Quoted from JStoltz:Checking in in case it helps anyone else, I received a Mandalorian Premium today, born last Friday (Jan 21).
Nice! It is an awesome game... tough but I like it!

Quoted from gambit3113:Confirmed that they must have pushed a whole bunch of Deadpool Premiums down the line this past week. I didn’t get on the list for the originally scheduled 12/21 run until late Sep/early Oct and got the call after Christmas that it was pushed to July/Aug. But it shipped out yesterday and is on the way now. Rush buyers’ misfortune is DP buyers’ fortune, I guess. Given the constant supply line delays these days, I bet those delayed builds get random weeks to catch up like this moving forward. Don’t lose faith.
I hope some of these DP premiums make it to Australia. We have had our name down for one since last March.
Quoted from Ceemunkey:Would be nice to have some sort (or any sort) of indication wouldn't it? I don't think much communication is getting through to the distributors here.
In all fairness I have not reached out to our distro yet either. If it was not for Pinside I would not even know Stern made some premiums.

Quoted from Fsdre:Do you guys think April could be the last run of JP pro and premiums?
My opinion.
The game is a big seller, it came out in 2019. Stern will make more as long as there is demand.
Reason.
Deadpool came out in 2018 and they are still making them.
Star Wars came out in 2017 and Stern have planned to make more.
Stern made Metallica for years after release.
Stern made ACDC for years after release.
Quoted from Ceemunkey:Just got word from my (awesome) distro here in Sydney that my DP premium is being loaded into a container and will be here mid-May or thereabouts.
Doesn't seem to tally with any schedule I've seen, but damn I ain't complaining!
Congrats! Ours is coming too. We got the call yesterday.
If I was a betting man, I would bet they waited until they could fill a container before sending the next shipment. The games were made in January sometime I believe.

Quoted from Saltimbanco:Can someone share the link to the next Stern thread? I must have drained the topic by mistake..
There you go!

Quoted from TheClownpuncher:Playfield and other issues aside, they sure seem to be building a lot of Rush machines for it to be considered a "turd"
No Pinball machine is a "turd". Only people are "turds"
There is no such thing as a shit pinball machine, only shit people.
Quoted from bigguybbr:Thunderturds?
Ha ha... That game really does test my opinion on pinball machines but proves me correct with the people part.

Quoted from ThePlumber:Incorrect sir! Look at GNR, JJP
We have a Gunners. and love it.. No game is a turd, only people are turds.

Rumours are Brian Eddy..

Quoted from Thunderbird:Don’t know where people are getting their facts about Mando sales, but according to my distributor, he can’t get enough to meet even half the demand for SWs Mando. Hottest game out there, next to GZ. With season 3 just being announced, demand for Mando will be even higher. Such a great shooter. One of Brian Eddie’s best ever, along with exciting code by Dwight. Wait till the topper finally releases for even more fun.
Not sure who your distro is? You can get Mando pro this month and Mando premium next month. What Distro are you talking to?

Quoted from PinMonk:Do we know for sure there ARE pros for Bond? If it's a kapow release prem is the starting level.
No one really knows at the moment. Only Stern.
Will be interesting to see what is coming.
Quoted from mbl1116:FlipNOut is taking a list for Pros and Premiums so the expectation would be that this is a typical cornerstone release
Good info, Thanks!
No info from Stern apart from Insider saying a few LEs will be available online on the day of release.

Quoted from mbl1116:The buzz surrounding this game feels like it’s faded into almost nothing with how long its taken
We are still keen and looking forward to flipping one soon!
Quoted from Thunderbird:Which model of Bond did you end up getting?
LE. I like Gomez design and Lonnie code. So far game looks pretty good.
Hopefully games start shipping soon.
Quoted from Thunderbird:I’m with you on Bond LE. Awesome looking/playing game. Code will get there, George will see to that and so will Lonnie. Both have had lots of experience to learn from and with Mike on rules, should be epic. 6 major toys on that game, takes a top prize, imo. (Seven or eight if we count the drops and simulated underwater jet pop/scoop.) Game is loaded.
Congrats on your LE! Game is expensive in Australia so we sold our MandoLE to fund Bond.
I am on this thread so I can see when the games start shipping, hopefully soon. The early code does not bother me, I enjoy watching the code develop. I can see why coin droppers want finished code.
Quoted from Thunderbird:Same with me, enjoy code progression. Stern’s team won’t let us down, at least that’s what I’m hoping. How much in Australia?

Quoted from 1963BSARGS:Careful, the Bond apologists will appear and berate you with scathing insults like “cry baby in his little cot”.
As a Bond LE owner, I can unequivocally state it is a turd. It is loaded with ball traps and there are not enough coders at Stern to save it. The only reasons I can fathom as to why they would build more are (a) contractual minimum to be built, or (b) too many parts left.
On a side note: who the hell puts a baby in a cot?
No pinball machine is a turd. Only people are turds. A pinball machine is just a toy.
Sell the game and move on. Sell it to someone that may like and appreciate it.
Quoted from PinMonk:Thunderbirds and Cosmic Carnival would like a word with you.
(Likely Spinal Tap, too...)
Ha ha! I may have to re think for those games!
Quoted from gandamack:OK Dad
A good dad would have also taught you that shit people say shit things. Best to stay away from these people. Appreciate life and what you have.

Quoted from seenev:I honestly think my distributor just pretended to take my GZ order last year. I've heard nothing. I don't even want it anymore but I haven't bothered canceling because the distributor never communicates anything anyways.
Did you pay a deposit?

Stern is moving to their new factory!
Ha ha.. I have no idea what the Huge announcement is. I am just making shit up!
Quoted from PinMonk:I feel like it was supposed to be in late summer/early fall, but can't remember where I read that...
Thanks!
Quoted from chad:Initially was to happen this past January.
Pinball Expo 2023 site mentions the tour in the New facility.
Thanks!
Quoted from Grantman:Their lease starts in October.
Probably why Stern are making as many games as they can now.. To remove the backlog and build inventory
Quoted from JodyG:George is already on the record as saying their typical factory move is production in the old building up to Friday night and games leaving the new facility on Monday. They have done this before fairly recently.
Wow. Hopefully Stern document the move and show it to us. Will be cool to watch.
Quoted from Apollo18:Are they running the Aces High Topper ?
Yep. That is the one Stern said they would make, lots of people have paid deposits.

Yes from me.

Quoted from beltking:They should be able to do 1000 le in a week at new place now.
I would be more worried about selling 1000 LE in a week. It is OK to have production capabilities but if you have slow sales, it is pointless.
JP30th LE just proved to me that 500 LE in today's market is plenty.

Quoted from beltking:Wish they did Gotg premium. You can get pros cheaper than msrp as it sits but not prem.
I am hoping for some more GOTG toppers!

Quoted from PinStalker:Too bad they didn't make more toppers.
I think Stern will make more GOTG toppers. I also thing they will be expensive too!

Quoted from mbl1116:You are immediately wasting a minimum of $1k buying NIB as opposed to a nice home use example right now
One point of view only. If you take your family to Disneyland and drop $1K, do you say to yourself I have just wasted $1K?
Some people like to buy new.
Quoted from PinMonk:Only $1k for a family trip to Disneyland? What is this, 1995?
Times are tough.. 1 day is enough!
