Well, I applaud Stern for continuing to make commercial pins and some of them being pretty decent. But there is no doubt my Twilight Zone and even my Sorcerer(1985) feel much more solid than any of their efforts. When I bought my one and only NIB pin The Simpsons Pinball Party, I was appalled at the cheapness of the wood used. When I first lifted the playfield it nearly buckled under its own weight and I could see a crease forming what would have been a split in half if I didn't support the underside with one hand from then on out. When I try nudging a Bally/Williams pin I find it a challenge. When I nudge a new Stern I worry I might get arrested for the destruction of property.

Is 8 years a record for reviving a thread?
