All time Fun Game!!!!

They dont come up often, and its been a long time since an HUO has been posted, I believe.

One lucky Pinsider to catch this Game!

Anyone know how many are made?

It has to be a rarer stern based on not seeing them often.

Sold my HUO BBH a few months ago to a digital studio. Still miss that pin. Price is good for HUO......someone needs to jump on this!

I estimate around 300, similar to CSI, 24. I saw that Keith Johnson estimated 1000, but honestly that sounds pretty high... that was about the size of the original run of Iron Man at 1100. I'm pretty sure there were as many original IM's floating around as there were BBH+CSI+24's combined, and I doubt many would disagree.

Love to have a BBH one day, wish i lived closer.

Great game, very rare to see a HUO of this title come up for sale.

Thanks. That confirms the exact number that someone anonymously PM'd me. They said there are actually a few more CSI, but likely less 24.

I think in my region of the country they are a bit more common because the BBH arcade is more common and hunting things is also more common

Makes sense... I've only seen 2 BBH's other than mine, one in a Nashville hotel in 2013, similar area popular with hunting themes. The other I saw just last year.

I don't have any first hand knowledge, but I assume it is more than the 300 number, and I wouldn't think Keith's estimate was too far off. Consider...

When BBH came out, it was basically just operators purchasing the machines. BBH was a known property for operators. Collectors at the time turned their nose to it and said it was terrible and they didn't want it.

The exact same thing happened with IM initially. People were up in arms that it was a stripped down AP and it was terrible with completely random magnets and no one should get them.

I heard someone say that the pair of these two games "saved" Stern due to strong operator sales. IM obviously caught on and appreciated in price enough for them to do a second run of them later to satisfy collector want. BBH, thanks to it's theme, hasn't caught on the same way. Having said that, BBH is also an absolutely amazing machine, and I think that if more collectors give it a chance, it will become a diamond in the rough. The rules are VERY similar to IM, the hunting theme is done funny enough anyone can get a kick out of it, and the layout and Buck are unique toys. I do own one myself, and I don't think I'll be letting it go any time soon.

Having said that, I also know of a number of operators that own them, sometimes multiple copies of them. I was told by an operator that it was the best earning route game they had bought in years. That was a while ago, but I assume a number of them are still out there earning some serious cash, probably more in the Northern parts of the country

Finally, I know there were multiple runs of the machine, as there are slightly different playfields to them. The easiest marker is the shotgun shells - I believe the initial run were red, while the later run (and rarer version) were yellow.

Just to put a number on it, my guess would be there are between 600-800 of them that were made. Again though, I have NO first hand knowledge, and is pure conjecture on my part.

I have mine and I bought it NIB and it's going nowhere anytime soon. Great game!

I'd trust Keith way more than an anonymous PM. BBH on Pinside: 41 in collection; 79 on location.

CSI: 49 and 64

NBA: 10 and 21

I'd say the 1,000 number seems more likely than 300. If you think BBH and CSI are at 300, then Stern's NBA would have had a production run of about 75.

curious, do you think there are similar CSI and BBH based on the pinside numbers?

I think NBA was just a stinker and nobody liked it so the pinside numbers dont show much other than it is obviously rare (but a case where rare does not mean good )

BBH is one of the best basher games ever " SHOOT AGAIN "

Looks nice, but was someone wearing some big ass jewelry on their start button finger.

worth note that the PM is from an industry person that would know. I trust them rather than a rumor online from a previous employee.

FWIW, I've owned a BBH for two years now and love it. It's such a fun, underrated game. One of my "go to" games when I play my collection.

Good luck with the sale, someone is going to be very happy.

Its so good a game, Id own two!!!!

Yes. Anecdotally, I've also seen one of each of BBH, CSI and NBA on location. There's an NBA about 2 miles away from me and after looking at the playfield I can see why it wasn't a huge hit.

NBA is just a rehas of sega space jam, correct?

Bought mine NIB, a few years ago, mirror blades and LEDs really make this pin. Always fun to play.

More or less yes, with some neat tricks. NBA is actually a surprisingly awesome game, and I'm surprised it didn't sell better. Having said that, it's missing the visual hook that a game like BBH has with the Buck that makes a player at a location want to drop a quarter in. To me, the ball getting fired across the playfield to the hoop may actually be a better gimmick, but since you don't know it's going to happen until you're playing, it's missing that.

Additionally, I think that a lot of ops saw it and thought both that by featuring active players on the backglass, it would be out of date as soon as they picked it up, a problem a game like NBAFB also suffers from, and that it clearly looks like a stripped down Space Jam, which wasn't the greatest game to start with.

Having said that, I'll simply say that I can't find it within me to complete games on Space Jam, and I would own an NBA if I had one fall into my lap.

I have one of the yellow shell variations, but since the prototype on IPDB also has red inserts, it's always been a mystery the origin of it. I have two theories. If the yellow inserts were from a later run they may have been doing that to use up spare parts, meaning they ran out of the red inserts, or used early sample playfields with yellow inserts. I do know this: there were one or two small runs after mine, but I have yet to find anyone else with yellow shell variation.

like this one?

Such a fun game, the callouts are great, I get a kick out of it everytime I play it. My friend has one and said it won't be leaving anytime soon. I agree with those that say it's a sleeper.

That is definitely another!

Yes, lots of impulse offers that quickly fade away. I don't consider anything sold until its paid for on this site.

I completely agree. All I can say is welcome to the pinside market place. With that said you will find there are a ton of great people here. Plenty of flakes though.

I was selling only a $500 game and had someone almost every day on the phone say they would take it then not show up that night and never hear from them again. Between that and the scammers it was not a fun experience but I was able to sell it to a really nice guy as his first pin.

Personally I would LOVE to buy your game. Being a huge deer hunter for over 40 years the theme is perfect for me. If you were only 500 miles closer.

Want an Eight Ball Deluxe and a 60" smart HDTV?

Great game. Very underrated, many players do not like the theme. Some tough shots love playing it. Ball times are short when set up at steep angle.

Another Stern that will go up in price. GLWS

Lots of flakey people in the world.

There is one on location near me where the buck hasn't registered in over a year. It's playfield is pretty much black and the op gives no f&%=*

Would really like to get some time on one that works.

Glwts!

come on out to madison! You need to get a team together for Mad Rollin Pinball. Registration will be opening very soon.
