Quoted from PinMonk:Stern code names in order by machine:
Elvira HoH - Curves
Game of Thrones - Politico
Ghostbusters - Harold
Godzilla - Oops
Guardians of the Galaxy - Furry Hats
Godzilla’s code name is the same as my first child. What a Coinkydink.

Quoted from screaminr:I pity the fools
I'm gunna beat ya like I did last time!
Quoted from Thunderbird:Thinking the same 3 tier system is identical, except the names used. They do actually compare.
They don't compare at all.
Spooky machine levels ALL share Playfields with identical features.
Play a Stern LZ Pro. Those buyers were lucky Stern left a spinner in there for them.

Quoted from playtwowin:[quoted image]
I did! I saw two nice Godzillas right away.
Isn’t James Bond the only title not released yet from Mnpinball’s prediction list he posted last year?
I’d love a Godzilla pin but have my doubts it will be as awesome as many here hope it will be.
Here’s my topper if it is released.
Is anyone else hoping for Stern to release a turd sometime in the next year to put all the “ordered a LE before it was even announced and flipping it for a huge profit” scalpers to realize its not guaranteed profit to order and flip machines that they have no interest in even owning?
Levi will love this but it’s like concert tickets. Ticket-gument. Long ago you could wait in line and get good seats. Those days are long gone because the scalpers buy and markup almost all the really desirable seats.then the performers got wise and started selling the good seats at crazy markups because they saw how much the scalpers were making. The cost just kept climbing and climbing.

If that's the teaser for the big reveal count me in !
Quoted from frankmac:Sgt. Lincoln Osiris voice when I read your comments..
Quoted from gambit3113:[quoted image]
I laughed so hard at these two comments!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have been buying and trading and flipping machines since 2004/05, and the conversations have literally never changed. The prices of NIB Sterns and secondary market prices have been lamented and debated and cursed and lambasted for 20 years. Anyone around in the hobby back then will remember the constant insistence that JUDGE DREDD IS NOT A $1000 MACHINE!!. TAF hit $3500 and everyone was going to quit the hobby. LOTR LE NIB price was the apocalypse. TAF hit $5000 and the sky was falling. AC/DC LE NIB and secondary prices was the bubble that would end it all. TZ IS NOT A $6,000 GAME!!!! JJP took preorders for WOZ and the price was enough to send everyone out of the hobby forever. Avengers proved that the NIB LE buyers were submarined forever and would end the "buy before you play" practice. MM hit $10K then $12K and nobody would ever be able to afford this hobby anymore. Stern raised prices to be competitive with JJP and it would send Gary to the soup line...
It's the same conversation year after year after year. But I'll tell you that this hobby and this place are more chock full of buyers and players and people in the hobby than anytime in the 20 year history I have in it. the only difference is that the barn finds are found and the great deals on slightly broken machines are bought and repaired.

This right here.
People look at the bottom line when buying a NIB, but as long as there is a secondary market that's maintained steady value as it has been, I will always be able to buy NIB without feeling like it's a sunken cost.
And when the market won’t sustain the prices (because people stop buying at them)… it will adjust - both on used and new machines. This stuff never changes (including the outrage from buyers.)

I always compare pinball to classic cars. They keep going up and people keep buying them. It doesn't need to be an old car anymore. Just like LE or a CE, if a car manufacturer announces a limited run of a desired car, you have tons of buyers plopping down deposits instantly. It's been 40 years of waiting for that bubble to burst.
Bottom line is play your machines ,change coil sleeves ,rubbers,balls right when you notice it’s needed .Clean often and wax every so often and you’ll never lose a dime unless your dumping the game too soon .Condition is King so they say .

Well said.
This reminds me of that Woody Allen joke. One lady says “this food is terrible” and her friend says “yes, and they give you such small portions”

Could it be a super secret Stern Rush Pinball project? Probably music.

That's funny. Of course it has to be Ed and super secret Rush collaboration in a pinball thread while everyone's anticipating a new stern release. This is the perfect rumor cause it could theoretically be a possibility considering his love of pinball.
Nicely done!

Quoted from johnnyutah:Could it be a super secret Stern Rush Pinball project? Probably music.
This is GREAT news regardless. 
The article mentions them being in the recording studio, so yeah, probably music, but Ed is a HUGE pinhead so you KNOW even though this secret project isn't pinball the subject WILL come up!!! Geddy working with Ed can only help our chances at a Rush pinball actually being made, and if Ed is involved (you know he would want to be!) it would help ensure they do the band justice and make a great game.

Super exclusive ad from the Pinside Marketplace!
Looks like the teaser trailer for matrix 4 was released today. it would be pretty crazy if Godzilla was really the Matrix and it was delayed as to not get ahead of the trailer.

if that happens omg!!!
Quoted from Mark1971:if that happens omg!!!
I would much rather have Godzilla than the Matrix. If you’re going to use a Keanu Reeves film make it Bill & Ted or John Wick.

John Wick would be da bomb

I’d cancel my order if it was the matrix. It was a fun movie and I enjoyed it in 5th grade, but that franchise is very forgettable IMO.
I’m aware the downvotes will come swiftly 
Quoted from playtwowin:Get your own material. Lol
Sorry, I couldn't remember where I got that picture! LOL!

I disagree, so I upvoted you to prove you wrong on both counts 
Quoted from BudManPinFan:If you’re going to use a Keanu Reeves film make it Bill & Ted or John Wick.
Speed pin would be insta-purchase. Lots of material to use creatively for the pin. Don't drop below 50mph for a hurry-up mechanic is obvious. Great Dennis Hopper callouts from the movie. Etc etc.
I get it. Matrix 4 will be released in December so that could be in line with when the game would be ready to ship. Wild speculation I know.

That pic can't be posted enough.

Quoted from John1210:the games are tiered differently so cant compare, the jjp le is like a premium stern.
Yeah I understand that they are tiered differently and compare to the Stern Premium. My comment was just my dislike for the actual marketing term "Limited Edition" used for their "mainstream" model with a run of 5000 units. I like "Premium" but to call them LE just seems like a bit of a wank to me.
Quoted from gambit3113:the only difference is that the barn finds are found ...
Don't they have to be by definition?
Quoted from insight75:That pic can't be posted enough.
I agree!!!
Quoted from SkillShot:Where’s my Spaceballs pin?
Or blazing saddles!
Can anyone tell me if we'll see another run of Elvira. I want one but it would be cheaper nib.
Will this Stern Insider $40 thingy actually let us buy the next pin fairly without it being pre sold to all the scalpers on the bro bro list?
Quoted from frankmac:NNN so pick your favorite #. I will go with Geraldine in the #6 spot.
[quoted image]
#2 for me.
Quoted from SafariGordon:Will this Stern Insider $40 thingy actually let us buy the next pin fairly without it being pre sold to all the scalpers on the bro bro list?
How hard is it to buy a new release these days? Are you referring to LE?

#6 Looks a little tired like she has been playing with balls her whole life. Poor girl. lol
