Quoted from pinballaddicted:

Any speculation on designer, coder or artist?

Pretty sure it was posted a while back Lonnie is on code.

Quoted from ASOA:

Christopher franchi is on art.

Really? Back to back titles with Munsters and Beatles? Has this been confirmed?

#135 5 years ago
Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Designer: Gomez (mostly), Kaminkow (next to nothing)
Artist: Franchi
Coder: ???
And yes that's all more or less confirmed.
Edit: 666 Forum posts!!! - MUHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hasn’t it been confirmed Lonnie is on code? It’s been posted a few times by the usual reliable sources here on pinside.

#138 5 years ago

mnpinball is more often than not on the money when it comes to credible info.

#140 5 years ago
Quoted from TheLaw:

Also posted by many reliable sources Lonnie was shitcanned long ago so whom knows.

Gomez seemed to credit/praise Lonnie for the huge Aerosmith update that recently dropped. As well as on Mike (I think) crediting Lonnie for Guardians on one of the most recent GOTG deadflip streams, so indeed who knows?

According to mnpinball its a reskin of the classic Stern - Seawtch.

Quoted from cooked71:

I think Kapow had a lot to do with the way B66 was launched, especially when you hear the way Kaminkow talks. If Beetles is Kapow also (im not sure it is, I think he just helped get the licence) then i'm guessing it will be the same story.

Kaminkow said on a recent podcast (I forget which one now) that he helped Stern secure a licence which will be one of their cornerstone titles and the other will be the next Kapow title.

I had taken his comment that Munsters might be the one he helped with and Beatles was the Kapow. If it’s nots Munsters I would love to know what the second licence is.

Quoted from JodyG:

Considering BM66 SLE owners still do not have their custom callouts 2 years later, when it was a selling feature of the machine...i'd venture anyone who buys another SLE priced machine from them is an absolute fool.

I feel think Stern is overestimating the market for a Beatles machine, as well as how much someone in the non-pinball world is willing to pay for one. They may sell a few SLE or higher priced versions, but I do not think they will sell out. I think this title has a better chance of turning into a WWE part II than it does turning into Iron Maiden or Metallica with respect to sales.

I’m not a SLE owner but I am an LE owner and I’m the first to admit the launch of the game and the first 12 months where a f’in disaster! To the point I could have easily washed my hands of Stern.

But now Lyman has spent the last 12 months pumping out code, I am genuinely a very happy LE owner and the games probably my favourite in my collection.

Lyman single handily saved Sterns plans for the SLE model and their hopes of releasing another SLE, without him Sterns SLE model would be DOA!

Quoted from gliebig:

Would've been cool if the record had three spinning discs.

Anyone know if this is the same mech from X-Men Prem/LE?

#1495 5 years ago
Quoted from rai:

this is the best I could come up with

[quoted image]

The “don’t cry Lyman saved the day” genuinely cracked me up

#1498 5 years ago
Quoted from jgentry:

Actually stern makes the exact same amount for each Beatles pin no matter the trim level. It's the distros that get to cash in for once.

Have you heard that from Stern or a distro jgentry ?

#1880 5 years ago

Anyone got any idea if the spinning disc in Beatles is the same mech as in X-Men?

#1889 5 years ago
Quoted from DS_Nadine:

Need replacement parts?

Just curious as the magnet in X-Men was pretty cool, might add some nice gameplay to this pin.

#2333 5 years ago
Quoted from Frippertron:

I'm not mad at all, just being sarcastic.

It was pretty obvious you where being tongue in cheek

But $100,000 for Everest? I gotto ask is that figure real? I have been quoted about £15/20k ($20/25k usd) and it’s seriously on my bucket list but at $100k I’ll be walking just to get there

#2694 5 years ago
Quoted from Whysnow:

Yeah, I see a PRO with over 1600 games made (a lot for most Sterns) but at LE price point.
I think 6500 is a likely drop point on the secondary market IF they really sell all 1600 golds. I personally still think there is a distinct possibility that they will only build 700 golds and the second run does not happen or happens in a small number to just meet distributor demand.

People said the same about KaPows first title BM66 upon its reveal and release, reality is you can’t pick up an LE or SLE now for less than the cost of it NIB, in most cases LEs and SLEs that have been put up for sale have sold for more than there original NIB cost.

No way Beatles drops much if at all, unless people hate it which doesn’t appear to be the case now people are playing one.

#2745 5 years ago

Question for anyone who has actually played Beatles.

Does the spinning record mech appear to be the same mech as in Xmen? No way I’m going to get to play one before buying but I’m pretty tempted by this.

#2896 5 years ago
Quoted from vid1900:

I got these.
I'll put red LEDs in their eyes and wire them to the pop bumpers. [quoted image]

There’s people that would do this and sell it as a mod for $100+, that’s the worrying thing.

#2924 5 years ago
Quoted from Psw757:

Doesn’t the machine need to sit a little lower to play flatter more like a machine from that era?
If that is what’s happening here, what’s the problem with this?
I always thought TNA looks odd next to other modern machines.

I kind of thought that was the whole idea as well.

Gives it that old school look sitting a little lower and flatter, looks great imo!

#2938 5 years ago

Much better promo compared to the first promo video released. Disc looks cool and those orbit shots and loops look Steve Richie smooth!

Also more than helps to make a game look good by putting Keith in front of the flippers.
