Stern, 2016Quoted from Audioenslaved: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

Quoted from Capinball: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.
So are you telling me Ecto Cooler is going to soon take the place of Shasta on Pinside?
I cant believe what people are asking for nostalgic sugar water on Ebay.
It may be time to stock up on the juice.
Another interesting thing on the Ritchie interview was that they talked about the new display screen coming later this year. This was the first time (that I recall) that Stern specifically used the term "LCD" and not just "new display". Seems like a no-brainer, but I have heard some people speculating on color-changing DMD's and such.
Quoted from swinks:yes, dare say GB will be announced in March at Texas and then production start a few weeks to a month later
Anyone think they will actually have one at the Texas show?
Quoted from docquest:Anyone think they will actually have one at the Texas show?
I'd say that it's almost a given that they will unless there's a massive flaw discovered in the design during testing.
Quoted from iceman44:My enthusiasm is starting to wane. Maybe pick up a premium later
Looking at P3 and TH as options.
Same here. By the looks of things I am wondering if this won't be announced until another 6 months from now. Then delivery won't be until months after that, based on how long its taking SMVE to finally build and get out the door.
Quoted from Captain_Kirk: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!
Gary's favorite game is always the one that's in production at the time he is asked, so I am not surprised by this.

Guess you aren't looking to get a game anytime soon then.......
Quoted from kpg:Same here. By the looks of things I am wondering if this won't be announced until another 6 months from now. Then delivery won't be until months after that, based on how long its taking SMVE to finally build and get out the door.
Wrong.

Steve is not Gary. Steve says what he wants.
Quoted from iceman44:Apparently not. GB either
GB is first new Stern title of the year. Not a summer release, coming soon.
Quoted from kpg:You talk as if you definitely know and aren't guessing - can you confirm how you know this info, with confidence?
The information came with my source when I received the whitewood, cad, and art design over 2 months ago. I do not have a monopoly on this information. Others that have posted in here and are privy to the same info have stated this.

Awesome. Thank you. I hope I am wrong and you are right, as I am really looking forward to this. I sold my WOZ ECLE the other day specifically to fund this game.
Quoted from txstargazer3:That's a big Twinkie.
That had better be a call out on the machine!
Stern usually throws out some obscure hints in the days before an announcement. Has anyone picked up on any? Maybe they will forego the hints this time due to all the leaks.
Ok, everybody give two lines that would be the best for when you hit a flipper button between games, for a credit drop, and the start button. My guesses:
Flipper button:
- Back off, man. I'm a scientist.
- Listen... do you smell something?
Credit drop:
- We'd like to get a sample of your brain tissue.
- What did you DO, Ray?
Start button:
- He slimed me.
- We're ready to believe you.
Quoted from craigj:My prediction - March/April announcement, summer it starts shipping out to customers. Also, unrelated to GB, the Hobbit will ship by next Friday March 4th. Call me Nostradamus.
I predict I will have my priemum on June 25th.
If I go LE May 1st.

flipper button: Did you have any toys as a kid? I had a slinky once, but I straightened it
credit drop: that's a big twinkie
start button: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes. the dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... mass hysteria!
On drain at end of long ball: Why worry? Each one of us is carrying an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.
On fast drain: This man has no dick.
Quoted from cooked71: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.....

Im betting on too cheap
Was just thinking... Wouldn't it have been prefect for the wizard blocks rotating flashers to be used on this game
Quoted from BoJo:Gary's favorite game is always the one that's in production at the time he is asked, so I am not surprised by this.
Gary has hinted on several occassions without saying... Potc is his fav pin
Can't wait for you people to put this game through the ringer so I can then decide if I'll get one later on down the road (Sure glad I picked up that GOT instead of waiting).
Quoted from dgoett:and there's a Stern Star Gazer in one of the scenes
Yes i Know 
Quoted from Astropin:Can't wait for you people to put this game through the ringer so I can then decide if I'll get one later on down the road (Sure glad I picked up that GOT instead of waiting).
Pretty sure it already has been put through it..... Several times.
Wow just saw the colored pictures of the cab art for the pro with the ecto 1 and it looks amazing up to now i had only seen the black and white sketch version, it definitely looks better then the slimer from the pictures i have seen also it looks like it may have black legs and rails etc.
