Quoted from kermit24:If Beatles with an LCD didn't move at $7999, how does this even have a chance?
They were trying to sell close to 2,000 Beatles pins, this one will be a run of 100...maybe.

Can anyone confirm the price on the Heavy Metal pin (was it written somewhere) or is it just speculation?
I love the heavy metal books. I wouldve been happy with a retheme of one of the older games like Metallica, tron, ac/dc, heck even avengers. Any of the full featured pins reskinned but the fricking homepin and they want 8k+ holy crap they suck.
Quoted from ULEKstore:Can anyone confirm the price on the Heavy Metal pin (was it written somewhere) or is it just speculation?
Distros are quoting $8299.

Good point.

You’d have to ask the Heavy Metal gang. For whatever it’s worth, they decided there is a market for it, apparently, and are willing to pay stern to build these to satisfy that market and make a profit.
I have no idea who reads that comic or if there’s a rabid Fan base there with disposable income. Anybody want to chime in on that?
Can incedeum sell 100 of these like Primus did, to fans who are buying solely on art and theme?
Quoted from jkashani:I predict this to be a flop.
It’s not possible for Stern as they have already profited from this, hence a contract pin, any additional sales on top of that is just gravy for them
Quoted from CrazyLevi:I wonder if they’ll have him doing cover songs. Seems the most likely reason for hiring him.
And skid row was already over when he left. That shit was done! He’s done ok for himself. Even ended up on Broadway if I recall.
I remember seeing him with Carl Anderson in 2003 doing this show. He was really pretty impressive! I never knew this occurred though....

heavy metal. yes, a giant boat anchor!!!
Quoted from jkashani:I predict this to be a flop.
I don’t think this is marketed at me. I don’t get what Heavy Metal they mean?
The Film (I like)
The Music Genre
A video game
This would be pretty cool
Anyway... I hope it’s fun! Maybe I’ll get to play it at TPF.
Quoted from extraballingtmc:I saw Sebastian Bach last year and he was awesome. Got tickets again March 31st. The man can sing.
Loved his work in Gilmore Girls!
Quoted from jaytrem:Loved his work in Gilmore Girls!
But boy does she have a set of pipes!
I don't really follow these contract pins (like Supreme), so I had question about the code. Do the contract games tend to be mostly code complete when they are released or are they like the normal Sterns (at beta stage) when released?
Quoted from Jaybird815:It’s not possible for Stern as they have already profited from this, hence a contract pin, any additional sales on top of that is just gravy for them
It can be a flop to their reputation, not just financially. They are putting out lower quality pins at higher prices than competitors.
PS- look at Primus Prices

Good, but needs more boobage...

Just look around pinside, their reputation has already flopped, yet they’re still the number one producer of pins by a huge margin, why is that?

That’s a dam good question!
Quoted from whitey:That’s a dam good question!
Pinside only represents a small portion of the pinball community. Most of the actual buyers don't inspect the shooter lanes with a microscope
However you feel about this pin, can we all agree to be thankful that Stern didn't hype up this announcement (complete with countdown timer) like they did with Star Wars Home Edition?
Quoted from Daditude:I'm not sure of the timeline, but does anyone know if it will be at TPF?
This game is slated for 3/20 and and TPF starts 3/27 so I would say most likely. The contract game situation makes it not 100% but they had a Primus at their booth at Pinburgh.
Quoted from PoMC:Woah, woah, woah, stop the clock.
A pinball manufacturer has manufactured a new pinball machine? They have one job and seems like they're doing it well.
Ronnie? “What’s you’re problem?”

Wow a simple re-theme of a 4k star wars machine for 2x the price another winner stern
So is this going to be a Stranger Things reskin? Music videos on the projector and groupie jizz and blood that can be found by the $279 flashlight add on...actually..that might be cooler than what STH currently is.
Quoted from jaytrem:Loved his work in Gilmore Girls!
Loved his work in Trailer Park Boys!

I just read that the new Corvette will be available down there
Quoted from PoMC:Why does that bawtha you? Du.
“Ronnie’s Sex Tips” is the theme Stern should be going for. Stern by Stern.
“Shoot your balls in her asschreeks”
Jackpot callout: “YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Quoted from SilverballSleuth:Heavy Metal is a cool theme - that’s all I say.
Of course it is. Somewhere out there, 100 huge Heavy Metal fans are going to be very happy. I'm sure the artwork is gonna be really cool.
I'm really surprised we don't have a single Heavy Metal superfan here. Not one?!
Quoted from AttackFromPhilly:However you feel about this pin, can we all agree to be thankful that Stern didn't hype up this announcement (complete with countdown timer) like they did with Star Wars Home Edition?
Atleast it’s not another whoa Nellie reskin. I do wish they would pick one of their better playing pins like MET, Star Trek or even TWD. If the reskinned twd I’d be interested
I am excited for this to come out. I also think it is WAY overpriced. $8300 with a DMD??? So I will wait and buy one when I can pick it up as next to new for $3800.
Quoted from kermit24:The "built to order" concept is interesting. What does that exactly mean? I always thought Stern builds games based on distributor orders / commitments anyways.
I bet it just means they didn't want to put a cap of the total number before they open sales. If the reception is lukewarm, they'll make 100. If it's a warm reception they'll make like 200.
They don't want to Munsters themselves where the demand is higher than anticipated and they have to increase the number of LEs after the original announcement.

Funny, I listened to the soundtrack last Saturday & didn't hear Sebastian Bach. I heard BOC, Haggar, Black Sabbath, Cheap Trick...
Because the game has nothing to do with the Heavy Metal movie. Its a generic metal music pin with artwork from heavy metal magazine.
