I was only using 666 as a joke for Number of the beast. Don’t have a clue on real price, but I am sure it is close.

I'm a moron, didn't even notice that, LOL! But your right, I'm sure it's close.

Until announced, the details around Godzilla are subject to change. The one thing I wish Stern would do differently is to double the number of LE’s offered. There were 650 Avengers LE’s and 750 Mando LE’s and each was oversubscribed so much that the market place has them listed for $3k-$5k above list price. Having too few LE’s drives the secondary price up too much. This is not good for the market nor the buyer. To solve this the number of LE’s offered has to rise.

Would 1000 LE’s have been too many for Avengers and Mando? No those titles were hot and could have used 1,250 LE’s to meet demand imo. Now Godzilla is on the doorstep and we are led to believe Stern will announce 1000 LE’s. I say that is not enough and they should announce 1,250 instead. Then Stern could sell 1000 through it’s distributors and 250 directly to customers on day 2, after the first wave sells out on day 1. At 1,250 LE’s sold, that would make Godzilla the best selling LE to date and maybe the start of seeing 1k -2k LE’s offered for all models going forward. This gets more high margin games into the market place and earns Stern a few million dollars extra x 3 releases a year = $6M extra profit and makes a few thousand customers more happy each year. Bond and BTTF could each have 2k LE’s sold. How many Harry Potter LE’s could sell - 5k plus 1k SLE’s? That one is the motherlode.

Still holding out hope for BTTF. If Gomez says next game will knock you on your ass…

I think Jumanji should be on this list. It's been called out a few times and the game character attributes from the franchise would make for some awesome modes. Personally, I don't see big trouble in little china ever getting a pin unless a remake comes along...then it would be based on that one and not the one from 1986. Based on box office sales, big trouble doesn't seem like it was all that popular. According to IMDb, there were many, many other movies released that same year that did so much better (Ferris Bueller being one of those).

Hope the game is fun if it’s Godzilla, bjt just watched the move Godzilla vs Kong which was a major let down. Still thing BTTF would be a hit.

Many cult hits fail at the box office. Big Lebowski is probably the best example.

All the year’s I’ve been buying new in the box: the best deal I’ve found is MSRP, lol.

So we will know 09/07?

Would still make a LOT more sense, especially with the open Godzilla promotion for like a year or more that just felt misdirection-y.

But even if it really IS Godzilla, interested to see what the infinity BOM Gary has gifted Elwin looks like. Does it even even rise to the level of Spiderman's original release?

Godzilla is the code name for Goonies...

Godzilla is the code name for Jumanji...

Keep it going...

Godzilla is code name for ゴジラ.

Will we see a teaser Tuesday? Or full reveal Wednesday?

I say full reveal tomorrow.

Big Trouble made a fortune on VHS/DVD and later streaming. Wonka had a remake, the pin is based on the (better) original. Probably would be the same thing if Dwayne Johnson gets a BTiLC sequel like he's trying to. Funny you mention Jumanji, because that's what they're trying to do with BTiLC. Extend the original IP without touching the original.

Godzilla full monty? That should be memorable...

Looking at my TWD, the code name was Dinner Time. Spiderman's code name was Spiderm. Balls were dropped on that one lol.

Curves for EHOH is my favorite code name so far

If Godzilla is the next pin, would you think Godzilla is 'good' or 'bad'?

Far from not good. It was two giant monsters kicking off he crap out of each other. Plot holes yes, and not Citizen Kane, but for a kaju movie it was good.

It made $442 million during this stupid pandemic and was also on HBO max. So it did well. As a fan since the early 70’s I liked it.

Haha. I still like Godzilla being the code name of a monster license.

I’m in for a a Harry Potter.

By here I meant Australia in accordance with you post, not Pinside as that's stating the obvious re it's popularity here.

Stomping sounds fun. I'll maybe save it later!

Rob

What does BOM mean please?

Bill of Materials

So a list of stuff what's in the game and what it does cost.

So Stern games have a BOM aka a set price of stuff/ cost that may go into the machine.

Thank you

Horrible.

I've said it before on this thread Jumanji would make a great pin and I'm talking about the new ones .
Big trouble in little China would definitely be a great pin , it would be near the top of my list .
It has cool characters and storyline , great action , magic , monsters , sexy chicks and humour .
It ticks all the boxes .

I know what you meant but pinside is a good indicator of what people like , including here in Australia . I'm not saying Godzilla wouldn't sell well , I would like to see the Godzilla pin but you have so many versions it divides people . I really liked Godzilla vs King Kong but some people with no taste think it's crap
Back to the Future is one of the most popular movie trilogies of all time .
It's a family friendly and when I mentioned to my wife it could be coming out she said we have to get one , and she's not even into pinball , she just puts up with my crap .

So far from horrible. If you were a true Godzilla fan you wouldn’t say that. Show me one Godzilla movie that was a cinematic masterpiece. It’s about giant monsters kicking the crap out of each other.

They added more fight scenes and less human side stories. I honestly don’t know what you were expecting. These are not Martin Scorsese films for crying out loud.

I don't think Jaws was ever happening. Keith Elwin wore a Jaws hat to Pinburgh one year when he was working on Jurassic Park to troll everyone. JP code name is Jaws. That's it.

Agreed, after that movie I felt like my eyes and ears had been assaulted. And not in a good way. Like, in a punishing, vengeful, hurtful way. What an awful flick. Pin could be fun though.

Haha, i always thought it was "Bucket of Money", basically the same thing though.

I hope if they do Godzilla they can include the Blue Oyster Cult song.

That is a must.

I think it will be hilarious when it turns out to be a Blue Oyster Cult music pin and Godzilla was just the codename all along!

Please, Stern, don’t do it.

Looks like they just pushed the release back by a week.

What makes you say that? Distributor?

Agreed. The stern army webinar was pushed back a week so I assume the reveal will be next Monday or Tuesday.

Operator webinar was just pushed back by a week.

Most upsetting.

Yes stern please! Go go Godzilla!! Great song by Blue Oyster Cult. If not cleland can add it.

There won't be anymore custom codes im afraid,

The push back lines up 100% with last week's speculation.

This will mean more games get into customer's hands faster.
