I know the chances of acquiring the hottest, most desirable pinball machine ever as cheap as Big Bang Bars have been sold for is very slim, but if you were lucky enough to get one of these marketing masterpieces and want to turn a quick buck, let me know.

Thanks!

Yeah, I think this thing's totally cool. Never heard of Supreme before this game was announced, but at the same time I had never heard of Hang Ten before I saw Bobby Brady wearing one.

I know, for the money I'm offering I'd be lucky to get a picture of one.

I see them at $65K and $75K, and sure someday they may be worth that, but not sure any have sold in that range yet. Time will tell.

Just call me cheap. But you can't blame me for trying.

I'm not looking to get this game to flip or make a profit.

Actually I am looking to flip it. With the buttons on the side of the cabinet.

They were $10k new and sold out in 6 seconds. I believe there are 200 of them?

It's a brand theme that is more desirable and popular than anything pinball has produced in years.

Beside being overly cool and built to impress, I have watched gameplay videos and I really like the rules, sounds and style of play, otherwise I would have no interest in acquiring one just for the collectability .

See all the dream theme threads on pinside if you have any doubt about that.

Thanks! That sounds like a most generous offer.

However that is something I have already considered and would also require a DMD and speaker panel.

And as far as I can tell game code is not open source as of yet. At least it doesn't come up on Stern's website.

Who cares! It's not about the future, it's about the here and now. Spiderman is old hat anyway.

You could get hit by a bus tomorrow, and then who's going to care if your pinball machines aren't worth as much as they were yesterday? Seems like a lot on this website only care about is money. People should relax and enjoy themselves and not worry themselves into an ulcer over such trivial things.

Plus I'm offering 20 grand, not 60 grand.

So now you know why pinball picks the usual themes they do.

It's the only ones they can get cheap enough and that we can afford.

And to think it was Levi's review of this game that pushed me over the top and made me want to own one. It's not like New York around here, we can't just go into the local K-mart and play one.

If I wanted a Spiderman, I'd just buy a Spiderman. There are many renditions of that game available. But the theme for a modern pinball game that is super lame and I wouldn't want to look at that thing every day. Supreme is the new standard of cool and that's what I am after.

I live in a 60 year old house and drive an almost 20 year old truck and cut corners where ever I can. I'm not up on modern fashion or style and wear T-shirts and jeans (Levis of course).

My old man taught me to bargain shop, and when you do go to buy something new, shop around and get the best deal possible, and that's what I am trying to do here.

No I guess you just don't read.

And arguing that I should want what others think I should want is just as silly.

Levi, you know it's great game with style so I think you understand.

I can't post in the regular Supreme thread but I just watched that unboxing video and all I can say is awesome, simply awesome.

$35,000 is a lot of clams, but that seems to be the going rate to get one at this time. Ouch! I'm going to have to do a little soul searching because i'll probably have to take out a reverse mortgage to make it happen. But maybe that's why I keep getting all those messages from banks telling me to do just that!

I know a lot of people here don't like the look, but I haven't seen anything like it that would dress up a mall store since No Fear came out.

It really screams modern though. And it is certainly growing on me.

If it would help expedite matters and you are looking for something else, I would be willing to have an NIB Iron Maiden LE shipped to your door and throw in another $5000 cash.

Please do not inquire about the IMLE unless you have a Supreme to trade as it is not mine and I am not going to deal with it or give out contact info otherwise.

Thanks!

I suppose since part of my motivation here is to impress the ladies, I could save a bundle by going another route.

Supreme (resized).jpg

Don't you mean the Supreme bumper sticker has a Camry attached to it?

No offense taken at all. I find humor in most of the other brands that are attached to pinball machines today.

I like it when pinball introduces me to something current that I am not overly familiar with, and choices in that department are slim to none today.

I see nothing wrong with trying to be hip with whats going an in modern culture today and never have. Unfortunately in this case, there is a price to be paid for that.

Coming from a bunch of guys that at one time paid extra to have a little alligator on their shirt. lol.

That's what I'm talking about!

New York City meets my hometown Fullerton Ca. That's almost too good to be true!

I wonder how much one of these would run me.

8972acdb4cba81a4f510b2ba65e0791a (resized).jpg

Wrong thread.

The joke is all the old farts on this board begging for themes that haven't been relevant in 30 or 40 years. And the pinball manufacturers making them.

Now that's some funny shit there!

All they are is dust in the wind-epic!

Yeah, they should have modeled their business plan after No Fears.

I already got pictures of it.

What it is is growing up in So Cal we heard the whole world thought we were cool. Starting trends everywhere. We didn't take much stock in it, we just kept on doing it. But now, the only cool thing is which place sells the best fish tacos, and how long will they be there.

Then along comes Supreme! A brand from New York City? At first I was skeptical., but as open minded as I like to be I went hmmmm.. let's check this out...

And the only real thing wrong with it besides the inability to take coins is the terrible theme and art package.

Get rid of those shortcomings and add a cool current theme like Supreme and it's no wonder the cheapest they are changing hands for in the current market is $35k.

Idiocracy with pinball themes and the people that ask for them existed long before the announcement of the Supreme game. In fact pinside thrives on it. If you want to find cool in modern culture, this generally isn't the place for it.

Both seem to be invading the pinside neighborhood, much to many of the elderly residents dismay.

Funny thing is if I had offered up $20K for a Big Bang Bar or even HEP restored Medieval Madness or Cactus Canyon, they would probably be coming out of the woodwork to sell me a game.

No, Supreme owners obviously cherish their games much more than that as I haven't even got one bite. And I doubt we will ever see a vault edition of this one.

Obviously the community knew about it if it sold out in 6 seconds.

Lucky mofos were in position to buy them.

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/would-buying-a-supreme-pinball-help-me-hook-up-with-younger-women

Sold thru Supreme at $10k. To get one it was kind of like mining bitcoin.

Perhaps they are one in the same.

d4cfcf2610a6140de685f51c50454f27 (resized).jpg

Cheaply made dolls for little girls.

Yeah, like I'd be into collecting that shit.

Well Supreme has been around since 1994, so it isn't exactly new.

But relatively speaking much newer than most of the latest pinball themes.

Let those that paid over retail for an Iron Maiden LE or Ghostbusters LE, be the first to throw stones.

But what does that have anything to do with the price of tea in China?

I told ya, Beanie Babies mean nothing to me and never have. I don't buy things via speculation or long term investment. I've said it before, it's about the here and now. If I buy a brand new TV for $1500, I know damn well it will be worthless in 5 years.

I'm just looking to improve my collection with something stylish and modern without overly paying. And in 5 years, I don't care if it's "out of style" like most modern pinball themes are now. It will probably be gone by then anyway.

When I was a kid, we paid more to have 2 feet on our shirts via "Hang Ten". We didn't have to, it's just something we did. But at the same time didn't waste money away buying crap like "Beanie babies" because it was something we could actually use and wear on a daily basis.

When I was a teenager it was the same story with OP- Ocean Pacific. They cost a little more than average clothes, but again they were stylish and a fad that was current. And then there was a steady stream of girls knocking on my door. You can't put a price on that!

I never bought into that Members Only or Alligator emblem shirts though because the people I saw wearing them didn't look cool at all.

But now we have come full circle with Supreme.

Some things never go out of style.

Almost as long as they have been around. Limited runs, no advertising, underground culture picking up on it, famous hip hop stars wearing it.

It's gotten steadily bigger with no end in sight.

Since I set my Sega Genesis back up with my new flat screen, we aren't playing much pinball in the house anyway. It's all about Arnold Palmer golf and Mario Andretti Racing now.

So I'm looking at all the games left in there and I thought if I got rid of them all (Except Stars which is in it's own corner and Big Daddy in another room) and replaced them with a Supreme, it would really clean up the place and give it the fresh, modern look I've been looking for.

So to sweeten the offer I am putting up for trade my-

TNA
Dirty Harry- Collector quality sample game
Skateball-high end restoration with NOS Bally playfield
Eartshaker- nice conditon with sinking institute
Getaway- very nice with slight cabinet fade

All those for one Supreme. Well worth more than my original offer. Will not separate otherwise, so don't ask. No Supreme, they all stay.

I shot a 3 under on the Japan course last night, but my buddy Bob got a 5 under. I'm a little rusty..

Once we get the hang of it again, it's time to crank up the difficulty level.

We played the crap out of this game back in the 90s. And am again...

84c87fcbae625fb92a293a308ccdc6e5474f8fb4 (resized).jpg

If that trade were to happen, I could probably even go bigger on the TV, but that is a nice new 55 inch Sony XBR. It might fit in the garage...

You think I'm joking?

I've already had all the antiques you have in your collection except the Speakeasy and really aren't looking to revisit any of those.

Crazier than that is I have myself convinced too. I see how this brand becomes so addicting. I had vision last night of the coolest pinball machine ever sitting by itself in the pole position in my living room.

You'd be surprised man! 56 is only a number and I can still run circles around these cell phone babies.

See, I was thinking it would look good where Skateball is to the right of TNA, and I would move Skateball somewhere else.

Now I'm thinking it would look good there all by itself. Supreme deserves it's own environment.

Plus everybody else in the neighborhood has a TNA. Noone has a Supreme.

40708c760254dc841e2bb90fa02d5e471d8fa148 (resized).jpg

Yeah there are a lot of those, but are they selling for that? I doubt it.

I've lost the patience from long games, and I think between Stars, Supreme, and Big Daddy, it would give me a good 1-2-3 in house quick pinball fix whenever I want it. If no Supreme comes my way, the others can stay because they are pretty cool.

It's a starting point and if you bothered to read, you would see I have offered up more than that in trade.

Sure, but first how about we check to see completed sales of all the Supremes that have sold thru pinside so we can get a good idea what they are actually selling for. You don't expect me to go by e-bay do you? I know they sold for $10k new. That is probably in the neighborhood of $25k I have offered up in trade.

Try finding sold listings on ebay. There is a list but they all link to some other items.

LOL. I got a list a mile long of people that want that one including the last owner. It stays. (that's rotordave)

You can have Struggle Buggies. I like seeing your smiling face early in the AM anyway. I got it all tits now. Ill give you a deal.

No that was a Judge Dredd. If there's one thing about JT's designs is there is never enough flipper gap. DH is a super nice sample game. No Supreme, I keep that one. I need some attitude around here.

Struggle Buggies-1953.

Oldest game I've got now. I finally got all seven bumpers in sequence a couple weeks ago. It wasn't easy!

But yeah, it's looking a little out of place in that modern row there and I need a little more space still. You don't get the pingulp though.
DSCN5894 (resized).JPG

It will be all the easier for you to back your van in and load it up! Long drive though, I don't envy you.

No, Cyclone turned into a Flash Gordon that a buddy has now.

Gone are the early days of collecting and "I'll never let any of them go!"... long gone

What resonates the most with me about this brand and pinball theme, is it reminds me of simpler times.

Unknown (resized).jpg

Here's the remainder of those games.

If this doesn't happen, I may take some of your advice and seek out a Spiderman home edition and send it off to Neo to get the full treatment.

However, if that's what happens I would be just as happy if he paints it blue instead of red and says "BEER" instead of Supreme. Like that can up there.

DSCN5895 (resized).JPG

Looks slick sitting there all by itself like that doesn't it?

I've never used instagram, can you post a link?

9/10 condition because it's yellowing. lol

Big money yes, but I won't have to pay any property tax on it.

Yeah, I'm still single so anything goes!

I'm going to attach my truck to a Supreme bumper sticker too, so they will follow me to my Supreme bachelor pad.

Kitchen too! It's all part of the $212,000 overall plan.

I've done a bit of remodeling already pretty much by myself. Both bathrooms, new windows, etc. But the Kitchen is still original 1959 all the way down to the yellow tile.

Hardest part about a remodel is picking things out. I'm not sure I'd ever like to spend so many hours looking at and getting educated on toilets again. But in the end the Kohler Wellworth won out.

It really was especially when the competitor's was able to flush 24 golf balls at one time.

This looks like a Supreme Wellworth right here. The inspiration never ends!

maxresdefault (resized).jpg

Looks like somebody else is already doing them.

Second job delivering newspapers. Lots of newspapers,

insta_delivery_sq-a155e6948a70f4130b25a0055317de6f264c42c6-s300-c85 (resized).jpg

Not only will I pay $20,000, I will also throw in all the Beanie Babies I own!

So what if I own none of those, $20,000 should still be enough to start your own collection.

So, there is one Supreme that was said to have exchanged hands for $35,000. But none of those that are asking up to $80,000 are willing to accept what I believe is the next best offer.

So far my attempt to pry one away has failed miserably.

I guess what we have here is maybe the most valuable and collectible pinball machine of all time, and perhaps a cheap bastard like me getting one isn't meant to be.

Thanks LTG!

If it doesn't happen, I won't be overly disappointed. As the youngest brother in my family I learned to make do with hand me downs and found out you don't always quite get what you want.

That Kohler I bought works really well. The only problem I see is they do not have the traditional float ball like they used to. The new style they all seem to use now occasional gets stuck open due to a build up of calcium and other mineral deposits.

fluidmaster-fill-valves-400arp25-64_1000 (resized).jpg

That's about what it's coming to.

As I am finding out Supreme pinball machine owners are the most proud and enthusiastic pinball machine collectors I have ever come across. And they don't want to part with their treasures.

You do have a point. But I'll use my own words.

They are not just the most proud and enthusiastic collectors of any pinball machine I have come across, but also the most proud and enthusiastic collectors of any brand or theme I have come across.

Price drops!

ebay.com link: Supreme Stern Pinball Machine IN HAND

ebay.com link: Supreme x Stern Pinball Machine Unopened In Box Ready To Ship

They're getting closer, so it's only a matter of time.

Monday price drop!

Sure but one of these guys is bound to figure out how many smaller Supreme accessories, including new items and things he can take with him and show off in public, one Supreme pinball machine can buy.

That's the plan! If there's one thing I am, it's I'm a patient man.

I bet if each of us donated $20,000 to the cause that would at least get us halfway to our goal.

I had a chance to watch that video that Erak posted in it's entirety today, and they made a few good points. Not just Supreme, but in 15-20 years who is going to buy all the new games that are flooding the market today, and where will there be a place to put them?

And certainly in most cases they won't be able to get anywhere what they cost new as owners tire of them, the games get passe, and any new blood is more interested in cultural themes they can relate to.

Certainly they are not getting thrown out or parted out like they used to leaving only a limited supply of each title. And warehouse and storage unit hoarding seems to becoming more and more a thing of the past.

We are already seeing the marketplace flooded with recent titles being sold secondhand and that is a trend that doesn't look to be ending anytime soon.

Sure was more honest and informative than any of the other pinball podcasts I've caught snippets of.

One of the guys said he's been into pinball since the mid 2000s though, so he may have a lot more insite than a large percentage here.

Try half a century and then look at the way things are now.

I'm really surprised pinside hasn't stepped up yet. There are usually so generous. It's not like we've got some minor problem like a flooded basement or anything.
