Still at Costco on Sunday.

You can't lift the playfield on Hercules either. It can still be serviced.

You guys get very panicky.

Listen to exactly what Gary said:

http://www.engadget.com/2013/01/08/stern-pinball-interview/

The Costco manager near me said they sold 9 of them at his location.

There are over 400 Costco stores.

If you want one and your neighborhood incomes don't not support the sale of $2500 toys, order it through your store manager.

I'm trying to buy the floor sample when they finally run out at one of the 3 local Costcos that have them around here.

It is serviceable.

Don't let all the Pinside squawkers imply that it isn't, especially when they have not even seen one in person or played it, LOL.

Better sound that 90% of all the pinball machines ever made.

Better lighting that 90% of all the pinball machines ever made.

Full size playfield

No vacuum displays to outgass.

Made in USA.

What's not real about it, exactly?

I've played a bunch of WOZ and so far, LCD does nothing at all to improve gameplay (I know, wait until Fall when the game is finished).

I'll take fun gameplay over a bunch of silly animations on a display anyday.

Here on Pinside, many owners do some level of service on their games.

Out in the real world, I do a great many service calls on other people's games. "I'm usually pretty good at fixing stuff. I replaced that fuse there, a cupla times. Dang thing keeps blowin!" - real customer quote.

Many of the greatest pinball games of all time do not have a DMD.

Goofy animations and video game modes worse than an Atari 2600 do not a great pinball game make.

I guess you have not played it.

It is totally fun and fast.

Austin Powers or Sharkey's Shootout are WAY worse games.

LMFAO

They are different TO cars , learn to read Child.

Just open the bomb bay doors and let the dust drop.

It's made of all regular Stern parts. Same flippers, pops, ramps, balls.

How is the quality of this pin a nightmare, exactly?

I know, right?

Stern sends a regional repair man to the house to fix it.

Once the warranty is over, you get to pay the repair man yourself.

It's just like a washing machine, but flashier.

All I can say is play it.

It's totally fun.

It's made of standard Stern parts. I will not have any problems fixing it, nor would I expect any other competent pin tech to have trouble with it.

LOL

Last month, Gary said they are selling just fine .

They are still making them.

People are still buying them.

They are still fun to play.

Call your local distributor.

They have them at some membership stores (Sam's) , and sometimes on Amazon.

It's not marketed to pinheads, it is marketed to housewives.

It had to be UPS ship-able.

It had to be light enough for a woman to put the legs and head on.

Housewives don't care about "resale value".

The Pin was sold by Amazon for $2500 delivered. That's a few hundred dollars less than a similar toy, the Super Chexx hockey dome.
