Similar feelings. Pro is usually the way I go but I just might pop on Premium. I have really liked all the Pro models I have bought. They suit me well.

Got the clock from the Bradford exchange. Can’t wait for the pin!!!!!

Cool Clock.

I hate to say it because it pisses people off, but these younger generations just dont want to work anymore. Im not talking about everyone of course but alot of them are just lazy as hell. I know alot of young guys that work hard also but i know alot more that wont hit a lick.

My company is telling all the employees to try snd find people who want a job here and to have them fill out an application. I honestly can't find anybody because everyone i know says they wont work like i do. Man i wish that i had that option to be that way. Its awfully cold here in Ohio right now though and i really like to eat so i guess i better keep on working because being hungry and homeless would suck. My old hound dog loves to eat also so i gotta keep plugging away for him as well. I worry about him more than i do myself honestly lol.

I love that clock. They have a really cool Munsters lamp also.

I know a second generation , specialized roofing company that will be closing soon as they can’t find qualified workers..... the owner said heck with it; I’m done!

It's everywhere, sadly.."work ethic" is something very few are willing to get wrapped around, or even understand, regardless of what the $$$ is.

We have an onboarding rate of about 1 in 11 applicants, then half of those don't last a year. A different world, indeed....

Munsters announcement before turkey day!!! (please)

Check out this Munsters lamp. Make sure you look at all of the pictures. Man $200.00 dollars though.

Is it a cuckoo clock? Looks pretty cool

It says every hour it plays the Munsters theme song and the lights flicker.

It is, and lights up!!! looks amazing.....appears to be my first mod before I even have the pin (not the first time)....

It is to "Look" like a cuckoo clock. You can not pull the chains and they do not wind down. It is battery operated...more like a music box / light show.
Very detailed and keeps excellent time . volume nob and test button. Do not ever move the hands. standard battery clock movement dial 3 AA"s , also if I recall 2 double D's for the lights. Had mine for a couple years, love it.

I want the clock and the lamp both so bad i cant stand it. Why did i have to see this? WHY....WHY...WHYYYYYY???

No shit. What's a millennials dream job? Being paid to listen to their favorite music.

millennials are PROBLEMATIC (resized).jpg

are there any leaked photos of playfield circulating?

Would like to see if so.

My nephew wanted to be a fast food critic

Because you must!!! (I have no table in the room for the lamp...yet)...

Side - decided to look up definition of "cuckoo clock", as no pin pics to stare at yet (I collect watches, and was curious).....

"A cuckoo clock is a clock with a door from which a toy cuckoo comes out and makes noises like a cuckoo every hour or half hour." (Collins English)

I don't want that....want a Munsters "Kooky" clock....

I wish Charlie the raven would come out like a cuckoo clock. (he is there though)

My grandma many years ago gave me an original cuckoo clock with the bird that pops out and then a lady came out and she spins around while it plays music and for the life of me i dont know what i did with it. Im thinking i might have given that to my uncle but i need to find out because that was really special and would be worth good money right now i bet.

Also my uncle used to collect watches but i dont think hes into it anymore and it seems like i remember him saying that he might sell some of them? I know he had some really nice ones so if you would be interested let me know and i will ask him about it.

None at all that i am aware of. There were the leaked photos of the cabinet but i assume that you already saw those probably right?

yes

Wish i had some playfield pics for you but i dont. All i know is the premium /LE is supposed to have a lower playfield and the Pro does not. All rumors of course.

wow!!!..my grandpa had a cool one where the bird came out, and some sort of carousel that spun w it....was amazing, but long gone now....grabbing that Munsters version now....too tempting

I've had to curb my watch pursuits as of late...talk about crazy $$$! I've got a nice selection, but thanks for the offer....

Unless a Munsters watch appears....

Just saw they added another car....or I missed it before.

Yes that is the same clock that i had and it had the big long chains with the pinecone weights that made it run, it was awesome. I like that Munsters lamp just as much as i like the clock. Neither are worth their asking price but they are so awesome that i may get them anyways.

Truth

Posted this recently on Aussie Arcade.
Apologies to jam up Munsters thread.
We need something to watch while we wait

Seen on my recent trip to the Banning pinball ORGY

A bar actually built for Millennials: The "ME" bar. You go into this public place to be by yourself.

Or with others and ignore everyone you're with to be elsewhere on your smartphone. Pathetic but true...

This is an amazing extemporaneous dissertation. Amen Bro

The Munsters pinball pails with respect to this. I'm not sorry for distracting this thread. Thanks for sharing this link, I shall share it far beyond this forum.

Back to canned laughter "Opioid for the Masses"

I hope Dwight codes this, like Lyman’s is doing with Batman 66. Having the episodes with the show.

If Borg does his magic on the playfield. This will be an epic pin.

6 months later... still speculating

We interviewed Butch Patrick earlier today for our weekly horror podcast (The Swearwolves). It’s (the interview) about 15 minutes long.

Amongst other things, we asked him about the pin. He told us stuff.

The episode will be released 11/26 at 12am ET.

Awesome, I will certainly tune in, someone make this a key post.

I absolutely love Bradford Exchange clocks, I bought one about 2 years ago and was so torn between Munsters and Disney Halloween clock. I ended up buying Disney Halloween but am tempted to still order The Munsters one too.

We have to wait a week for this podcast?

yeah, kind of like the night b/4 Christmas too

nightmare (resized).png

Not at all! We've got 11 other episodes you can check out in the meantime, brother!

Seriously though, the reason for the delay is that we release new episodes at midnight every Monday, and we already had the one that came out today 100% edited, mixed, mastered, and ready for human consumption on the off-chance that Butch canceled or the interview fell through.

Episode 12 (11/26) is about horror TV shows, so it made sense to save the Butch Patrick interview for that one. I cut it in and made some final edits for time purposes (not to Butch's interview - that's 100% uncut) late last night. I gave the whole thing a listen this morning, and it's good to go for next week.

For those who plan to tune in just for the pinball segment, the interview starts at about the 10:40 mark, and the pinball part starts at about 18:55 (and runs just under 2 minutes).

BUT... if you dig all things horror, please consider checking out our show. We have a lot of fun doing it - and while we mostly talk movies - we touch on lots of other stuff, too: like video games, pinball, music, conventions, etc. We are a bit potty-mouthed... just putting that out there.

*edit: oh, and I should also mention that all three of us on the podcast are Pinsiders. There's me, @bretbmf, and @ajnada.

FYI Munsters complete series on sale at Best Buy for $15, down from $40!

Thanks, may have to pick that up!

bought the box set and arrived today

I haven't seen pics myself but a friend and a few other influential pinball collectors I know have seen pics on C. Franchi's phone and they all tell me the premium and le have a lower playfield also the main playfield only has 2 flippers.

and a 3rd upper level or mini playfield?

Any other info? Artwork on PF Black & White? Staircase ramp in the middle?

Just ordered mine online also and it will be here next tuesday, cant wait!

Lower PF! It's gotta be the lab.

There is no upper playfield,I was assured of that as I'm looking at Munsters as my first nib purchase and I'm not a fan of upper or lower playfields so a pro will be my choice. I didn't ask any other questions except the additional playfields and how many flippers it had.

Pro for me as well..... Pro’s and LE’s are the first to get shipped?

Yes usually Pros, LE's, then Premiums i believe.

Chris thinks it could be soon...
