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

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...

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.

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

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

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 hate Star Wars...

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.

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..
