Stern, 2017Quoted from chad:Stern sticking to the plan of April release.
Even though it might not be related, Iron Maiden is starting their Legacy of the beast tour in the end of May, so would also fit nice with the a timeframe for delivering pinball machines.
Quoted from DS_Nadine:You may think what you want but it's still a normal cornerstone title. (Wich is basically a "new" game you can order from your favorite pinball retailer.)
It's definately not a usual Stern game but then again, it was the 30th anniversary and with JJP expanding to the higher price market, why shouldn't Stern? Batman Premium is still available, not limited, made inside Stern so what exactly is 'boutique' here?
Non-Cornerstone are Vaults and Titles you don't buy via Stern itself and/ or usual retailers like Pabst Blue Ribbon, Supreme, even Spiderman Home in a way.
So now you're redefining Whoa Nellie as NOT a boutique (when it is/was), because you could buy it from Stern and usual retailers? They probably still have some in the warehouse.

I define Boutique as a smaller run, original title.
Quoted from PinMonk:I hear you and hope you're right because I WANT this pin. But with Stern's recent track record of the last few years, I will worry about ALL of it until it's out the doors and into real-life. I will believe nothing Stern says, prints, or promises about future code or upcoming features. I will live in the here and now. The only safe place for a Stern buyer these days.
At this point you'd be nuts to buy a machine from any seller before you've seen it, played it, and are happy with what you'll actually be getting. Not that that was ever logical behavior, but there's no excuse for it in 2018.

I'm with you Vireland, I'll be wearing my custom Stern t-shirt at TPF this weekend, just to get the point across

Talking pinball limited market
Quoted from Wakky:De ninguna manera estúpido no rentable tema de pinball ... especula todo lo que quieras todo este empuje y publicación no lo hará realidad. Stern es mucho más inteligente que eso
I do not speculate, it is my wish. If it were to become a reality, you would give me an apology. Let's wait until the end of the year ....

Wakky’s stuff does read better in Spanish, it’s true ...

Wakky is wack in any language..

Wish = speculation. Same thing ..

Whoa Nellie was released in 2011 when there was no 'boutique' (no Spooky, no Zidware..) in terms of pinball.
So altough it -from todays standpoint- seems 'boutique' it then just was 'kinda odd' and produced, marketed and sold the usual way. (And would it have taken off there would be thousands of this game around.)
And we were talking about 'cornerstone titles' wich as well is a term/ part of a mixed business modell Stern didn't have in 2011.
So the assumption that Whoa Nellie is a boutique game is basically the same as:
"Is a horse in hindsight just an oldtimer (car)?"
Quoted from karl:The rumor I have heard is that there will be no Elvira 3 from Stern
Tragic 
I was ready to buy that one
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Does this mean Deeproot are doing it?
Sure seems like it with Nordman jumping Stern's ship to Deeproot. That'll be interesting.
Quoted from jorro:Deeproot does Elvira
Sounds like a weird p.rn flick
Japanese, for sure.
Quoted from karl:The rumor I have heard is that there will be no Elvira 3 from Stern
Stern will be doing Iron Maiden, Deadpool and Munsters. Throw a Vault Edition in the mix and that's 2018. Elvira 3 is off the radar now.

If Munsters is correct - I'm in.
Stern...
They still haven’t finished my Aerosmith
They somehow made a Star Wars pin I don’t want
They coded the beautiful GOTG so poorly I won’t buy it
They lost rights to Pulp Fiction (rumored)
They lost the rights to Elvira (rumored)
They are making the most white trash dirtbag rock band pin ever (Iron Maiden)
If Munesters is true I bet it’s kapow collab. They like to make expensive old shit.
Why am I even here?
Oh yeah, to see when they update Aerosmith & to follow the CGC unboxing threads/updates.
Quoted from NoQuarters:If Munsters is correct - I'm in.
Same here, i want The Munsters and Jurassic Park!
Iron Maiden sucks so F'n bad
I might buy one if the art, code & PF are legit tho
But FFS what an absolute terrible catalog of music
Old bastards, white trash & poser metal heads feel free to apply more thumbs down my way
I'm just here to troll you dirtbags anyway lol

I not big on downvoting people, so I will just respectfully disagree.
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Stern seminar at TPF starting now. https://www.twitch.tv/texas_pinball_seminar
The dumbest Stern-est seminar setup. All the other ones had the stage and an inset with the other screen. Gomez is talking and pointing at a screen non-stop that's nowhere on the screen. Dumb, but very Stern. All the other manufacturers could manage to do this presentation stage right, but not Stern. Sigh.
Quoted from Concretehardt:Watch Stern presentation on Sterns Facebook page if you want to see the slides.
https://m.facebook.com/sternpinball/
Thanks. I have that open now, but it's stupid they couldn't manage to inset that like all the manufacturers have.
Some highlights of his speech:
Nice that Brian Eddy is coming on at Stern.
Iron Maiden reveal "maybe in April" and "April, I think."
Elvira 3 will happen, but they need a software engineer to work on it.
They plan on doing another Super LE.
Gomez made a wink-wink reference to a Lord of the Rings vault edition in the process of answering a question about putting LCDs in vaults.
Stern will get more technical information out to end users on Spike 2 node boards to enable better diagnosis and repair in the field.
After talking about how robust and balanced Spike/2 is (SAM and WPC-95 had "growing pains" too!), Gomez immediately segues into saying how fragile Spike/2 power budgets are and that users have damaged theirs by modding them. The irony of this immediate juxtaposition in his talk is apparently lost on him.
Batgirl is coming to Batman'66 code.
How do people find out far in advance what the next title is? It seems you guys are right about 99% of the time.
Quoted from PinMagnet:How do people find out far in advance what the next title is? It seems you guys are right about 99% of the time.
People talk. Alcohol makes them talk more.
Quoted from PinMonk:Thanks. I have that open now, but it's stupid they couldn't manage to inset that like all the manufacturers have.
Nice that Brian Eddy is coming on at Stern, though.
Iron Maiden reveal "maybe in April."
“Titanium Man” didn’t sound like Lyman was on code though 
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Elvira 3 will happen. Gomez mentioned they are waiting for a Software Engineer to get freed up.
Man, I hope so
Quoted from PinballManiac40:Elvira 3 will happen. Gomez mentioned they are waiting for a Software Engineer to get freed up.
Ok Stern - Then please get one freed up ! Elvira 3 needs to get happening .....
Quoted from NoQuarters:Ok Stern - Then please get one freed up ! Elvira 3 needs to get happening .....
It doesn't sound like this year to me, and Gomez was doing significant verbal acrobatics to come up with the words he used, so it sounds like there are problems. My opinion.
after getting my acdc luci ve idgaf about any of the new sterns for 2018. another sle money grab for suckers? live and learn people avoid those like the plague.
spike 2 has power issues and cant handle mods? what a joke.
right now i am looking at spooky tna, alice cooper and chicago gaming revivals.
