Primus
Stern, 2018This actually looks pretty good, the art is fantastic and the sound effects on the pin go well with the music. I’m not a huge Primus fan, but I do have a cd from the band Sausage, which I believe was the original Primus lineup. I like the music on it quite a bit but it’s more straightforward than the Primus stuff.
Quoted from RandomGuyOffCL:His show wasn’t canceled was it?
No I don't believe so. They ended it by choice.
It happens! Ted Danson pulled the plug on Cheers.
Anyway better hurry up on those Primus buys. They are down to 8 left!
Quoted from CrazyLevi:It would be fun if just for one day we all had to read comments from 15 idiots criticizing how we do our day jobs
They call that "yelp".
Quoted from BudManPinFan:I like the music on it quite a bit but it’s more straightforward than the Primus stuff.
Quoted from mnpinball:There are officially 8 games remaining now, 24 hours after Monday public sale.
Someone pointed out in the other thread that if you choose the "Stern" option, there are 50 available.

Well if Primus had raised the budget and retail price thousands of dollars per game so they could make a few Pinsiders happy with a rethemed Stars game I'm sure they'd have sold faster.

What if they contracted through Spooky and made a good game.?
Quoted from gliebig:What if they contracted through Spooky and made a good game.?
Then they would have contracted through Spooky and made a good game. Maybe even one as good as their previous contract jobs, Dominos or Jetsons!
No idea what the costs would have been, or if Spooky would have even been able to take on the project, or if they could have procured the services of Zombie yeti, which was apparently the most important thing for the customer, Primus. We also don't know if Spooky could have churned out 100 of them in the two days that it took Stern to run this entire lot of 100 games.
I guess we'll never know. 
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:100 * 10k max? Stern rolls in our cash. How much you think Primus gets - 10% 20%???
What do you care on what Primus gets? Jesus one foolish comment after another. 
All this brings up an interesting question. If you contract a game thru Stern, how many different layouts are available?
Say I wanted a Planters themed game and had the license, do you think I could get it done with a Tron playfield?
Quoted from gliebig:I'd take a primus themed jetsons or dominos with this artwork 100xs over whoe nellie.
Fascinating!
Quoted from o-din:All this brings up an interesting question. If you contract a game thru Stern, how many different layouts are available?
All evidence right now points toward Spiderman Home and Whoa Nellie as the two available contract base games. But who knows, maybe anything in production is fair game if you are willing to spend enough money! Only one way to find out.

Awesome!

So lets figure this out. Neither Supreme or Primus probably did this to lose money. Supreme sold for $10,000 and what is this one $8500?
100 units is probably the minimum order so that makes $850,000- $1,000,000 retail for the finished product. So cost was probably anywhere between $500,000 - $800,000 perhaps a little more or a little less for either of the known options.
A 100 game run of Planters not counting license fees on a Tron playfield which doesn't have much more than a Spiderman home edition on it would probably run a cool million.
I've always really enjoyed the WNBJM layout. It's nothing fancy but it provides lots of just simple pinball fun. I've never understood the hate for that layout in any of it's now 3 formats. I can understand the thinking it's not worth the money, but WNBJM and PBRCC were both pretty darn fun.
I'm looking forward to getting to portal on planters.

It will have "Sea of Mixed Nuts" too.

Careful, I hear stern likes to steal licenses out from under folks. It's all fun and games when your sitting in the room finalizing the deal with Mr Peanut himself until Jody crashes the party swinging the big stick.

At the speed at which these are selling out out, why f*n not? Should have been minimum $10K each with 4 different price tiers. Everyone has left money on the table here.

Stolen licenses - You referring to the Tofu Godzilla ?
I never saw the Tofu one in a Movie. I suppose that monster was about indestructible - how could that much Tofu be eaten or destroyed ?
I don't know what the attraction was about a Godzilla made of Tofu. Why would Stern want to make a game based on that...
Regular Godzilla would be better.

Tofu makes everything better.
Never played the old Resident Evil games 500 times in row?

So lets figure this out. Neither Supreme or Primus probably did this to lose money. Supreme sold for $10,000 and what is this one $7000?
100 units is probably the minimum order so that makes $700,000- $1,000,000 retail for the finished product. So cost was probably anywhere between $500,000 - $800,000 perhaps a little more or a little less for either of the known options.

It’s TOHO

So do you think my limited Planters run might be worth $40k each someday? Especially with a Tron layout? I may have to go LE Tron on that one.
Quoted from WolfManCat:I would have bought this game but I already have WNBJM and as much fun as Primus is I think I prefer big titties more.
I have both. Love it !
Quoted from o-din:So do you think my limited Planters run might be worth $40k each someday? Especially with a Tron layout? I may have to go LE Tron on that one.
No

Depends on how many ramps are lit with el wire, what arcade mod, if the bg is Mr or Mrs peanut, and how much of the game is dipped in chrome.
8 / 2 / 2 machines left on https://clubbastardo.themerchcollective.com/collections/primus-pinball/products/primus-custom-pinball-machine-limited-edition-signed?variant=13587207520331
So only 12 total remain to buy, o-din!
Quoted from jgentry:what arcade mod,
I think it should have a giant Mr. Peanut cracking open a car and eating people running in a loop.

I don't know why I thought it was cheaper but just noticed the $8500 and had a wee bit of sticker shock.

You're nuts.

Quoted from TheLaw:I believe so
Usually, when a member has duplicate accounts, they both get banned. At least that's the way it usually is. But not happening yet.
So I guess there is nothing stopping any of us from deactivating one and starting up another. I think a deactivated account can be re activated up to three times.

Dibs on Bartholomew Richard Fitzgerald-Smythe aka Mr. Peanut

Is that IPA really just a reskin of a can of Schlitz Ice? 
Quoted from LesManley:Is that IPA really just a reskin of a can of Schlitz Ice?
That's some real IPA LE. Sold one day only at Noon Whistle Brewery in Lombard, IL. Good luck finding some.

Hoping that’s just a play on words and not a peanut flavored beer
