Can't know secondary prices without having an eye on Pinside. That's kind of interesting that Pinside has such an impact on what Stern decisions get made.

Quoted from lamihh:A GB Vault Edition with LCD screen and footage from the 1984 movie would be something I would buy in a heartbeat (though I’ve owned a GB LE and was pretty much fed up after a while and sold it)
A GB Vault would probably have the flipper gap decreased, I thought Dwight was fooling a comment like that a year ago, just a WAG it seemed on his part at the time.
Quoted from DakotaMike:Historically, pinball designers DON"T get any royalties or residual payments. For instance, Brian Eddy talked about how he sees no money from the CGC Remakes. Now, I don't know specifically how it works at Stern, but I would highly doubt that anyone who worked on GB would see additional money for a Vault. Only the licensor would get any extra cash.
It seems unlikely to me that Gary decided to cut his designers in on cash royalties, when that hasn't been the historic precedent, and when he was the only game in town for over a decade.
As with everyone, your work belongs to the company you work for, even the patents. I think Brian Eddy received a patent (owned by Williams license holder now I guess) for the ramp design on Medieval Madness.
Same for the guy that invented the catalytic converter and the guy that invented intermittent wipers, IP owned by their company. In the latter case, didn't they make a movie with Greg Kinnear starring about how his life was eaten up by pursuing lawsuits? If I remember, he won a huge settlement but thought he wasted his life in pursuit of it.
