    Quoted from Otaku:

    Did you read the description? It's two guys & their company licensing the work from Stern.
    Not Stern themselves, nor did it sound like Stern requested/commissioned this.

    They call it the official 30th anniversary Stern Pinball coffee table book.
    So for my understandig if its "official" its something that Stern is involed.

    I considered to spend 125$ in this project, but someone decided to limit this for only 30 supportes. I believe100 would have been the better choice.

    #139 7 years ago

    not interested in the limitation thing.
    i just want the book, the signings and the shirt.
    if i am with 1000000 other peaople , who cares.

    Quoted from Whysnow:

    precisely. They got 500 people to pay up front for their Stern fluff book, then they get to sell the other 500 to make all the profits. That is how these scam kickstarters work. ZERO risk for the guys up front and likely 50-80k in profits on the back end, all the while you have zero idea how many LE, Prem, pros they actually make.

    why are you saying that this project is "scam"?
    what is your problem with this project?
    I am no STERN fan boy, i actually would not buy another NIB from them because lack of finished code, quality issues and pricing, but i am still a pinball fan and i pledged exactly the amount i was willing to, regardless the "limititaion" of the pledge level.
    i feel comfortable in what i have paid for and what i will get.

    if i get nothing, well, than we can talk again about scam.

    so, while Trudeau is actually accuesed possesing CP? ( guilty or not, the man is "burnded" )
    Will the book be rewritten?
    another delay?
    or will this be ignorded and not mentionend?

    Quoted from Rondogg:

    Or they could keep the Trudeau stuff and have the last page be his mug shot. Stern would love that.

    They should keep all Trudeau stuff and cut right after the 31th anniversary.

    i fear, that they have(!) to remove any evidence regarding JT from the book, as STERN does on their facebook page.
    This book was not planned as a historical document with all highs and... hmmm. lows.
    so any further delay could be excused with the Trudeau-thing

    Quoted from frolic:

    I wonder if the "real" reason is still their Trudeau problem. How to excise him from the book, and if he was featured as the big game they were following.
    But not surprised they would never say anything about that.

    In fact, Trudeau should not really be a problem. He has dedigned some really coolpi vall machines for Stern. He is part of Stern's history.
    The time, it was revealed that there could be something wrong with him, they finished working with him immediately.
    So, in my oppinion, no problem at all.

    I wonder how deep STERN is involved in this project.
    Where they paid for the "interviews" and thats all? Or are they really interested that this book will happen?
    Whatever their role in this campaign was/is, they should be aware that in case of a fraud, their name will be attached to this forever.

    Maybe this should be renamed as 33 years of Stern Pinball. So there should be enough time to finish it without missing the deadline?

    11 Days til X-Mas...

    i really think they should rename the whole thing as 33 years of stern pinball.

    Quoted from Rondogg:

    I'm guessing the Trudeau autographed copies are going to take a little longer...

    Visitors are not allowed for him?

    anyone has received the final (!) backer survey?

    #2131 3 years ago

    85$ shipping costs to europe.
    Must be next day delivery.

    Customs and tax will make this the most expensive book i have ever bought.

    #2141 3 years ago

    maybe customs and taxes are included.. (what, wait, it was a dream,...)

    #2148 3 years ago
    Quoted from JustLikeMe:

    Just got my Backerkit survey. Pledged $55 for the book and shipping to the UK is $85.35 - and I'm sure I'd have to pay customs fees on top. Just for fun I added a t-shirt and it increased the shipping by $42 to $127.35.
    For context, I had the Stranger Things UV kit shipped over from Cointaker for $39.99 just a few weeks ago. Ordered Tuesday morning, delivered Friday, and that was a big box.
    I've been patient so far, but this is ridiculous. What can we do about this? Years of delays and they want to rip us off on the shipping?

    If you pledged for the book only, there should be no customs fees .

    in my case , i was so stupid to choose a level, were also a shirt and a "poster" was included, so i have to pay customs and taxes INCLUDING shipping costs, that will be also taxed

    #2221 3 years ago

    shipping to germany 85,35$

    Quoted from frolic:

    Just so I'm clear, you went to the USPS website and got a comparable price?

    Yes. I was really surprised about this.
    To be honest, i never checked shipping rates in the usps website (why should i) so i might have made a fault.
    But i choosed shipping with insurance, over 4 Pounds wight and a box large enough to fit the book.

    Quoted from ausretrogamer:

    Any international backers received shipping confirmations? How bloody slow can these guys be - are they boxing and shipping 2 per day?!

    No
