Quoted from Sinestro:Nah. There will be one more big GB update.
Check your ass. There may be monkeys flying out of it.

Be ready to eat your latest restoration project when it drops! You need the fiber anyway!
Quoted from beelzeboob:But it IS a 15 minute fix. Problem is, Stern should have figured it out and fixed it in later runs. Instead, they just wimped out and disabled it in the code, saying it was always intended to be that way.
Bull. Shit.
I did the fix and it's much better but still not 100%. But where does this "you're on your own" mentality leave people that don't have the skill to make the fix? Just bad, bad decision at Stern on GoT, especially, as you said, not adjusting future builds so they work mostly right.

Dude...that's SO 2015. You're a new member here with only one machine, so you don't even know what you're talking about.

This is also true, and a valid point. My bad.
At least you know what you're talking about. Sinestro won't even take the glass off his Ghostbusters.

I'm blissfully naive!

I'm NOT that green!
Quoted from LewisD:Dead Flip is going to be live streaming from the Stern factory tonight....showing "something we have never seen played." Seems a little odd for Stern to debut a brand new game on a live stream. Maybe a prototype white wood?
He is playing the Spiderman Home edition.
Quoted from hawkmoon:SO,you all think that Walt Disney Studios,who now own all the licenses to SW,is just going to let Stern Build a pin??
Since Stern bought the license rights to build a pin, yes.
LTG : )
Quoted from o-din:And check out the mob that's lining up to buy it.
Wow ... they did a good job giving a 70s feel to the premiere ... remember when Grauman's Chinese Theater looked like that back in the 70s? Amazing ... and that RENT-A-CAR sign was the exact same one up back then too! Good job!
Quoted from hawkmoon:SO,you all think that Walt Disney Studios,who now own all the licenses to SW,is just going to let Stern Build a pin?? Go to Walmart online toy store,put in pinball toys,and bingo,there is the new Star wars pin!!$79.95!!! A TOY!!! And yes,Darth Vader is on the head of it!! Have fun! I play mine freakwently!!!
mos def. Ever since Disney bought the rights they have been licensing the crap out of SW stuff. My friend sent me a photo of a bag of oranges branded with BB8 on the label. Also keep in mind that Disney owns the Marvel rights so they have done previous contracts with Stern.

Not to mention Pirates and Tron. Stern's in tight w/ Disney.

spider-man home edition.
Quoted from Boat:Disney going mad with licensing. Stern must have got a license!!
To make lemons?
Quoted from o-din:To make lemons?
Lol my point is : if Disney is willing to license the SW name for fruit, they will issue a license for a pin.
Quoted from Boat:they will issue a license for a pin.
They will issue a license for anything that makes money. And probably not check back and see how good it is.
They put the $ in Di$ney.

Their stock hasn't more than doubled in the last few years for nothing.
And Disneyland is like that Star Trek episode where there were so many people there wasn't even standing room.

Disney told not to license fruit machine's any more after buy lucas art.
Are there any new fruits?.
These are certainly strange looking lightsabers, if Stern makes a Darth Vader LE and this pin is based on the OG trilogy its going to cost me, how couldn't I, damn pinball.
That ain't no lightsaber!!!!
Quoted from Hazoff:These are certainly strange looking lightsabers, if Stern makes a Darth Vader LE and this pin is based on the OG trilogy its going to cost me, how couldn't I, damn pinball.
Convention starts in 3 days are the Aerosmith logo is still up in their Facebook page.
If stern still shows up, I expect to see the 1992 and 1997 machines.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Convention starts in 3 days are the Aerosmith logo is still up in their Facebook page.
That doesn't mean anything. If Stern wants to surprise people, they won't announce their presence there until they unveil the game. They surely won't announce it on a Facebook page.

Wrong, they've done it many times....prior to announcement we've seen cryptic clues, blackout screens, etc
Quoted from LewisD:If Stern wants to surprise people, they won't announce their presence there until they unveil the game.
If Stern wants to surprise people, they won't do another Star Wars machine.
Quoted from foureyedcharlie:Wrong, they've done it many times....prior to announcement we've seen cryptic clues, blackout screens, etc
Not 3 days prior. More like the day before.
I highly doubt STERN is going to change their Facebook background black before Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Doing that would effectively be about the same as them just coming right out and announcing Star Wars.
Kind of surprised there hasn't been more leaked info on this machine. GB and AS both had leaked photos and details before announced.
Quoted from konghusker:Kind of surprised there hasn't been more leaked info on this machine. GB and AS both had leaked photos and details before announced.
GB was an unusually bad leak. AS was the Dirty Donny book. I'd say in general the leaks are pretty small, usually just rumors of the title, basically like what we're dealing with right now.
Quoted from frolic:I'd say in general the leaks are pretty small, usually just rumors of the title
Yep. I am yet to see any photos of the upcoming Pulp Fiction pinball machine.
Quoted from o-din:Yep. I am yet to see any photos of the upcoming Pulp Fiction pinball machine.
God I hope that shit movie isn;t made into a game.
Quoted from TheLaw:God I hope that shit movie isn;t made into a game.
Why. It won't be much different than anything else of late. Except maybe a little newer...
Quoted from o-din:Why. It won't be much different than anything else of late.
True, I dislike the movie but like it more than Metallica, and that turned out great. But I just have to hate it I guess becasue people keep telling me here theme is the most important thing.
Quoted from o-din:To be fair, Pulp Fiction has a more enjoyable song list than Met.
Not by much, but agreed.
Star Wars of Pulp Fiction, pick your poison.
Do you ever stop to think that maybe pinball is passing us by? Or maybe you've passed pinball by? Or perhaps the whole world has passed pinball on by...
Quoted from o-din:Star Wars of Pulp Fiction, pick your poison.
Do you ever stop to think that maybe pinball is passing us by? Or maybe you've passed pinball by? Or perhaps the whole world has passed pinball on by...
Hmm...yes.
Thematically pinball has completely passed me by. I'm sort of in the middle where I'm not really interested in super hero schtik (Most the flicks are laughably bad), but I also don't like Classic Rock as a theme enough to be excited. Like I listen to Rock everyday, but I don't get 'pumped' up by the idea of the bands. Having said that, it seems it's pleasing a lot of people around here and that's what they're aiming for, so that's well.
Now having said 'having said' that already, I am passing it by because I'm going down (ha) on themes whilst everyone else is going up; I care less aboot theme as time goes on as people care more aboot it. I can see how increasing prices help that idea along, but for me it doesn't matter much. If Aerosmith didn't look exactly like Kiss to me and came out a bit earlier, I would have bought it, played it, sold it. Star Wars is great and all, but I'm guying it because it's the next game.
The whole world has passed pinball by long ago.
Quoted from Sinestro:I guess everybody has forgotten about GOT and TWD. New, relevant, not superhero related.
I own one.
Quoted from Sinestro:I guess everybody has forgotten about GOT and TWD. New, relevant, not superhero related.
Yeah like five years ago..
Funny how those are the only two people can bring up now that we are jumping from the 80s back to the 60s and now with AS and SW to the 70s.
Quoted from TheLaw:God I hope that shit movie isn;t made into a game.
I didn't think it was a shit movie but its a shit theme for pinball.
Quoted from Hazoff:I didn't think it was a shit movie but its a shit theme for pinball.
I don't see how Star Wars can be much better. Although it is a great ride at Disneyland.
Quoted from o-din:I don't see how Star Wars can be much better. Although it is a great ride at Disneyland.
Star Wars is a hell of a lot better as a theme for pinball than Pulp Fiction but to each his own, I know ur upset that Stern isn't making the Justin Beiber pin you want to keep with the times but come on man.
Quoted from o-din:I don't see how Star Wars can be much better. Although it is a great ride at Disneyland.
...says the guy with a purplish cartoony Batman machine. Hey...I LOVED the Batman show...when I was SEVEN! But it doesn't translate well now and most people don't even remember that show.
Star Wars just released two blockbuster movies with another on the way. Still as big as ever.
