    Quoted from TreyBo69:

    It's not a zero-sum game. The market is growing. It's fine that JJP is taking market share from Stern, because Stern is still seeing large growth overall as the industry leader.
    Stern isn't going to overreact JJP getting some Wonka's out the door after watching them tread water for several years. (I'm sure they appreciate JJP for experimenting with how much you can jack up the price in the base/premium/LE model)
    I really don't think Stern is worried about Spooky. 500 games a year is just not worth much thought. Stern can sell about that many LE's 4x a year.
    I think Stern isn't concerned with JJP and Spooky because of the mixed opinion of operators and their build quality. Plus it's just hard to beat the price on a Stern Pro. (Sure Stern has their own build quality issues too, but the perception is different for most people).
    I think Stern should be concerned with CGC though. They're cranking out classic games that people love for a decent price. If I see a lineup full of new pinballs, it's going to be mostly Stern and with some CGC.
    American Pinball. I'm writing their name just to prove I didn't forget about them. Just not worth talking about.

    This right here. 6x upvote multiplier should be available.

    Also, Wonka looks kind of boring and slow just like Oz was (IMO) but to each their own.

    Quoted from TrueJedi:

    I don't think a SW home edition is what anywhere here wants or was hoping for (myself included). A lower cost Star Wars pin could very well appeal to buyers who don't own a pinball machine, but enjoy the concept and theme. I'm just not confident pricing around $4k USD, like they did with Spiderman, is low enough to sizeably penetrate that non pin-owner market if that's their goal. On the arcade machine side arcade owners were disgusted with the Arcade 1Up machines when they came out, but their low cost pricing allowed many non-arcade owners to pony up and buy. It also helped that many well known retailers sold them. Sales have been decent enough that Arcade 1Up is now bring out more themes and designs. Again, the Arcade 1Up machines are not $4k USD, but under $500.

    Have you seen the size and build quality of the 1Ups? Arcade owners were in no way shape or form threatened by the existence of these. I am not really sure what you are suggesting here. A $500 SW pin made out of particle board for little kids?

    Quoted from mjruser:

    It's a Frank Zappa pin for sure!
    Backglass based on 'Dinah-Moe Humm'
    I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb
    But I still didn't hear no Dinah-Moe Humm,[quoted image]

    I would want a Bayyyybyyyyy Snayyayaykkkesss multiball.

    Quoted from fisherdaman:

    Arcade threads are blowing up right now with 1up arcade mods, and I would strongly argue that price and placement are strong factors in their "success."

    Lol, what? Every big box store has piles of these they are trying to sell for 60-70% off. They are shit and so tiny they aren't worth it over any other DIY Mame solution.
