Quoted from drwicket:They are a joke of a company. All of their prices are insanely high. $18,999 for the LE Godzilla.
They are out of their minds. They offered me a discount of $2K for a GZ LE at the low price of $16K. I told them good luck and deleted the message.
Quoted from ChipDE:I ordered a JP premium in August 2021 (first NIB) and a GZ premium in January 2022 (second NIB ).
Hoping the JP premium run in April stays on course but understand the moving targets. My distributor isn't overly communicative. My question is: aside from the moving target issue: Would the distributor be able to tell someone whether their order (i.e., the JP Premium ordered from distributor in August of last year) will be filled as part of the next run. Or, would the distributor not have access to that info from Stern?
Thanks!
The dealer knows how many people are in front of you for a JP and they know how many games that Stern told them they were going to get “allocated”. The wildcard is if Stern will deliver all the units they allocated to the dealer or if the dealer will get fewer than their allocation. I would ask the dealer when he expects you will get the game based on the allocations Stern gave them, with the understanding that may change. The dealer can’t control that.
Quoted from CashMoney:My distributor went silent as well… Nick from buffalo pinball said GZ premiums have been pushed out to the end of 2022 or early 2023. Insane.
mine said GZ should be going on the line the next week or two.
Quoted from thekaiser82:I don’t see EHOH on the list…
In case you didn’t see this….Titles not listed do not have pre-order availability in 2022.
Stern may make them in 2022 to fill previous orders.
Quoted from KSP1138:For those having issues with very tight glass, try just loosening the screws on the metal side rails to see if it frees it up, and if that doesn't work loosen the bolts at the ends.
I loosened the 2 middle screws about 1/4 turn and it helped some. I would recommend trying this if your glass is really tight.
Quoted from Jerickso77:Any day now Godzilla Pro....
Got this yesterday fro PinballPro.

I just got this today also. I already got a game so I let them know they can cancel my order and give it to someone who is waiting.
Quoted from JSC:From the consumer perspective it defeats the purpose of what they are for if stern can push back a game for years and charge whatever they want. What do we get out of a deposit other then some priority at an undefined price and time frame. In my mind a deposit should lock in a price and commitment to deliver the game. Stern/distributor are getting and interest free loan.
I am not waiting on any games (thankfully) but I agree what Stern is doing is bad practice. It’s a money grab. All a deposit does in “Stern world” is reserve a place in line. A deposit for the rest of the world locks in a price.
