    Stern has updated their site with a couple cool new products and some discounts that are worth checking out.

    Dirty Donny LE Zodiac Poster Signed and Numbered out of 100 was discounted from $50 down to $10. Hard to pass up at that price.

    Colored Aprons are now discounted from $99 down to $69. I grabbed a red one for my Wrestlemania. Blue on my old X-Men Pro and purple on my Ghostbusters looked great.

    For new Products they have a metal lightbox now. I got one of these as a prize from the WWE King of the Ring Tournament they had years ago. It is bad ass. Super low profile, you can change out translites without taking it off the wall. I am very surprised it's only $99, I thought they would be more than that if they ever sold them.

    They also now have a Stern Pinball anti-fatigue mat. Might have to check one of these out in the future.

    Quoted from thedarkknight77:

    Can some take a few pictures of the lighted translite frame? Curious to see the cord and what the entire frame looks like on someone’s wall.
    .

    Cord is in the lower left side as you can see in the second picture. I ran it through the wall and plugged it in behind there.

    The Dirty Donny posters showed up today with my red apron. Posters are on heavy duty cardstock, really nice. They were numbered out of #200 though and not out of #100 as advertised. My posters were in the low 60's so if they are going in numerical order, they seem to have plenty of stock left. Also, the dimensions on the site are incorrect, it says they are 18x20" but in fact they are 18x24" so don't go out and buy a frame before it arrives.

    Quoted from northerndude:

    Sooooooooo, what a frickin' nightmare buying the Dirty Donny posters......... long story.
    so, i see this thread and though, cool, those posters are a nice deal, i'll grab two of them. Ohhhh, shipping $32us - oh well, that's basically shitloads. I'll sell one poster to someone in Canada and they can get a nice deal out of it also, this will work nicely for myself and another pinhead.
    Get e-mail a while back saying its been shipped, blah, blah. Notifications saying duty may be applied. ok, well, we'll see, its only a $20 product (2 x $10 posters)
    Get three emails saying delivery day last week, nobody ever came and kept getting, "ok new delivery date tomorrow" emails. Finally get a "missed your delivery" email this am. Saying couldn't collect fees... I'm like frig, cant collect? I checked my account each time and it never gave an amount so I figured it got through ok. I'm kind of pissed because I updated the delivery to drop at side door.
    I call into UPS, (even though when I was checking item out, it said delivery through First class USPS, which I prefer) UPS sucks donkey balls coming into Canada. They say I have a $45+ bill still through them for brokerage and tax, I say tax should'y be more than $3-4 bucks on a $20 item. They say GST is $6+, im like well thats tax on over a 100 bucks??? She says the total is $128 canadian and they brokerage a % on that amount......i'm like, fuck I paid $20 for two friggin posters made in USA.... FFS, i gave her an earful and got off the phone.
    I called into Stern, they said, yeah, we don't ship anything USPS, I said its on the checkout page on site! I say, I refuse to buy anything outside Canada that ships UPS, they are awful. She told me to refuse package and she will refund my money if I e-mail her back, she was very nice/proper to deal with anyway.
    dang.

    That sucks. It's unfortunate the site isn't more user friendly. I had trouble with shipping in the US and I had to call the company that handles their order processing to put my order through too. I did let Zach know about the product description mismatch and Stern did update the dimensions on the poster and removed the limited number of #100 which was good to see though.

    I have a feeling they source those from another company. They are not something they could do in house. They probably order and drop ship them right from that company.

    On a more amusing note, my friend just got his two Dirty Donny limited edition posters in the mail...

    Quoted from Pickle:

    Interesting....I just ordered one. Cool print either way but now we don’t really know how many truly exist. And we really have no way to know if DD numbered and signed them or if Stern printed extra hoping to squeeze some extra cash. I wouldn’t put it past Stern to do some dumb crap like that.

    I ordered 2 before my friend did and got #62 and #63 so who knows how the numbers work or if there is any true limited amount at all. Like you said, it's a cool poster so for $10 I don't really care either way.

    Interesting, the metal lightbox has completely vanished from Stern's shop. Even the link to it I originally posted goes to nothing now. That sucks if they stop offering it, as it is a fantastic product...when it eventually shows up.

    Also, looks like they got rid of blue and red aprons as well and only have orange and purple now. Red and blue are not an option anymore and the picture has been changed to remove them. That's a shame too. I have red on Wrestlemania and had blue on my X-Men Pro and they look great.

    Quoted from KozMckPinball:

    Assuming these light boxes fit only a Stern translite dimension, does anybody know the dimensions of a Stern translite? Currently I do not have a Stern translite yet. I want to measure my Williams/Bally translites to see if they will fit in addition to the Sterns I will be getting. Thanks!

    I opened mine up to check it out and it looks like there isn't a lot of wiggle room in there foe slightly different dimensions.

    Quoted from AUKraut:

    Just talked to Stern 10 minutes ago: They are still waiting to receive the translite frames!!! When I asked about why this is keep getting delayed, according to the lady at Stern they are trying to line up a different supplier as the previous supplier was to expensive and would have required them to go back and charge us more!!!! They are still in negotiations with a supplier and hope to have them soon.......wow!!!!
    To this day I have gotten ZERO calls or emails from Stern about the delays, only found out things by calling myself and given delivery dates that have been missed 3 times now.....poor customer service at best! I'm cancelling my order now and contacting my CC issuer...

    I do have to say I was shocked when I saw they were only listed at $99.99 in the store, especially when a little custom shooter rod is $70. When I got mine, I figured if they ever sold them, they would be $150-200+. Hopefully everyone gets their's sooner than later, it really is a nice product.

    Quoted from Luckydogg420:

    I was just thinking about this picture with 2 prints that both have the same number on them. It rubs me the wrong way a bit. As I see it there are 2 possibilities with this scenario
    1, an honest mistake, someone can’t count
    2, this is straight up fraud. - this one I’m more inclined to believe
    I wonder if a LE game ever has ever had a duplicate number plate installed?

    Yeah, I'm not sure. I would think honest mistake since the 2 prints with the same number where shipped to the same person. Obviously the same person buying two numbered prints is going to notice if they are the same. It does make you wonder how many others have received duplicate numbers though.
