Quoted from aeonblack:

I'm ready to drain it already. This is the biggest fluff thread on pinside. The only reason I haven't yet is I'm anxious to see the release details for this, and I'll probably find out about it here before anywhere else.

Fluff piece. Right.

Move along.

Quoted from tacshose:

If February passes with no announcement I think this thread will die

That's great material.

Even if GB does not get released until July, this thread will slog onward with anxious and hopeful posts.

Unfortunately, checking this thread is a guilty pleasure.. just hoping when I check it theres some type of new info on a leak or details about a reveal. I think every single time I have checked it in several months I have only been disappointed. The good thing is when it is released, a brand new discussion thread will be created and then we will all migrate to that one while we tirelessly await the deliveries of our GB's. Then we can all go back to bitching about Color DMD and LCD screens ...

#4555 8 years ago

Unfortunately, leaks won't survive on this thread for long. Have to be in fast before info gets removed, unless somebody finds it elsewhere and will just be passing on info and not a link.

#4556 8 years ago

If the thread is "fluff" is there a fluffer to keep it fluffy?

#4557 8 years ago

We have top men working on it right now.

I want to know who will post a "Where's the Ghostbusters code update?" Thread before GB is even released.

#4568 8 years ago

Sorry to disappoint you guys, but here is another leak. Apparently this is the "Hemsworth LE Concept"

#4569 8 years ago
Quoted from swinks:

I would love a GB pin, already have a ecto maybe as a topper, has to be original ghost busters not the new one
I would be really really disappointed if they did the original cast for le and premium only as they would miss on so many Pro sales especially with the dollar values being bad. Come on Stern do a full featured pin on all levels with only the translite and cabinet art and trim being different.
A dutch pinsider (Star_Gazer) did these concepts (which I saved as they were so cool) in another thread - awesome ideas.

Note: This is not my work and hope the artist of these chimes in and I vote Dirty Donny or Zombie Yeti for the artist

Hmmm, I notice some similarities from this older post to some of the recent details that have emerged (the led flippers, the Zombie Yeti, position of Stay Puft). Very fascinating.

This would be a cool alt translite (assuming you put the Ghostbusters name and logo on it)

Perma-Ban for you.

#4572 8 years ago

What music do you guys think we will see for the modes? I can just hear the theme intro playing as a ball is waiting in the shooter lane only to kick in fully on the plunge. Maybe a little "Savin the day" during the wizard mode?

Is the new movie really just gonna be called Ghostbusters with no subtitle? Disappointing.

I love Key Lime. I want to find those.

I believe I read somewhere that it will be called Ghostbusters: Estroplasmic Vagitarians

#4577 8 years ago

Still waiting to give my money to Stern. If ghostbuster is awesome than GB it will be. If GB is MEH......Game of Thrones will be my choice.

But if they wait too long to announce GB than maybe GOT Premium won't be available no more and I fear Stern will loose my money.

Summer is coming lol

That doesn't look or sound that great, yet, I still found myself searching for them when I was out shopping last night, after reading your post.

Why not both? *throws money in the air*

It says on the box in the picture "Only in Theaters". I think they might be a theater only limited edition twinkie LOL.

#4581 8 years ago

Stern has a factory picture on FB with numerous boxes of parts labeled by game. One of them looks like its labeled "Politico Pro." Maybe I'm just deciphering it wrong; wonder what game that is?

Politico was Game of Thrones, Harold is GB

Well damn. Thought I was on to something.

It's letting you know that it's only in theaters so you don't confuse as being marketed towards the original. New one is being released July 15 and those Twinkies are best used by April 7. I really only care about the Ecto Cooler that's being re-released. I may not have any money left for the Ghostbusters pin after stocking up on that sugar water.

Amen brother!

I was going to say that we need an ecto cooler alternative translite but I actually like the leaked translite so maybe just an ecto cooler playfield mod. It could go next to the Ghostbusters cereal and Ghostbusters ceiling fan mods.

But seriously, it's awesome to see Ghostbusters merch everywhere again...and it's not all reboot merch either. A lot of it is merch geared towards the classic line, as they are now calling it.

This popped up on slickdeals today. Preorder your mod time...

yes, dare say GB will be announced in March at Texas and then production start a few weeks to a month later

#4591 8 years ago

Bummer that the announce might be a while.

Guess I'll add this to my Favorites and wait to see the huge spike in posts to know that there is something actually going on over here.

#4592 8 years ago

My plan for trying and buying GB at SFGE in June might actually pan out with this timeline. Sweet.

#4593 8 years ago

Just watched Steve Ritchie's interview today on Stern Facebook page. He went through his favorite games by different designers. He said his favorite John Trudeau game was the one he's working on right now, but he couldn't say anymore about it.

Nice to see the King giving Ghostbusters a thumbs up!

And wait some more.....

#4596 8 years ago

I'm good with waiting. Let it bake in the oven and then let the juices settle. Don't rush any aspect of this one.

Just found this flyer.....didnt know this was a complete GB copy. Wonder if they tried to get the licence but couldnt, or were just too cheap.....

#4600 8 years ago

Spoke with my distro and he said that Ghostbusters is definitely the next one with 2 models for "now" and the announcement to be made in the next 3 weeks or so so I'm guessing from all the hype that's here there will be a premium
