Way behind schedule. Stern said two weeks moving time. I'm going with month or more setup time.
They were supposed to be setup and churning by jan 2
Quoted from lllvjr:Maybe never
Look at the size of that place. Gary is gonna need a golf cart to get around in there.

I thought I sensed a disturbance in the force. Turns out it might just be the oysters I had for lunch.

GravitaR, why would you thumbs down me saying "I can already envision a new Star Wars pin coming off the assembly line there."?

Only due to the fact that Stern (Data East/Sega) has already done Starwars 2 times now and didn't get it right once. Maybe the third time is the charm? Who knows. Time for a different company to make the pin.

I don't think the Data East unit was a bad game. Plus you really cant say Stern made those 2 titles. Yes, I get it, those companies became Stern, but its not like Gary Stern sat down with Lucas and said "I work for this company called Data East and we want to make a pinball machine based on Star Wars"
Personally, I think it would be awesome to break in the new building with such a historic pin such as Star Wars.
I'm not say Jersey Jack couldn't make a nice one, but production is just too slow coming from JJP.
Gary could have that title in our homes for this Christmas's theatrical release.

That's exactly what happened. Gary was/is the president of Data East/Sega/Stern, inc. The company simply had different owners, but Gary has ran everything since 1987.
Quoted from Jasontaps:Maybe its time for Stern to go with a unlicensed title to christen their new facilities.
No rehash a SS title with a DMD or LCD. A classic like funhouse same rules new audio and dot's or video.

They do have one coming off the line soon , Big Juicy Melons !
Can anyone just imagine what kind of live models that they could use to model around this pin at the pinball shows. WOW !!!!

Exactly. Gary, Shelley Sax, and Joe Kaminkow started Data East out of Gary's house. They proposed the idea of a pinball division to Data East, got the funding from them, and the rest is history. Back in the day Gary's title was "General Manager" but that was just semantics....
