Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the pinball scene & and am enjoying my 1st pinball machine (Ghostbusters).
As I ponder a 2nd pinball machine in my future I was wondering...

What is the typical production life cycle for any given Stern machine. For example: How long can we expect Stern to produce Ghost Busters or Batman 66 (BM66) machines? Are they produced for years or is it more like 1 year and then Stern moves on the next release?

Thanks DrStarkweather,

It sounds like waiting a year past the initial excitement can be a bit risky with a title such as Batman66.
I was looking at the Stern game archive section . I see some games are marked as soldout while others appear to still have a price tag on them.
