Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:They should cancel Mando
Hope not, been waiting on a premium since June.

There are plenty available at other distros. I’ve seen ads on pinside, so it didn’t even take the effort of calling around.

Yeah just dealing with inertia. If this run doesn't pan out, that's the plan for sure.
Quoted from newovad:If someone is looking for a DP Premium, looks like my local distro got one in that wasn't spoken for, I guess. Sadly, they posted it at 11k here on Pinside even though their website says it is "Currently Out of Stock". Maybe if you just call the number on their website, they'll sell it to you for the price listed there instead of 11k.
Yeah...um, fuck your distributor.
Quoted from joecitizen:Hope not, been waiting on a premium since June.
The demand for mando seems to have relaxed a bit. I see a bunch on the market place.
They've made a lot of Mandos. I got my premium a while back NIB. I think part of the decision to run games has to do with simply having all the parts needed! They are making a lot of Mandos and it may be as simple as having the parts needed to make them and not so much for other games.

Prolly most expensive paperweight I have ever seen in my life.

Mando is a fun game. Unfortunately with a lot of GZ, DP, JP, and Halloween (yup I included that one) showing up at homes and in the marketplace, Mando definitely looses out.
Back on topic, paid for my JP pre last week, awaiting on shipping info.

Yes I've I've also noticed that you can find AIQ, Mando, TMNT, lz and Rush either here or at distis. In my search for Godzilla premium I even found a few distributors who have Godzilla pros available right now and are selling at MSRP. Seems like they are staring to catching up on a lot

Backlog will either be totally gone or almost gone by the end of the year.
Halfway there by the end of June. The only outlier is GZ, but I bet a lot of those will evaporate when the next cornerstone is announced.
People love the latest and greatest (excludes music pins).
I’ll try out the lower flipper power see if that’s better on the brick drop targets. Besides that problem it shoots like butter, one of the best Gomez layouts ever. I really like both orbit shots (happy I got the premium for the little loop ramp).
Cleared my lineup entirely in the last few weeks and this is the first time in the last few years that I’ve actually got nothing to play this weekend…but help is on the way
GZ prem, JP prem and DP prem all set to arrive in the next week
JP and DP are both May builds, GZ was april but got a little hung up in shipping
My understanding is that the May GZ prem builds are getting shipped as well

Quoted from iEatHands:Has anyone heard whether there will be another run of JP Prem in July from their Distributor?
Zach said on the last pinball podcast that run they just finished was supposed to replace July. They MIGHT make a few more in July but they likely made all the machines allocated for the July run
Zilla Pro just got delivered today!
Had one tiny chip on the rear base, maybe the size of a quarter, most likely someone didn't have the forklift properly aligned. Probably could have rejected it, but its so small, ill just fill it and touch it up.
Special thanks to Rob @ Mad Pinball for taking care of me every step of the way.
A month or so ago.
Quoted from RGman:Congrats! I’m curious, when did you place your order?
I get that shipping is a thing and distance matters…. but why do some people get their game the same week they in production. Then others getting it 2-3 weeks after production ?

Seems that some people have had their games drop shipped directly from Stern. Which sounds nice but I assume has cost implications (?) But seems way quicker.
My guy has them shipped to his store and then delivers them. I wasn’t given the option when I placed my order and this is my first NIB so I asked a million questions.
So I assume it’s up to the dealer/distributor who you’re dealing with. Just my guess

Ohhh ok that makes sense I know my distributor does the same. Thanks
Quoted from JackG:We haven't heard the 3rd quarter or 4th quarter solid builds yet, so everything after July is subject to change.
Anyone have any idea when the quarter three and quarter four builds will be announced or about when to expect stern to release this information?
Quoted from qbass187:Just heard from my dist that my JP Prem will be delivered to his shop this week!!
Still waiting for that news from my distributor
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Still waiting for that news from my distributor
I’d reach out so you’re not surprised.
That’s what I did. Some dealers
Wait until it’s in their store before they start making contact.
We know that JPs are going out to dealers so a call or email for a purchase this size isn’t out of the ordinary.
Quoted from shanksfornothin:Zach said on the last pinball podcast
Can someone provide a link to this podcast? I have looked everywhere and I can’t find this one. There are a ton of podcasts out there, but I don’t think I’m finding this particular one. Thanks!

He keeps a running thread for his podcast postings. His most recent Stern production update was in episode 100. He didn't have an update in this most recent episode.

So again, no or very little Godzilla premiums being produced.
Just THE Hottest game with so many that have had orders in since September. Nine (yes, NINE) months out and those just wanting a machine they ordered have no idea when they will get it.
Thank you, Stern!

While I’m not 9 months like you, I did order 7 months ago and was supposed to be a March order. As of last week my Distributor told me that they have no idea what timeframe to even give me.
While yes Stern has a huge problem putting these pins out, I also blame the people getting 2,3 even 4 pins and flipping them. I see the same names every few months. Sterns inability to maintain supply vs demand is making it worse but if people stopped dumping $2-3k premiums this would go away. You see if already with Deadpool and Jurassic Park is already coming down.
I look at it that Summer is here and it’s nice to be outside. I’ll just continue to wait my place in line and pay MSRP or even a little less.

My GZ Prem ships out tomorrow according to my distributor.

Certainly don’t blame your frustrations, but I’d also be asking why certain distributors are taking names/deposits for all these games they know they won’t be getting, but still telling people a certain date. Allocations have been getting shorted for a while now
Quoted from Cobray:So again, no or very little Godzilla premiums being produced.
I have heard the opposite and mine arrives Friday.
Stranger Things has moved to the archived section on the Stern site. I know none were scheduled for this year and it was rumored to be done anyway but I don’t think they did an official last call for STh or B66 so seems like we just wont know when a game is having its last run at the time of it.
Edit oh and Iron Maiden and Beatles
I’m hoping the fact DP hasn’t moved to archived with them means they have either managed to extend the licence or are hopeful they can. I think there’s still a lot of people waiting for DP. I’m surprised GOTG didn’t get moved to archived.
Ottawa, ON
Guardians still on the list of games being made but it is not on the line isn't?
I would like to pick one up if it is made but I do not think it is anymore.
I would find it hard to believe they would run GotG again with the current backlog and of course new games coming out but really who knows.

I was surprised that GOTG is still on Sterns current game list, but StarWars which keep showing up on production schedules is in the archive.

Only Star Wars comic art is archived. Star Wars realistic art or whatever it’s called is the one that will be run later in the year and is still in the ‘in production’ section

Which is a shame cus the comic art package is better looking IMO
