Quoted from seenev:

I've had a few good experiences with Flip n Out, but my GZ order from I don't even remember when was never fulfilled and I haven't even heard a single thing about it since getting an invoice. Meanwhile other distros have had them in stock numerous times since I ordered. I guess it's time to look for another distro.

I have no beef with Zach. Seems like a good guy. It just seems like he sells his allotment faster due to his high visibility and until Stern ramps up production you have to keep your options open. I'd certainly buy from him if he ever has a machine I want. He hasn't yet but he responds quickly so he's on my 'no harm in asking list'.

Quoted from ticktockman:

Bruh, I sent you an email about getting a JP Premium this run and you said you were all sold out…

Sorry about that. Believe me, we aim to sell as many machines as we can haha.

I was able to secure more units from this run that I was not expecting. Unlike many dealers, we will not lie to people and promise a game that we know we do not have allotment for. But when I am told I have more of my order coming than originally planned, I won't say no to them

We hope to earn your business in the future.

Quoted from AMartin56:

Same. Ended up putting a deposit down elsewhere. Certainly wouldn't mind ordering from Zach otherwise.

Quoted from ticktockman:

He must hate us Austin guys.

Sorry guys. And Flip N Out Pinball looooooves those Texans and their Austin dollas! HA. We have a ton of Texas customers and friends. And hey, with us still offering Free Shipping, they love us too. (Damn shipping to TX recently has been $500-800 a game)

Sorry for the delay in Stern's production of Godzilla Premium. We wish if you had issue or concern that you would reach out to us to discuss instead of us stumbling upon it here. We still have you down for one and we still have a ton backordered and waiting for Stern Pinball. And the good news is that we haven't required any money from you for that order. The level of frustration we have at times waiting and seeing our customers bail for one at a dealer that isn't putting in the work that we do is very difficult to say the least. But, we can only control what we can control. We apologize that you haven't received your game yet and feel that we are not keeping you informed. If you are going to be purchasing from another dealer as you suggest, please please let us know so that we can cancel your order and will have more accurate estimates for those customers behind you on the list. Sorry again

My Wife drunkenly ordered a Godzilla Premium from Zach back in June of 2022. This will be my 3rd machine ordered from Zach (1 before FlipnOut and 2 with FlipnOut). Zach just messaged us last week and said the game is finally ready to be shipped out! Zach and Nicole always pull thru and I never doubted them. Just have some patience with the manufactures. Zach and Nicole are doing what they can to take care of their customers. Sure it was hard waiting almost a year for Godzilla and was also hard seeing used ones for sale around my area but would rather my money go to FlipnOut. Zach is the OG and my favorite guy named Zach!

Whew I needed that, thank you.

Well lemme add to my man’s credentials. All 5 of my pins came from Zach and Nicole. Not to mention shakers and art blades. I first saw Zach and Greg’s SDTM* channel on YouTube when I first became interested in the hobby. This team has been nothing but stellar. Zach somehow got a replacement Godzilla Premium out to me during PEAK Godzilla season after FedEx seemed to literally drop ship and drop kick it all throughout their warehouse. Greg is always quick to get my parts and replacements issues resolved. Nicole gets my invoices sent over expeditiously. And Zach freakin replies to my texts even while he’s on family vacation. Sorry about that lol. Much love to FlipNOut.

Quoted from F__U:

I like things because I like them. I liked other toppers that people hated and cried about as well. Like the Ghostbusters topper, the GOTG topper, the Star Wars topper, the Jurassic Park topper, the UV lighting for Stranger Things, the Bond topper, etc...

Oh damn man I have liked all of the Stern toppers well enough to purchase them. I like OEM Accessories on stuff. Just the integration alone is a deal-breaker for a lot of the after-market third-party accessories.

In my opinion, every single Stern pinball machine looks much better with the official Stern Pinball topper. Which ones do not?

So how many did you order that you need to sell? You have no credibility giving any opinion or review when your selling said items.

Stern has not provided any updates for next Rush topper and Expression Kits runs.

Um, well, thanks for coming to chat in the Flip N Out Pinball thread…

Oh and I gotta say, you got me. Damn it. Yup, I can’t stand toppers and only lie to the public in efforts to kill all of my credibility and self-respect and to make a few bucks on a product.

Or maybe I actually like what I sell? Nahhh, I’m a piece of shit.

The first topper I ever saw in an arcade, it was sitting on top of Dragon's Lair, a spectator monitor for everyone crowded around to see, which was pretty cool. And I remember container machines like FT, WH20, TAF, JD, WW, and others coming back without their factory toppers looking a bit empty. I'd have to look at a catalog of Stern machines to see which might look better with them, but probably at least those that add additional modes!

I’ve got several toppers I like. TWD, WH20 and MB are my favs

But hey, I hated the GB topper and wouldn’t buy it for what you paid for it

We all just need to spread the love, different strokes for different folks. And I think it's great that people have so many options when it comes to mods, toppers, replacement parts, etc.

Mmmm I do love those toppers as well. Speaking of actually making money, I wish I could find the material to repro those White Water toppers. Ol Flip N Out Pinball would be going into the manufacturing business if so haha.

[quoted image]

Nailed it. Some people dislike pinball mods, some people love them. Some people buy some mods that I can't understand why, but others think it puts a little more Class Under The Glass. (that was a nice phrase there Zach, nicely done self, nicely done)

#489 1 year ago

Fail, Stern.

$1000 for a topper with the same crappy figure on it with some static tanks and lights? The topper itself is worth about $300. So $700 for an added mode?

Whatever bro.

Drew sucks at pinball... Zach sucks at toppers!

#491 1 year ago

I would have preferred a monstrous Zack blowing fire on the city vs. what Stern made......

Especially if he was torching Gary, Kaneda, Disney-Boy and Greg!!!

THAT would be a good mechanically animated topper.

See? You can still get into manufacturing.

You could have the foil sheets custom made. The foil is the trick. The movement is just the lights changing the angle and hitting the different segments integrated into the foil.

That said, the trials of getting it right might age you.

this response... lmfao

#497 1 year ago

It's disappointing, but only because the expectations were sky high for one of Sterns greatest ever games.

Toppers aren't for everyone, and absolutely yes, they are all overpriced. However I gotta say when you have a line of Spike 2 Sterns all with the official toppers, it does have a very nice crisp look to it, and with them all powered on and lighting all going off together its a thing of beauty.

#498 1 year ago

My take is that if you are going to ask $1000 for a topper at least try to make it look cool even if it is just cheap, crappy plastic. Like, make an effort. No effort was put into that topper whatsoever. I actually find it to be a bit insulting.

#499 1 year ago
Quoted from Krupps4:

I actually find it to be a bit insulting.

Ah we haven’t had a good “slap in the face from stern!” Rant here in a while.

Remember…if you aren’t insulted, can you really say you don’t like it?
