Quoted from Goronic:I wonder if it is the same size as the premium model and you can just buy one of those to replace the plastic one on the pro? Probably not.
Yeah mate hope so to in the pro video they look very cheap an wobbling looks bad an I will get a pro if I could get metal ramps the plastic obscures some of the artwork aswell from the footage on pro
Quoted from Roostking:What is the NEXT Stern Theme?
Probably Wandavision or some other incredibly disappointing prepack from Disney.

Hopefully something soon.
Cabbage patch kids. Lots of dolls in it.. LEs sold out..

How about melon patch kids. They're not orphans, they're abandoned.
Bonus points if the game has a triple lindy ramp.
I think its funny that you only get one flipper on that upper playfield on the pro and two on the premium.
I wish baby Grogu did something other than stand there. He looks like the same Grogu toy I ordered from Amazon, who also just stands there (arms can be moved). I bet the modders can perk him a bit with some LED eyes or something wacky. Thoughts on how to mod Grogu?

yeah put a cool one in there that swallows a ball for multiball (like the eggs) or moves his arms when he uses force. or something... ANYTHING.
they put a Mattel doll in there and it's super oversized.....
maybe put the Razor Crest back there real big and Grogu in the middle a little more.... to scale?
still wanna play it! hahaha

Quoted from transprtr4u:Lawrence Welk
After Godzilla
You could rework the moving Trex head motor mod from JP so that he turns or his arm goes up and down. Still kinda dumb but...

I really thought the Grogu would move in some manner...even the video showed what looked like it shaking back and forth..guess that was just from the shaker motor maybe. Like make his head follow the ball ala FH or something. As a fan of the show, I like the theme, and overall I'm not as critical of the art as many here. I think the game has potential if the code is good. I do like the up/down moving pf they can use that to make certain modes harder than others, but you would think it needs a cover.
Looks promising. First thing I'd do is rip baby Yoda out and make a topper out of him. When the magnets turn on maybe lights can shine on him or something. Must get rid of that useless doll junking up the playfield. I'd be good with that.

I think that's a huge...rub. If you are going to put something THAT large on a pf it should be interactive in some manner. I'm not even clear what that magnet is actually used for but it's just there and you pretend Groku did it.
It is a pretty big departure by Eddy from his previous designs, no? It is a lot more interesting looking for sure. I see some nice things. While art is in the eye, it looks fine to me (except pro eewww).
Good work by Stern to keep this under wraps. I went back and searched this thread - there were only sporadic mentions by people saying they'd like a Mandalorian pin...but nobody was really suggesting it was a possibility until three weeks ago. Impressive.
Not sure how to square this with all the confidence about rumored upcoming pins people are positive about:
- Back to the Future
- Jaws
- Godzilla
If Mando didn't leak...why would these?
Quoted from seenev:Probably Wandavision or some other incredibly disappointing prepack from Disney.
Wandavision?? Sounds like porn? Oh wait you said Disney, so guess it would be some animation movie then?
Quoted from xyntec:Wandavision?? Sounds like porn? Oh wait you said Disney, so guess it would be some animation movie then?
No, it's part of the Marvel universe. It's takes place after Endgame. It is...definitely unique in its delivery. If you aren't into the Marvel stuff you probably wouldn't care for it.
I received an email from Stern today that included this:
ATTENTION Stern All-Access Insiders, there is a very limited number of LE Mandalorian pinball machines available to purchase on the Stern Store now. Only registered All-Access members will have the ability to make a purchase while supplies last. Don't have All-Access? Register and become a Stern Insider today!
Then I found this on their website (sold out):
https://shop.sternpinball.com/products/stern-insider-star-wars-mandalorian-le
I don't understand what's going on here. Are they selling directly or are they allowing people to reserve an LE that they then buy through a distributor?
They just want clicks for the site and they want everyone to know that it’s sold out.

Wait for Elwins next. This thing looks like a hyped up turd to me.
Quoted from manadams:Have a deposit on a Mando pro but was hoping to avoid the mini playfield and disappointing that Grogu/Baby Yoda does nothing. May have to save my deposit for another game.
Quoted from frankmac:Hopefully Cabbage Patch Kids with lots of dolls in it.
Quoted from freeplay3:How about Melon Patch Kids next?
Both of those licenses were too expensive. But Stern did score the license for Garbage Pail Kids.
Chastise Nasty Nick by completing ramp shots.
Deodorize Stinky Stan by completing drop targets.
Resurrect Dead Fred by activating pop bumpers.
Clean up Corroded Carl by making multiple loops.
Defuse Adam Bomb during timed multiball.

I would be into a garbage pail kids game.
I’d be first in line to buy it.

Seems like we're pushing it to get three Stern titles this year much less two, first release isn't shipping until June. I wonder if they're going with less titles per year and producing more volume?
I think Godzilla is already done. Whatever is third has likely been in the design stage for sometime already. Time will tell.

That is a lot of work..

Quoted from jeffspinballpalace:TM (The Mandalorian)
Likely taken by Time Machine or The Munsters.
My vote is simply Mando
or maybe SWM (Starwars: Mandalorian)

I suspect we will see a second title ahead of schedule. Similar to the TMNT/AIQ gap. I expect Stern to pump out Mando until July likely, run backorders for a few weeks and announce another title before August possibly. Crazy imo but its what i expect to happen
Quoted from Ecw0930:Just gonna be Mando.
You can't do that. It has the word "man" in it. Not woke enough.
It would seem Stern needs to start considering the abbreviations available when planning for new games.
Honestly I think MAN should be sufficient.

was a joke man, a joke. except the 'MAN should be sufficient' part.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:[quoted image]
why so sensitive? 
I'm pretty sure that big toy thing at the back will move, probably only move it's head from side to side, but there's no way something that big would be added to a pinball game and do nothing.....no way. No one on the design team would be happy with that. If I'm wrong and it doesn't move....then you guys are getting ripped off.
