Quoted from Coindork:What is the average air speed velocity of a laden swallow?
Depending on the designer or coder you might get a different answer lol
Quoted from LTG:Will Keith Elwin ever do a Jaws pin ?
LTG : )
Quoted from Psw757:Where the F is the Mando topper?
I have the same question, been waiting for this one.
Quoted from Bmanpin:What does the pin release roadmap look like for the next five years? They must have a plan of some sort or have ideas in play in regards to certain licenses.
I like this one a lot. I have a lot of pro Nikon gear and this year they put out a roadmap of lenses. This has built trust and also let users plan upgrades\purchases for the up coming years. For Stern this would generate a ton of excitement.
Quoted from Pinplayer1967:Why don’t you release the toppers at the same time the game is released?
Could not agree more. I know for me when I have a new pin I am out to do mods and buy a topper in the first 30 days. After that I start to think clearer and start designing my own. I just did a quick cost analysis and if they would hire a topper team it would be a new profit center for them. Working with the designer it would also release at the same time. Sure they could use some high energy talent (me <---). Let's Go
Quoted from chuckwurt:What are all the games that almost made it to production, but we’re scrapped at some point?
Never thought about that, good one.
Quoted from NightTrain:Where is Motley Crue?
Yes ! Great band but you would have to do it right. Better the Rush but not like Led Zeppelin
Quoted from Mardi-Gras-Man:Great Toppic!
But sorry - there would be at least 4 questions that I'd like to ask him... please excuse me.
1 - Why didn't PENTOGRAM get into production (1979)
2 - " was COSMIC PRINCESS only produced in Australia (1979)
3 - is it true what was rumoured back then that the TRIDENT-Man IS Gary Stern?
4 - If you could own just 1 of all your machines (classic and recent) - which one would it be?
Great questions.
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Insider connect.
Are we ever going to able to connect to other players, and play head to head, just like, you know, online games having been doing for years?
Yes yes yes One of the main selling points as to why I bought a new pin. Please let’s release this code.
Quoted from MJK-911:Why are any and all accessories non existent to the normal Joe ? Why are accessories soo difficult to be released with a current game. Especially the Expression Lights for Rush, I feel the Premium buyers were baited and switched!!!! Hard to believe Stern can’t produce Amazing toppers in house. Where is the creative talent in this World?
One idea I had was an in house creative topper team. They would sell a ton.

Quoted from RyanStl:Will you ever make a BTTF remake so crujones4life can have some peace?
Would love for that to come out.
Quoted from whthrs166:And his answer would be "He already Has" I toured the Stern factory when JP was next to be on the line. It's code name was, (you guessed it) JAWS. Gary is very careful (when you talk with him) about what he says. I a l m o s t got him to reveal the next title the day I met him on the tour. "Gary what's next?" " oh well.... another pinball machine..." Dang it! almost...
Yeah it’s always good to use the same canned response. They do a good job keeping it under wraps.
Quoted from fisherdaman:Why do you offer accessories like toppers and armor, if you can't meet the demand?
Good solid question right there. I would actual like to hear the real honest answer and what business struggles are there. Because it does seem like you could make large orders of those or produce them in house.
