Quoted from Wanimal:I could be referring to that table that was made until last year with several runs, yes.
So you got a late production NIB Star Trek last year? Are you having playfield issues?

Quoted from Extraballz:Lord of the Rings was 2003. You two were saying....[quoted image]
An all-time great game. But I’m not sure I’d point to it as a high point of Stern component quality. Many playfields have slightly offset colors like an 80s comic book. Cabinet art has a blurry look from sparse dots used for photo-style art. Plastics have the same low-quality printer look. If Stern pulled any of that shit today Pinside would be up in arms.

Quoted from Galvez1978:Thanks!!! In Spain there are only one Distributor, and in rare occasion make a discount, i just buy a Jurassic Park Premium and the prices are very high in comparison with USA, the price of the Premium is 9075€ around 10700USD
I think prices for NIB Sterns are always higher in Europe and Australia than in the US. Nature of the beast.
I wonder if you could shop around at other EU distributors to find better NIB pricing? Of course shipping could kill the deal, and then you’d have to go through a remote distributor for service if needed.
Quoted from paul_8788:It is doubtful US distributors are allowed to sell into Spain. Not only voltage differences but sales agreements.
Almost certainly the case. You'd probably have to get a friend in the US to buy for you and arrange for shipping to Spain. And then you've got the import process (and taxes) to deal with. Might still be worth it financially but a lot of logistics to work out.
Quoted from JY64:He did say $10,700 US dollars
Right. So if a Premium Stateside would be $7,400 + tax (just a guess, haven't looked at it in a while), you'd have to figure out if the $3,300 difference would cover shipping to Europe, US sales tax (if any), import taxes/duties (I'm assuming these would suck), and whatever you have to pay your stateside buddy to buy and ship it for you, and leave enough leftover to make it all worthwhile given the likely delay and risk of game damage and other inevitable headaches in shipping something this large and valuable.
$3,300 is a significant difference, so it could still make sense, but it's not exactly free money.
Quoted from aeneas:Won't work - spike games check for 50/60hz. After converting the game to 220v, the american imported game will give an error on the display here in Europe.
Wow, so Spike games aren't convertible between voltages?

Quoted from dasvis:I foresee some sick individual offering a penis mod for the Icarus on the new Zep pin
Stern's saving that for the Vault Ed. Outlined in gold like LOTR LE.
