Quoted from rubberducks:

I'd be surprised if they don't do Fathom. Same art and layout, new rules and probably their new DMD style LCD. Build cost would be very low, pricing is getting up there for originals, and 'only' 3500 were made.
I suspect Stern have discussed doing something similar with Sea Witch / Meteor / Star Gazer etc.

i have a slight issue with the statement that "build costs would be very low." how did you come to this conclusion?

whether you're making a Dialed in, Guardians of the Galaxy, TNA, AFMr or any pinball for that matter, there are certain things that just cost money. Cabinet (wood), playfield (wood) cabinet art, playfield art/clear, displays (a 15.6" lcd is actually about half the price of 4 "classic stern 6 digit display"), switches, assemblies, etc, etc. If you think this can be done "cheaply" then you are wrong. While they might not make them with rgb lighting, they most likely will make them with led lighting (probably surface mount like current remakes) which probably costs more than incandescent bulbs and sockets.

I think people that are hoping for a $3500 remake are going to be disappointed. I would really be shocked if any of them come in sub $6000, that includes possible ss games.

just my thoughts, not trying to single you out personally. just curious on how you came up with "build costs would be very low." while on that subject, "very low" is relative. For me a new pin coming out at $5000 is low, for a guy who has a garage full of sports cars, $10,000 might be "very low" and for the new dad working 2 jobs and wanting a pinball anything over $3000 is not "very low" at all.

thanks for the discussion. carry on.

"play more pinball and be nice to each other..." i miss Nate from Coast to Coast.
