madness in layout.
look how fast used ehoh pins are selling. Hype is far from over. I ordered a topper yesterday, dont really care ifvit was 500 or 1000. I think it will be great addition to a fantastic game. My distributor said price is prob gonna be 999
My guess is that it's got a big LCD in the middle. It flips up when crypt is open and displays the floating dead heads on the topper LCD instead of having them on the main LCD. That looks cool and fixes a complaint many have that the dead heads get in the way on the main display. Give the topper owners something cool regarding gameplay but non topper owners arent missing a new mode. Cost of the LCD plus 3 to 4 node boards for LCD, motor, lights, switches drive the cost up compared to the flat plastic toppers with only lighting effects that cost $400 to $600.
If they want extra credit the use the LCD in a "peppers ghost" type set up or one of those hologram fans so the dead heads look more ghost like. Maybe throw in some strobe flashers for lighting effects in sync with the game thunder audio. That might be worth the extra money.

That would be a great topper!!
did u wax the gargoyles? Its almost annoying how often they hit the glass now. Not quite. But almost
My buddy just picked up EHOH, the turret is offset and doesn’t spin, any help would be much appreciated
Quoted from nexfx:Most of us in this forum own this pin and love the game, we are already biased to what the hype really is.
And it's not dying down, only picking up.
Quoted from dudah:I know the turret code isn't complete yet. But my turret is always off center like this. It tests fine in the menu. I've noticed it light up during a wizard mode. Is this normal?

Mine does same thing, no biggie.

Gives the house character.
FWIW - Had the $999 Stern list price for the topper confirmed by two other dealers.
Was hoping that the LSOG price was indeed just a placeholder but no such luck. 
No word on availability.
Quoted from dudah:Noticed some denting in the shooter lane. I’m at less than 100 games. Turned the trough power way down.

Cliffy makes a protector that prevents that kind of wear.
Quoted from jfh:FWIW - Had the $999 Stern list price for the topper confirmed by two other dealers.
It must have Elvira on it and be animated for that price.
Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Quoted from Vitty:perhaps its costing this much due to asset negotiations.
That might explain the rumored limit of 200 units. But $1k is still nuts for a topper.

Ok pix was removed so I deleted my post not to get anyone in trouble with the powers to be.
But there was revealing topper pix posted

Quoted from jfh:It’s also gonna suck if we have to spend $1k on a topper and still open it by hand ...
Or have to take it apart and rebuild the whole dam thing over again. However those were like 469.00 which by now sounds very reasonably priced

If this turns out to be the quality sh*t show that the Munsters topper was there are going to be 200 really pissed off owners.
Quoted from EricHadley:I’m in on a topper!
Me too!! Told my distributor to hold one. Looks great!!

Just a guess, but I would hope it has something to do with the floating deadheads and mean that they somehow float in the air from the topper instead of on the LCD screen. Taking the deadheads off the LCD and putting them in a topper would be great!
But, that's just a wild guess.....

Quoted from PinRush72:This was on FB for a min and then deleted. Not sure what that’s worth but feel free to speculate lol.

Looks like there’s a pair of red eyes in each gargoyle pedestal that can be lit independent of the other pedestal.
That alone must have contributed at least two or three tens of dollars to the retail price.

If that adds to the price, I'm still in. I think it can be their best one yet
The picture underneath may just be a placeholder until they get
An LCD in there - we don't know how far in the design lifecycle the photo was taken
If its an LCD that indeed mechanically pops up, it will be enough to sell it I think. I dont think it justifies the price, but I dont see them having an issue selling this. Didnt Jurassic Park toppers sell out immediately? That thing was met with a shit storm of hate, only to sell out almost instantly.
Anyone seen this topper? I guess it's a one-off, but damn this would be a great alternative to the limited gargoyle topper.
Thinking about adding these - they look quite a bit like the flashers in SS:

pasted_image (resized).pngQuoted from cabal:has anyone seen the topper in deadflips last stream?
he is streaming something else but topper can be seen in the background.
around 8:00 is focusing on it.
About the only thing he said about it was that it was very heavy. Hopefully he'll do another Elvira stream soon and we can finally see what it does.

IMHO he is waiting to showcase it until the next code drops, which might be very shortly.
