Quoted from Parkshow30:

So I got home today and there was a package on my front porch addressed to me from Stern Pinball. I didn’t order anything so I had no idea what it could be. I entered the gameroom of the month contest maybe 6 months back and thought huh, maybe they were looking back at old photos and I won. Inside there is 3 classic Godzilla snap together models, a really cool Godzilla graphic novel type of book and a little Godzilla bobble head.
Hmmmmm….
No note, no packing slip, no clues. Then I see on the box handwritten in red ink is Jeremey Packer. I said to my wife, you know who this is? It’s Zombie Yeti, one of the greatest pinball artists of all time! Why would I be getting a package from him?!
Then I thought maybe this is a swag pack that you can buy from Stern, so I asked my sister and my parents if they bought me something as a gift. Nope they didn’t. Then I looked on the Stern website and found they don’t sell anything like this.
Hmmmmm….
Then I thought my wife bought me a Godzilla Pinball machine and this was a swag pack that she got to go with it. My youngest daughter has been saying for the past 6 months that she is going to buy me a Godzilla pinball machine for Father’s Day with her piggy bank money. Yes she is the sweetest girl ever. My wife denied this but had a weird look on her face so I thought she was lying… unfortunately turns out she was not, she did not get me a new Godzilla pinball machine.
Then we notice that the handwritten Jeremy could easily be mistaken for Jeffrey and Packer could easily be mistaken Parker….
And I think we have a winner. On the label it says purchase number Jody Dankberg, the head of licensing for Stern. My guess is Jody was sending this stuff to Jeremey, wrote the name on the box and gave it to the shipping department who thought it said Parker. My name is in their system because I got my first NIB machine, a Jurassic Park from Flip N Out in September of 2020, then had the Jeep Opto go bad and got a new one under warranty sent to me directly from Stern.
So, long winded post but it took me a few guesses, to figure out what I am pretty sure happened, too bad it wasn’t that my daughter had gotten me a Godzilla. I’ll be getting ahold of someone at Stern at lunch tomorrow and will probably need to be getting to the post office soon to get this stuff to Jeremey. Good thing I didn’t let my daughters open up the models and start putting them together!
