Quoted from Moortus:Disney built a 14 acre Star Wars theme park in less time than this topper has been rumored to be coming. *sigh*
Funny, I’m expecting one hell of topper! Lol

As I mostly was as well. I hope this topper will feel worth the money they are asking for it. Sadly, it may not feel like it will be to me.

I hear ya...I just want them to friggin release anything already so I can decide to buy or not and move on. Asking too much I guess aren’t I?
I think I lost all interest in spending money on this topper for now. I will wait to see one in person to decide.

How has it taken you this long?
Quoted from Psw757:so I can decide to buy or not and move on
I know there is a Yoda quote based on this partial sentence, especially since buy and try rhyme. But because "Stern" nothing makes sense.
Buy not. There is no topper.
Rumor or rumor not. There is no topper.
Wish or wish not. There is no buy.
Sigh. Luckily I have a lowish ceiling in my basement, so a topper is likely not in the cards.
As things are going, Jar Jar Binks will become a well accepted hero of the galaxy before this topper gets released.
Quoted from Apollyon:Not even making this up. Cut and pasted from the past 6 months. Lather, rinse, repeat.

June was the same quote.... are we going for 8 times a charm on Tuesdays stern of the union
Quoted from yzfguy:Just sold my game..... Ahhhhh who cares about the topper ?!
probably the guy who bought your game
I find modder toppers superior to those that are available by the original builder company. Modders are pinball enthusiasts, companies...are for the $$$$.
Quoted from dnapac:I find modder toppers superior to those that are available by the original builder company. Modders are pinball enthusiasts, companies...are for the $$$$.
I almost agree 100%. The Stern GOT topper was pretty badass. Now that the game is gone, I have no games with factory toppers.
The Star Wars topper is still in production development and we’ll make a formal announcement once it’s available for purchase.
Quoted from kermit24:What a slap in the face!!! Munsters clock is out.[quoted image]
Yeah really....if they aren’t going to come through and make the topper they should at least give us the courtesy of telling us already.
Friggin BS already!
Quoted from pudealee:There's a video of that topper in action somewhere on the interwebs.
Prove it. Haha
Quoted from Toppers:Stern just posted a picture on their Facebook page and the Star Wars topper was on top of a machine there not sure if there’s a significance there. Thought I’d share.[quoted image][quoted image]
I believe that picture is of the 'pinball arcade' at the factory. If so, it has been there for some time.
IMG_20190311_143906 (resized).jpgThey can get complete new games including a home edition and vault edition with brand new comic art playfields with new translites approved but a spinning R2D2 head on a nondescript base forget about it......
Quoted from tbanthony:It’s kind of shocking no one came out with a SW topper.
Tilt topper did but if I recall someone forced them to stop selling.
I knew that topper video existed. I couldn't had found it if I wanted to. Hopefully there will be more to it that what is shown there.

Agreed, for $500 better at least get some “whhoos” and whistles and a better light show than that.
I believe we won’t see a topper from STERN for StarWars .... never ever
Seems that this stupid topper need more time as the whole StarWars pinball project.

i had hope with vault version announcement but...
Quoted from Celofane:i had hope with vault version announcement but...
Holy shit, some real news in the SOTU address that just came out...

Quoted from Yoko2una:"The Star Wars topper is currently in production and we’ll make a formal announcement once it’s available for purchase after production is completed
I hope the production cycle is not too long and they are available soon.
Quoted from waldo34:My bet is Lucas Film / Disney are not approving it. Probably want more money.
It’s been approved and in production finally.
Quoted from marksf123:I hope the production cycle is not too long and they are available soon.
Don’t wish for that cause you’ll get the Munsters topper quality control again.
Quoted from JimB:Don’t wish for that cause you’ll get the Munsters topper quality control again.
What issues are those having?
Came out 3 months ago and everyone sent all of them back due to multiple issues. Someone got a new one last week and it still didn’t work as designed.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:What issues are those having?
the Munsters topper was an absolute nightmare. Didn’t work, 2nd came in pieces(internally) took 3 more months to get a working one
ouch. Sorry to hear of problems with the Munsters toppers. Looks like one of the top 5 toppers from Stern.

Your the man always Mike. But WOW Stern is goofy shooting for $775 for That topper!!!! Even if it made you sandwiches there is No way its worth that kind of loot! Odd direction they took with this one in my opinion.
I was at a maybe with $500. At $750, count my ass out.
Quoted from GAP:limited run of 500 with a plaque.
