Great team Steve and Lyman!!Can't wait to see what they build!!

uh oh its on now, look forward to seeing what these two can produce. (with a hopefully a bigger budget,more toys etc) WOZ is too much $ for me, maybe i can eventually afford whatever Stern makes next.

Fantastic news, I would expect nothing else as Gary Stern has proved himself a pinball survivor from the 80's onwards Stern>Pinstar>DE>Sega>Stern.

So Steve and Lyman are certainly a dream team and will produce something special and the JJ team are also oozing with talent and they have more of a blank drawing board to design with. I really look forward to the great new games in the pipeline.

Here's hoping that there is room for both to be successful, if so it is great for pinball.

this is good news! hopefully they will be able to start pumping games out, there is a market for them...

I really think Stern and JJP can succeed.

I hope for the best and wish them the best in being sucessful, and turning out some new high quality pins!!!!

Great news thanks for the update drbond! I wonder what project they will work together first on at Stern. Definitely be interesting to see what they come up with.

If anyone thinks that competition in a small market is a bad thing (and that's what's been said for the last 5 years), then this is real proof that it isn't. Stern's realized they can't compete with even the perception of what Jack's doing with a collection of unmotivated amateurs, and is bringing back the talent.

Even if both companies fail, at least they'll go out in a blaze of glory, rather than slowly withering away and leaving nothing but a bitter taste.

Well lets see how those two do the new Lady Ga Ga pin?
should be a bench mark pin that all others are judged from - kind of like SM

Either way it is WIN-WIN!! "Double the pleasure. Double the Fun!"
Heck, let's call up Capcom and see if they are ready to comeback! I mean, they have been VERY successful with Street Fighter IV(+Super) as well as Marvel VS Capcom 3. They should have some piles of money that need spending... Let's get Morrison, Mazur, and Fukuoka together to make something NEW!

If JJ is doing WOZ, I see Stern doing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang! What a battle, who would make a better pin out of Two Classic movies? I think CCBB would be an awesome Pin, Flying/Floating cars! The possibilities are endless.

Benny Hill as the Toymaker! Classic..

Jim Carrey as Professor Coraticus Potts!!!
Who would be Truely Scrumptious? Lady Ga Ga, Faith Hill?

I would love to see a 3 Stooges theme. Done right.

Wesperron; Here is your three stooges pin.

Definitely NOT done right... sorry to the contributor, no offense.

Alice in Wonderland would be cool. I LOVE the new Alice. The movie was pretty cool too.

Oh yeah I watched that movie last year......almost forgot about that

THE JETSON'S!!! take my advice, this machine will sell big time. The conveyor belt= tread mill feature alone will be unstoppable!

I am both amazed by Steve Richie's "High Speed", and vexed by it's multi=ball difficulty... It's so challenging! Just imagine what he could do with........

JANE! STOP THIS CRAZY THING!!!

I want to see a XMEN, Transformers or Harry Potter machine next.

Three stooges pin won't transfer link. Go to Youtube.com, type in "three stooges pinball".

I like the idea of a Ga Ga rock machine! Or what about a Daft Punk machine, that would be cool.

Mind you I still looking forward to Tron with Daft Punk I hope.

These 2 will be working on Transformers Triolgy Pinball coming this xmas

Young people just do not seem to have any affinity for pins. I do not know what it will take to get their interest back. Perhaps if you had and I-touch app. whereby they listened to the machine through their earbuds, and paid online rather than inserting quarters?

Unless it's capable of transforming into a Ms. Pac-Man machine, I'm going to be disappointed...

My bad, a problem in the forum software that strips all underscore characters from posts. Will fix this later today.

Exactly. The further you can remove them from the actual experience, the more likely they are to enjoy it.

Played and talked to Lyman at pinburgh, nice cool guy - also told me how to get the 5 way combo on Tommy

... also told me how to get the 5 way combo on Tommy.]

Do tell. I randomly did a 4-way combo the other day. Unfortunately, I have no idea what I did, and I was shocked when I got credit for it.
