looking for spare sparky to custom paint.

Check with Terry at pinball life

#3 9 years ago

good luck - when I tried, they weren't selling

#4 9 years ago

I haven't been able to find one either. I would place good money on the fact that Stern is hoarding them for their DD edition games...which is a real shame, because frankly, all the ones I've seen pictures of from those kinda look like crap IMO...very disappointing.

Terry apparently can't get them anymore. Hard to say if that's at temp thing or more permanent. They've never bean "easy" to find, but I guess it's really difficult now.

Guess I'll have to go to my distrib and see if he can order one....without taking a huge markup. Hope all of Stern's DD Random Premiums sit unsold in distro warehouses. =P

Kind of like the Chinese tera cotta warriors, but not as cool.

#13 9 years ago

I like how the sparky in the middle of the front row is looking at the camera kinda like. What u looking at punk?

#14 9 years ago

Sparky is the coolest of cool pinball toys without a doubt.

Hopefully some make their way down to Australia one of these days.

#15 9 years ago

There was one up on PBL again last night...225.. Guess Terry wanted to make some easy money and someone obliged him, lol. It's gone now.

#17 9 years ago

Can't believe Stern doesn't make more of these, the market is there and people WANT them. I thought Stern was in the pinball business to make money.

I've said it before, but Stern should make a cheaper bobble head version and sell on their web store. I'd love a Sparky for my desk at work. Such a great original character.

Cheers!
Adam.
