    Why is it that....Stern doesn't release production numbers? Do they build them at area 51?

    I'm thinking counting of production numbers would add considerable cost to an already struggling manufacturer.

    That may be, but I would think someone knows that number already. If they made 10,000 of...let's say Spiderman....but we may speculate they produced only 500, then that would likely increase value. That is just my opinion, but would MM be selling for three times what TZ goes for if they produced 15000 of them?

    I find some production numbers in that little book that tells the prices from mr pinball. I thought they didn't release number because there was the possibility they'd always make more......

    I would think the people who manufacture the printed circuit boards etc know numbers they made as some of this has to be outsourced.

    There could also be a number in the original firmware itself.

    My guess is Stern is hiding secret RFID chips or micro-transmitters in their machines anyway to report back to them
