What happened to the Beatles rumor?
(Topic ID: 193149)
Great read, and thanks for confirming what I had speculated when GOTG was released: Stern had to bump it up in the release cycle to not lose Christmas sales to recover from the Trudeau fiasco. There is no other explanation for that pre-beta code that GOTG was released with.....
Indianapolis, IN
Quoted from Psw757:What happened to the Beatles rumor?
Beatles rumor is still alive and well! This post was just specific to the Iron Maiden and Deadpool rumors.
Quoted from AUKraut:. There is no other explanation for that pre-beta code that GOTG was released with.....
No excuse for stern releasing the game in the same state they release every game? Crappy and unfinished.

And about Wrath of Olympus production, you got some...rumors?
Quoted from colonel_caverne:And about Wrath of Olympus production, you got some...rumors?
Not sure on WOOLY, last I knew they weren't in production but that Riot Pinball had not written off having them produced at some point in the future.
I actually just messaged Riot Pinball yesterday to ask about the Alice in Wonderland sketch on their website:

GOTG initial release was *WAY* worse, even by Stern's latest standards.......
Quoted from pin2d:Not sure on WOOLY, last I knew they weren't in production but that Riot Pinball had not written off having them produced at some point in the future.
I actually just messaged Riot Pinball yesterday to ask about the Alice in Wonderland sketch on their website:
Yep, still waiting for a good news.
Didn’t know there were working on a new game
When I see games/themes announced or rumored (potc2, Alice cooper, Iron Maiden..) i’m curiously hoping a BBB remake to see the daylight, the only one I would consider to buy...and then excited day after day to be closer to the revealed day.
Quoted from jlm33:This drawing of Alice in Wonderland was done several years ago... even before WOOLY was "produced".
I knew this was correct, but I was curious to come up with an estimate of an actual date. The waybackmachine (archive.org) has this sketch on that page as far back as 2014:

Quoted from pin2d:Those were fillers that I thought I had updated, not sure what happened. Updated now.
The MSRP is $6,499 with a street price somewhere in the mid-$5,000 range. Contact Valley Dynamo to locate a distributor.
That is disappointing. They where at last year's TPF and had a $3500 price tag on them. $6k is overpriced, sorry.

Are you coming up for MGC?
If not, you should! Seems like a bunch of the reporters/ pod casters/ stearmers are missing this for some reason and honestly they should not.
MGC is possibly as big/bigger that TPF (space wise) this year and gonna be some exciting stuff happening.
I wish I could go, but have to travel for my "real" job next weekend. Have heard nothing but great things about MGC though. I can't believe Stern is going to have 30 Iron Maidens there!
Mondays are rapidly becoming my favorite day to check Pinside. These weekly updates are awesome and basically summarize all the news on Pinside perfectly. Thanks for creating this!

Interview with Robin, Founder of Pinside, regarding Pinside's Approach to Moderation
We ask:
What is Pinside’s overall approach to moderation of its members?
There has been some criticism that Pinside “over-moderates” individuals that are critical of manufacturers. How do you respond to that?
Some are calling for less moderation and more promotion of free speech. Others are calling for bans of certain members, which can be seen as the ultimate moderation. How do you find a balance of more vs. less moderation?
Is the moderation team on Pinside trained? Are they paid or is it strictly a volunteer position?
What is the biggest challenge you face with running Pinside?
There was an announcement a while back of a possible “purge”, where some members may be banned for a period of time. Did that happen, or are there plans for that to happen in the future?
Are there any plans to allow current banned members back onto Pinside?

mostly make it up as they go along, let the friends of the mods do as they please, crush the proles.
waiting for the crush...
