Quoted from cb1234:Ordered 6 v4’s for my Stars machine and they arrived remarkably quick for coming from Australia to the US! And they are *fantastic* - I played many many games today, focusing on the drops, and got *zero* bricks. With the prior targets (which were the hooded ones) I was probably at 25% bricks. It dramatically improves the game - I was having a blast!
Thanks for the quick order fulfillment and the amazing drops!
great to hear, enjoy your game and drops
thanks for your support

They make a HUGE difference! The game is so much more satisfying to play when those get taken out consistently, in passing, dead on shot, whatever. Swinks drops are worth every penny. Next is to install them on my Lightning and see if that eliminates the constant bricking!

Update 31-st May 2023
Have got more in stock:
v3 - 89 x drops available
v4 - 81 x drops available
v3's
- exact replicas - ones on the left
v4's
- exact replicas but with the back of the target face filled - ones on the right
Both play the same, and v4's was just an experiment that people now love the idea of.
- targets are $10AUD each
- buy 10 of more and you get 5% discount off all targets purchased
Note: prices went up a little so I will absorb that but I won't be giving any more discounts above 5%, sorry
Cheers

I tested some Rit Dyemore Synthetic Dye today for another project and thought to drop in a target to see what would happen. 3 minutes in the 92 degree C dye water and we have a grape purple target. I know they is probably no market for purple targets but Rit Dyemore might be handy for some peoples projects.

Oh man, I would have put these in my Lightning for certain. Black or dark color drops would probably find buyers. That looks cool!
Just ordered a set for my Quicksilver pin! Very excited to have non-bricking targets. Hoping to find the target decals as well. Do you recommend clearcoating the targets prior to installation so they don't pick up dirt? Or are they good as-is?

I installed drops in Stars months ago and they are still looking clean.
I print out my own target decals, the Stern ones are pretty easy designs to replicate. I put good quality packing tape over the decals before cutting them out, so they are essentially laminated when I apply them.
I also disassemble, clean, seal, and reassemble drop target cages when replacing targets. They are always filthy so the cleaner I make them the cleaner the targets will remain, at least in theory. Besides, it’s been 40 years, everything can use a bath at this point!

Thought to bring an old thread back to life:
It is now 2024 and things have increased slightly per drop\ target (cost wise) but I am keeping the price as is but slightly reducing the discount price offered on bulk.
Classic Stern Tombstone Drop Targets
* 1 - 10 drops = $10 AUD Each
* 11 - 19 drops = $9.75 AUD Each including the first 10 targets (2.5% discount off everything)
* 20 - Up drops = $9.50 AUD Each including the first 19 targets (5% discount off everything)
2 versions:
- v3's are replicas of the original
- v4's are modded with the backs of the target filled in (but not noticeable performance or longevity improvement - was a concept that was trialed and people liked the idea of)
- no decals supplied - can purchase from Marco etc.
- all targets are white
Since the interest has trailed off a little I just purchase 75-100 at a time of one type and when they run out I order again.
Currently have 94 x Classic Stern Tombstone Drop Targets v3's in stock
