Friendly mod team reminder:

When someone is trolling a thread, especially a club thread, report them so we can eject them...do not quote them and argue with them.

This is not a discussion thread. Go to one of the other Elvira threads for that. This is a club thread for owners and fans of the game.

All other discussion in this thread is off topic. Keep this thread on topic gang, ejections will issue otherwise. There are other Elvira threads, one with thousands of posts...go to that one with negativity and non-owner and non-fan issues. Thank you.

Checking in on is game. How’s the code coming along? With Lyman in charge I’m sure it will be epic at the end of the day.

Yep, Lyman is the man. Every game he takes lead on ends up being a masterpiece. My wife and I have decided on getting an Elvira 3 soon(ish), primarily due to Lyman being the lead coder.

Not sure when we will take the plunge, just depends on if we can find a nicely priced used one. I hear it’s scheduled to go back on the line in August at Stern, though I’m guessing the production schedule may get mixed up a bit.

Pinball has evolved over the last twenty five years. The games of today have better code, better lights, better sound, better displays... Classics are always going to be the same great game they always were, but these new machines are where the innovation occurs. E3 is clearly the best of the three Elvira games, and it’s not close.

I’m sure their build order is always subject to change based on many factors (such as demand)...and who knows the build order now given the shutdown. If you have a strong relationship with some distributors you’ll find many frequently know what the build order plan is for some period into the future...since they are committing to product orders in advance.

My family is officially joining the club! Should have one next week sometime (it shipped out today). Our first NIB Stern since BM66, we love all of Lyman’s games and just couldn’t pass this up.

It’s out of stock at many places at the moment, but there are some places you can still get one. I hear it is going back on the line in August.

I parted with my single owner HUO The Walking Dead LE refinery edition blinged to the gills machine for an Elvira 3 premium. Never thought I’d be selling that game, but Elvira drew my family in.

We got our Elvira set up and playing! Really enjoying it and super happy we joined the club!

I noticed that Flipper Fidelity does not list EHOH as being compatible with their kits on their website. Which speaker kit works with an Elvira Premium? I’m guessing it was just omitted and that one of them in fact is compatible?

Great! Which one is it?

The distributors are a very cheap sales force. Stern will never get rid of them…companies rarely cut down on their sales force even in great times like Stern is enjoying now. It is too difficult to build them back up when you need them. The last thing Stern wants is for their former sales force to be working exclusively for Stern’s competitors selling against them…they’d be getting slammed on Zach’s podcast every week rather booster from it.

Besides, if Stern cut out their distribution network Stern would cease having a presence at most pinball shows. It’s not Stern that is supporting the shows, it is their local distributors.

I didn’t realize those didn’t come with insider connect…or is it on the coin door or something?

Did Stern ever get the inside connect kit made for the Elvira Premiums? I’m wondering if I need to figure out how to rig one if not.

Perfect. I will hunt down a regular premium kit and be off to the races. Thank you!
