Quoted from CaptainNeo:

since when does lucas film start caring about quality? Maybe they should start caring about the quality of the movies they put out before anything else.

They probably also said; "who gives a shit aboot a topper, what are you 12?"

Quoted from mittens:

It will cost $1500 but we must buy the 3 pack.

Stern discount though...buy the 4th for $600

Guys Sunday is only a few days away...

Looks pretty lame, not a shock.

I'd say it's a little anti-climactic but it would be impossible not to be at this point.

Quoted from J_Striker:

Looking over what you get 400-500 is so ridiculous

Standard Stern topper

No the boat isn't gone yet. The yearly "may the 4th is coming up dude" outta ignite this dumpster fire again.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

I think I lost all interest in spending money on this topper for now.

How has it taken you this long?

Quoted from kermit24:

Such a slap in the face that they would try to bend people over like this.

Is this your first interaction with Stern or somthing?

#361 4 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

They have never tried to make an LE numbered topper at an insane price...

Just insane priced LE pinball machines for years and years that people buy here all the time for thousands of $ more and no benefit.

Wanna start a list of stuff "they never tried before" but then did to cash in?

#482 4 years ago

Well well....the natives are getting interested.

Quoted from fisherdaman:

They have patiently waited over 2...

Patiently? They've been pissing and moaning the whole time.

Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:

Could have put that money to finishing that basement room. Jmho

Maybe if you spent less on your basement you'd have more machines like him

#617 4 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

Does anyone else find it strange that Stern has done zero marketing on this thing?

Does anyone else think that some people, possibly even you, have been micro managing this thing the whole time and maybe looking too deep into it?

I miss these days

Quoted from kermit24:

Two years in the making this will go down as the best topper of ALL TIME!

#638 4 years ago
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

Prices are gonna go up, up, up and beyond thanks to those that pay these prices. 500 was too much. Maybe 100.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Please list everything pinball-related you've bought in the past five years so we can see if you are partly responsible for increasing prices in pinball.

He's a goddamn Premium + buyer, that's enough for me.
Get him up against the wall!

#640 4 years ago
Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

The next topper will be 750. Because it sells. Crazy.

It's like they are charging what people are payng for it...Crazy insane, insane, crazy?

#642 4 years ago
Quoted from rai:

Christ now we need to add mods to a topper?

Only a matter of time I suppose.

And we're gonna need more lighting up there to see the mods.

#647 4 years ago
Quoted from Darscot:

I am sure people can do a lot better than this for $750.

I'm sure a lot of people will act like it's going to happen, but I'm doubting it.

Quoted from aingide:

We're now far down the path to $1000 pinball toppers.

For sure. Look, I'm a pro buyer becasue I think the extra shit on the other models isn't worth it for me. Maybe if I had a slick topper for a G, still less than a Premium, I would do it? (not actually me of course)

Quoted from j_m_:

stern should be ashamed of themselves when they get beat out (badly) by a theatre add-on!

They really shouldn't. Stern is a pinball company & whomever made this is probably a pro plastics factory and this is their job.

Sterns job was to hand cut stickers to make R2 form molded panels?...I mean they should be ashamed of what they made no doubt, it doesn't need to be put up against anything else for validation (or invalidation?)

Quoted from Oneangrymo:

.... I feel so ripped off ...

Mo no offense but this most of this thread is telling you what a disaster this thing is.

Quoted from rs812:

Fortunately for me, I can actually form my own thoughts and own opinions. If I don’t have first hand experience, I thoughtfully refrain from spewing other’s negativity.
Oh yeah, I bought the SW topper and love it....

Congrats on the topper! Looks like you might have been spewing a little negativity before you got it though? Or maybe you realized your toothpaste dispenser wasn't all you thought it was?

Quoted from rs812:

If I was Disney I wouldn’t approve that POS topper either. I’ve seen Star Wars toothpaste dispensers with a better likeness of R2D2.

Quoted from rs812:

But, man...$500??

#1054 4 years ago
Quoted from kermit24:

So people are not allowed to change an opinion?

Don't strawman me bro.

#1058 4 years ago

Wow did I miss anything?

#1066 4 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

why the heck did they put the plaque on the back? This has to be designed by some intern at Stern.. damn you intern.

Quoted from TeeJayN:

Just curious - Your pic does not show the 4 bright white lights that shine up through the oval openings that light up R2D2. (see comparison pics) Was that just a camera glitch?[quoted image][quoted image]

Where they flashers? I think I remember hearing they were flashers?

I threw a Boba Fett helmet on my machine and called it a day.

Well it looks like shit but at least it's cheaper

Quoted from Munsters:

It’s an impossible mission to get the original topper I guess?

Well you've bumped every thread on the topic so I would assume so.
