Looks like BB Grogu does...nothing? Looks like a recipe for stuck balls. Happy to see that it doesn’t look like LZ. Will prob grab a pro for my location. The backglass and artwork is lame...but I expected that

Quoted from mrclean:

This is the way... Seems to be rotating, drop down upper playfield. Presumably Grogu aka baby yoda has a magnetic hand to pickup pinballs within that upper plastic ramp area ?!, possibly might move his head, does he blink ? modders will have that happen. Back glass meh, rest of the game is pretty packed , lots of wire forms, as stated in the other thread haven't seen a Stern game this packed since Ghostbusters / Simpsons Pinball Party

No Bill Burr on the backglass? I'm out.

Hope this is NOT the LE. Bland art

I just think the backglass is lack luster so far...

Orange? The whole thing is orange?

Quoted from Pinchild:

Pro is Orange and all plastic ramps

Metal game badge on the speaker panel says LE. Pro/Prem are plastic.

It has art blades also .. Prob the LE.

Very interesting playfield the reverse of ZEPPELIN
Over packed a bit

#17964 2 years ago

Need to see the HD pics ... Looks packed.

#17965 2 years ago
Quoted from Pinchild:

Only because you're used to seeing bare Sterns recently. It will be interesting to see how much trickles down to the Pro and how much of that actually DOES something, but at least Stern is trying a little, maybe(?) with this one?

That said, brace for the price increases...

#17966 2 years ago

I definitely prefer packed to completely empty...and it’s Eddy...so if it shoots like an Eddy and is packed that’ll be pretty cool

I’m hearing no price increase on this one

#17968 2 years ago

There’s no price increase by stern but that doesn’t mean dealers won’t sell over MSRP.
I imagine they won’t on pro and premiums though.

Baskar

We now know what Baskar armor is in the game lol. I'm thinking the armor will look better in the high resolution photos.

Good news

#17974 2 years ago

Any distributors pulling that shit will lose business. Plenty of ethical places to buy from. Gotta price competitively at retail...
The secondary market however....

Anyone else think the playfield seems crowded? Hoping there is some more breathing room on the Pro.

#17980 2 years ago

The layout and playfield looks fine, that backglass though... utter shite.
The grey color scheme is f'ing terrible and the artwork looks like it was just run through a shitty photoshop filter.

Shouldn’t be bad. I count 7 shots. Nothing crazy.

I think its just the low angle of the photo.

Agree, not a huge fan of that photo - no doubt it'll look better in better pics and in person.

Munsters 2 with Dwight Sullivan on code and make 1000 LE’s

Can we please stop blaming Dwight? Munsters ain’t 100% his fault.
He proved he can deliver, see GB see TMNT
Get over it, move on
Xaqery did some great work in his career both at WMS and Stern

#17989 2 years ago

Amazing looking LE, even with fuzzy photo. It is packed and exactly what we’ve all been craving for a Star Wars pin. As much as I like my Star Wars LE, this is the one that has what all fans of the movies have always wanted. Star Wars Disneyland under glass.

I’m guessing we’ll see 3 different backglasses. Hopefully the other two are better than this as yeah it’s pretty meh..

Well,... most Stern Backglasses are kinda wild collages of EVERYTHING/ EVERYONE.

I hate Star Wars...

And Lord of The Rings...

And Harry Potter...

etc

How about something actually interesting or different?

Pulp Fiction? Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas? Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Succession? Think outside the box people...the repetitive nature of the industry is nauseating.

Oh and what happened to original titles? You know...the ones you can actually make more money on because you're not paying Disney 1200$ a machine in royalties?

"Popular themes sell pinball machines though!"

That's because on the rare occurrence they do make a game that isn't cookie cutter stamped with the flavor of the year, it's utter crap like black knight pro or elvira, or some music pin from a band that nobody's given two shits about in 30 years. Odd Future pinball? Kanye West pinball? Get somebody under the age of 40 on staff?

This is Brian Eddy you morons! He created arguably the two best pinball machines of all time WITH NO MAJOR THEME.....HELLO? Talk about not knowing how to use your talent...

Yes, it'll sell. But this Stern complacency in the marketplace will come back to bite them in the ass eventually. Some other company will get with the program and actually focus on fun innovative tech and experiences instead of chasing licenses....

The public doesn't know what they want until you give it to them.

Total Nuclear Annihilation....I rest my case.

‘Style’ yeah but you never know one may standout. That’s certainly happened before with Sterns. I mean for example really dislike the TWD Pro and LE backglass art but Don’t mind the Premium by comparison -it’s not a stand out but tidier than the other two. That’s off the top of my head there’s prob more examples if I have a think.

This is so much better...damn

PS: as the pinsider said in the previous post baby Yoda is just a doll?? Wtf! That can't be...if it is this is not going to be received well.

good to see you took the advice on the Mando thread and posted here. I will say yeah Stern are guilty of over use of lic themes for sure. On the other hand Spooky Rick and Morty is epic theme integration that got me to buy my first Spooky pin. Stern could learn a few things in that I reckon..
