Regardless of what Tim Sexton puts out for code... I think we can all be glad Dwight isn't on this.

Edit: all of you who are down voting this can't possibly be giving him a pass for him completely failing at GB...come on!

Lol lots of Dwight apologists in here... Sorry, he laid an egg on GB...and Stern needs to get their ass in gear and rectify it as they promised.

Honestly, there are few games I wouldn't mind seeing reskins of...provided these games would not replace all-new games in the production cycle. GOT is one of them. Iron Maiden is another, as well as Jersey Jack's Dialed In. I love the gameplay of those games, but the theme doesn't really pull me in.

Ever hear of Dialed in?

You know what, my eyes completely misread what the quoted poster said. I missed the "licensed" after "unlicensed"...more caffeine needed for me today, my bad!

Over/Under on JJP hitting the 60 day ship deadline on Wonka?

Same as the last couple Pro/Prem/LE releases.

I heard Stern was really nervous on how this one would sell. I am thinking it is going to sell decently for them, at least to the enthusiast crowd. I'd love to know the breakdown of percentage sales to operators versus home buyers.

Not going to lie, this makes Munsters Pro kind of look like a Gottlieb 80B by comparison.

Please don't do this. Then the distributor gets burned by Stern and everyone loses. Take it to PM!

I heard 26 months.

I am not a fan of playfield protectors, but I think I would cut a piece of .020" PET-G for the clear top playfield if I bought a premium. It would be somewhat easy to swap that piece out when it eventually gets dirty, as opposed to polishing or replacing the WPT-esque clear playfield.

I think you are making a bit of a mountain out of a molehill. The original problem is not anywhere near as widespread is Pinside would make you think, and Stern has started to release schematics for their prior node boards.

No worries... I wasn't trying to slam you, but I just wanted to make sure that people aren't thinking the node boards are so fragile that they are made of glass or something.

No, no, No, No, no, no and No. I think.

I think they do a good job of giving people options. Some people are drawn to toys and complicated layouts, so you have the Premium/LE. Some of the pro games actually shoot much better than their Premium counterparts (GOT, GB)...so flow fanatics are actually better off with the cheaper games. Stern obviously has their shit together and is firing on all 8 cylinders...their business model is literally printing them money right now. I am finding it really hard to bitch right now, when you see what has been happening over at Stern the last 12-24 months. We are not that far removed from the era of World Poker Tour and 24.

Can't they both be fun?

Nobody really knows what is under the armor... But a 110 lb bean pole twerp isn't exactly menacing. Apologies to any bean pole twerps reading this thread.

I'm not really seeing the huge change you are describing. The themes you mentioned above are already established by their creator. This Black Knight theme is not shackled down by the content creator like the licensed themes you are citing.

This does seem to look a lot like the black knight I keep seeing associated with Fortnite when I do Google image searches. Deadflip should have no problem getting a dead ringer of a costume for this one.

I think the timeline of this launch mainly is due to Stern having a pretty loaded calendar of releases this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see the next cornerstone drop the last week of June or the first week of July. We know there is an Elvira on deck, and probably at least Jurassic World, Superman 78 and a music pin in the mix right now as well.

I thow my balls in the vibratory polisher with my ammo cases for a few hours and they come out looking like new. A polished set of balls is a beautiful thing.

Protip: Not everybody believes in the same special imaginary friends as you.

Your evangelism is offensive to many other religions...if you are offended, use the ignore button. Save the preaching for church.

Deadflip is streaming the new BK tonight at 6 central.

I think for me, this will be one to wait and see where the code winds up. Deadpool felt the same way to me in the beginning, and its really turning the corner now. The drains seem to be pretty brutal and frequent. The upper PF on the LE seems like you'll have a lot of time spent watching the ball ride the bottom rail and not be able to do anything about it with the flipper. The animations look really good though.

I'm really thinking Stern purposely releases games with crappy code in order to have two or more sales windows with each game. "Gotta have it" people and ops get it right out of the gate. Then when sales die down a bit, they release new code to drive sales interest again.

ACNC has some pretty dark GI also.

36 months or so.

While you get pissy about my answer, we still do not have a Star Wars topper...and it has been 22 months.

Played the pro at Pinfest. I did not really find this game to be as brutal as everyone was making it out to be. I didn't drain off the center target at all after several hits. I had a decent length game the first go-round. I enjoyed it, but didn't feel I needed to run out and buy one. This is actually a good sign for me though, as I hated Iron Maiden and GOTG when I played them at first, but both really grew on me over time.

You should have played the Victory at Pinfest. You could go grab a hot dog and come back before the ball came back to the flippers.

I'm with you on TAF... It's okay, but not worth the money it brings.

Physical enhancement? They giving it a boob job?

Are you the official BKSOR gatekeeper?

Found the physical enhancement!

I think something like this will be possible once the machines have the ability to go online. All Spike 2 games will be able to go online once it is rolled out.

I still enjoy playing the pro. Not sure if it would last at home in a lineup, but I've missed it since it rotated out of the local places I know of. Operator does not share where he puts is pins if I call and ask where one went next...dumb, I know.
