Quoted from Mudflaps:It’s grossly expensive for what it is, but next to the Kiss topper, it’s Stern’s best. The new code made it even better.
Before the new code I said I would never buy it due to cost and how it barely works. Now that I have seen how it works, I need one haha.
Im curious why exactly they need a license for this. I mean, cant they just make something similar and call it a "ambulance topper" or whatever. I dont even think the topper has any GB logo or anything on it.
What makes this a license issue vs. just offering something thats on a cop car or whatever?
Quoted from TheCnyPinGuy:The topper has the logo Ghostbusters in front
Indeed I love mine
I was told by Stern that based on a standard pin run they make roughly enough toppers for 25% of the games
Whether this is true or not I cannot confirm
Oh gotcha, didnt know it had a logo. Ok then take the logo off and people can just add a sticker or something.

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Your post was a good idea. Did you hear of one yet?
Nope! Not a word..
Quoted from kermit24:Someone posted and offered $1200 for a GB Topper. Not sure if it was Pinside or Facebook.
lol. Well I definitely would not pay anything ridiculous like that.
Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:Kind of surprised no one has offered you one in $500-$700 range. That would seriously lower their total cost basis, plus some have toppers they don’t care about. Someone will make a good substitute (someone mentioned trying to make them for sale close to the $500 level.) Yikes!
I saw some GB lights on eBay for $75 that are in a similar configuration but with fancier lights used. I didn’t care for the look, but maybe the next guy will make one better looking than Stern’s original one. I may buy the ecto1 car and try to mod the leds. It looks better anyways.
Wonder if your luck would improve if you threw out a number of what you’d pay and whether you‘s expect them to package and ship it? It might draw someone in.
Id only be willing to pay $500, the original cost if it is in perfect shape. $500 for the topper from Stern is already a large amount imo.
