Quoted from freeplay3:Considering this is one of the few pictures of King Kong on the pinside splash, I would say troll.

Yeah it definitely got me for sure. I was browsing on my phone and had semi bad service so I couldn't easily throw up a tab for a reverse image search.
Quoted from Tuukka:In these cases it is always best to act first, and check later. Yes - it probably is an April fool, but you don't lose anything by just asking.
I honestly forgot what day it was, but you know the saying about things being to good to be true.
Quoted from Frax:Production: 9 units (confirmed)
Say what you will, but I picked up a Quick Silver in playable condition for $160 a few years back. That was a to good to be true moment that actually turned out to be true.
Quoted from TheDarkKnight68:No, not an April Fool's joke. And the next Stern pin, Frasier, was announced today. What a great pinball day! A new title AND an old rarity popping up on the same day.... schweeetness!!
I think 90s TV show themed pins would be awesome.
Quoted from Frax:Production: 1,201 units (confirmed)Yeah, what's 3 orders of magnitude difference worth anyways.
You're downplaying how hard it is to find Quicksilvers in the wild. It's obviously not as rare as a king kong, but most of them have been destroyed. Good condition restores go for a lot. That Quicksilver got me $2,000 AND a Williams Firepower in really good condition. 1 hour of my time picking it up and $160.
I had offers right under 4k for it and it needed a full playfield resto and the cab repainted.
If I had gotten a $500 EM for $160 I could see your eye rolling, but you can't deny that sounds like a to good to be true moment.
