I'd have an LE of every title!
well, you'd really only need to sneak one unique piece at a time. All the solenoids, brackets, bulbs and other common parts you can just get from Marco.
If I worked at Stern, I would not miss dealing with Rockwell Automation's software on a daily basis.
I would ask if someone got nut punched for WWE?
Just kidding.
It would be fun, but a job is a job. I’m not sure I would want my hobby as a job.
Oh Stern, won't you buy me, a Godzilla LE.... my friends all have Mandos, it's really bumming me. I've worked hard on the line, just doin' my time....oh Stern, won't you buy me a Godzillllllaaaa LE.
Definitely have a saltwater fishtank in the lobby with car/snowmobile/hockey magazines for the sales guys....seriously
If I worked at Stern pinball. I'd get the biggest, hugest, mother loving microwave I could find. And add it to the stack of microwaves there.
LTG : )
if i worked at Stern, I'd casually sit on Gary's desk, slowly cross my legs, and ask "so, what'cha working on??".
Quoted from bigehrl:if i worked at Stern, I'd casually sit right on Gary's desk, slowly cross my legs, and ask "so, what'cha working on??".
I thought you'd say, "Get 'ER Done ! "
LTG : )
Quoted from fosaisu:If I worked at Stern, I'd bring five separate reheatable items for lunch every day.
And 2 of those items would always be fish and something w curry in it. For that yummy work smell
Allow the designers to be more creative and put more mechanisms and toys in the game!! Also include toppers.

If I worked at Stern
I would get all the intel about the lines, production, holdups and bring it back here for the customers
I’d casually stroll through the door of that super secret project design room munching on a bag of Doritos.
Quoted from Elvishasleft:If I worked at Stern I would turn on all the microwaves at once just to see what would happen.
If I worked at Stern I would make a Cosby pin with 3000 callouts from that Jell-O eatin M’fr just to troll the shit out of pinside…
If I worked at Stern, I’d do a new playfield layout and code on:
The Munsters and Monopoly.
And then have a giant customer appreciation party at Stern!
I'd buy all the expensive ketchups. Like the fanciest Dijon ketchups. And haven't you always wanted a monkey?
but seriously: why not hiring a workforce of volunteers helping with the huge backlog? At least for me, I am willing to sign a NDA and spend my holidays at Stern. Anybody else?

Depends on where the bottlenecks are, Stern may have plenty of labor but a shortage of parts.
True story- A few months ago I ordered a bed control for a hospital bed because the replaceable hook on the back of the remote is not available separate. How stupid is that? So weeks go by with no bed remote. I call my rep to ask what is going on and they contact the company who makes the beds.
What caught her eye was all the beds they sell were on backorder, ALL OF THEM.
Seems there is a shortage of remotes to the point not only could they not supply replacement parts they didn't have any to ship with beds!
-Move the QR reader to coin door location while the concept is in its infancy.
-Make Limited Edition machines unlimited for the duration of the license contract to help keep a fair and consistent supply to the large growing list of distributors(not enough allocation) and eliminate scalpers on second hand market.
-Open up the lines of communication so distributors have clear information to communicate to their customers.
-Increase beta testing with key figures to help reduce warranty and qc issues and lower overall cost.
-Eliminate the home version pinball with no coin door(at $4000+ this concept is dead)
-Start a new division capitalizing on the virtual pinball market and introduce official Stern licensed virtual machines.
-Not sure I could move or live in Chicago, stay off Pinside-keep my mouth shut-but I do love pinball and have ideas.

Oh man, I have a weakness for Italian beef.
Pretty sure I'd die if I ate it regularly, though.
