Quoted from TechnicalSteam:Wouldn't you just flip out if it was 2 machines they introduce..
Yes, but only if the second game is Munsters Home Edition.

I'm not posting their name here and getting them in trouble...call around and ask for prices. They are large and advertise on pinside. The last one I called about was in January, so no promises that price is still good. I'm assuming the shipping distance plays a role in that price as well.
Los Angeles, CA
Stop, just stopQuoted from BillPinball:Who is selling Pros at $4800?
I miss the $3400 days ( Elvis).
Hamilton, ON
Quoted from fisherdaman:I would argue that Zizzle does a better job at that than the stern home pins. Zizzles are cheap, small in size and don't take up a bunch of room, but fun with a low price point which that allows consumers a taste of pinball.
I bought my 5yr son a marvel zizzle for Christmas. We sold it about a month later because he wanted to play daddy's "real pinball machines". Zizzle seems like an ok idea but the non coil flipper make it pretty much a piece of junk. At least we made a profit and got him a nice stool to stand on.
Quoted from Whysnow:WAS
SW was a while ago. 4800 was pretty standard then
Why do you always do this with stern pricing? You quote something from 5+ years ago and act like that is current or recent pricing. Then you pretend like you get your games for cheaper then everyone else but never have jack to back up anything you say. Best pricing for SW was around $5200 and people paying $5300-$5400 was very common. You literally do this all of the time. Now you are making fun of someone else saying they got screwed when your # is completely made up.
Quoted from fosaisu:As Whysnow will tell you, he has a distributor (don't bother asking who) that consistently sells him NIB Sterns for hundreds less than anyone else pays. Still, it sounds like zaphx payed several hundred more than "street" price for his SW Pro, so he should call some other distributors next time around.
It pays to shop around. 
It’s gonna be the Star Wars R2D2 topper availability that’s going to be announced....will make PinballManiac40 very happy!
Quoted from fosaisu:he has a distributor (don't bother asking who) that consistently sells him NIB Sterns for hundreds less than anyone else pays.
nah, other get the same prices I do. They just dont mention it here for fear of no longer getting those prices.

It is amusing to me everyone is so concerned about what I paid for a game in Summer of 2017.
It was literally the week of release. I just saw the game at CAX and ordered one, without playing it, as an experiment to see if I liked pins. I figured if I didn't, I could sell it and not lose too much. We can see how that experiment turned out.
I really don't care if I overpaid by $500 or whatever you guys think the price should have been on a launch-week title. Doesn't matter one bit to me.

Doesn't seem like they should be afraid. You say this stuff all the time and what was it, last year when you were claiming TWD pro was $4200?

Most distros are not going to give a great deal to someone they don't know or haven't dealt with before. You maybe could have saved $200 or so but you got the game and have enjoyed it and that's all that matters.
Quoted from chad:I miss the $3400 days ( Elvis).
Starburst had NIB WPT and WOF for under $2500 shipped about 10 years ago, those games were the lowest prices i've paid for NIB Sterns. The current prices are hard to swallow now, but i'm a big sucka for NIB, can't wait for Keith Elwin and Brian Eddys new games gonna be fresh AF.
Quoted from Whysnow:What time is this thing getting announced on Thursday?
The youtube 'premiere' has a 11:30 AM CST time on it.

I think there is a good chance you are correct.

Typical. He buys all his NIB pins at prices lower than anyone else on Pinside, but the value of all his used pins are worth more than anything else on the market. Nothing new here.

Just ignore it, dude.
I don't know if anybody has mentioned this, but, Keith posted a pic of Amityville Horror on his profile FB pic a few days ago.
Makes me think of a giant fish that swims around AMITY Island in the summertime. Maybe I'm just wishing too hard for a JAWS pin, I dunno...

Only will make me happy if you are buying it for me.
Quoted from mrclean:I've never bought a NIB I'm curious whose the top 3 cheapest / best distributors for NIB on or off of Pinside ?!
I just got my first NIB from Vanessa at Operation Pinball. They are in Iowa and I’m in NY but I had it in 3 days. Super nice and really helpful!
Quoted from mjruser:It's a Frank Zappa pin for sure!

Quoted from beefzap:My dream pinball, a Zappa / captain beefheart Bongo Fury LE version
One man's dream is an other's nightmare. I wouldn't play a Zappa machine if I was in the finals of Pinburgh and had to forfeit.
Quoted from barakandl:so its going to be something like this?[quoted image]
=(
What a hot mess that thing was.
For a while all distros had shit pricing
Stern really pushed price fixing for several months it seemed
Not talking about MSRP or MAP rules like in the past but actual sold price floors
It was brief. I think it ended shortly after the Star Wars release. In fact Star Wars MSRP dropped everywhere across the board & then floor price rules changed.
Made me think they saw a slowdown. I think this was shortly after the factory move too. My memory is fuzzy but there’s some truth above.
It got to the point there was no reason to call your distro and wire money. Better off using a credit card for the rewards & ordering online and gain eBay bucks. Every distro had the same shit price. Lots of folks posting “best I got was $100 off”
Glad it’s over.

At least it has a blank coin door instead of a wood panel. Already looks more appealing than the pro

If this tub of crap is more than $2500 it won't sell for shit!
What a FRIGGIN JOKE!
I’d be happy if they just retheme Iron Maiden into just about any other theme. Love the 4 flipper layout.
Quoted from Mike_J:When is Stern releasing their next real pinball machine?
Rumors point to Elvira 3 in October.
Quoted from Coz:I’d be happy if they just retheme Iron Maiden into just about any other theme. Love the 4 flipper layout.
My thoughts exactly. It could be Thomas and Friends for all I care.
Quoted from WolfManCat:Rumors point to Elvira 3 in October.
Jurassic world is such a strong rumor by multiple sources I would think that’s within a few week. You could be right though
