What is this Elwin pin going to look and flip like… So excited to see it.
Quoted from Wmsfan-GAP:I prolly haven’t seen BTTF since it was originally released, and any Godzilla since before that. These titles don’t do anything for me. Now a Rush pin- I’m already on the list for an LE and Premium.

Can you teach me how you get on a list? The response I get is "I don't have allocation numbers yet from Stern for LE's"
For me theme is the least important part of a game... Weird tho, when I was a kid it was the most. So given what I have heard this is going to be an incredible game.
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:Horrible theme for me… But I will give it a very hard look because of Elwin.
If it fails the eye test, I will go with IM pro.
I think it is Elwin’s best so far.
I own Iron Maiden, but think Godzilla might end up better. There are many insider rumors that Godzilla is going to be amazing with a killer Mech. Can't wait to see the machine.

As long as it isn't as clunky and faulty as the subway in AIQ....

Wait a minute. I thought we were not supposed to talk bad about Elwin games. lol
Hard to ignore the many failings of AIQ imo, IMDN and JP are absolutely perfect games in every way.

Quoted from insight75:Can you teach me how you get on a list? The response I get is "I don't have allocation numbers yet from Stern for LE's"
from what Ive heard their lists are full of people who are on the LE list permanantly and get every single LE. I wont committ to that even though lately Ive been getting many of these games. But some I just have zero interest in like LZ or a future Rush pin. So I wont committ to buying all of them even if you can flip them easily.
Quoted from Boblabla:Please, someone answer truthfully the last time they watched a 60’s 70’s 80’s Godzilla movie, purposely. We keep waiting on BTTF , which everyone wants.
Why not just release BTTF already!
I watched Godzilla vs Gigan last week.

If you are a maiden fan I would grab one over Godzilla no questions asked. It’s a complete package with the best call outs and theme integration or any stern. Maiden is a true masterpiece...
IMDN is probably my favorite game ever but I’m not sure how you say this without seeing or playing Godzilla first. Elwin is definitely capable of outdoing himself.

Especially now that he's dragging Stern into subways. FINALLY. AIQ's wasn't GREAT, but at least it was more than the in and out mini not-really-a-subway IM Prem/LE had.
Wait for the crossover reskin release. Best of both worlds.

Huh? There's no subway on Iron Maiden? Are you talking about under the ramp on the Premium/LE? Even Stern calls that a scoop in their docs, so I'm not sure what you're referring to there...
Quoted from insight75:Can you teach me how you get on a list? The response I get is "I don't have allocation numbers yet from Stern for LE's"
Its no big deal really. I have a distributor I always use for my NIB games, as well as others. He knows I’m always good for anything I say I will buy. So if a title is coming up I’m interested in (even if it’s not official, like Rush), I just ask to get put on the list for whatever model. Often times, this can be 6-8 months out before it’s even announced.
I’m on the Rush list for a LE and Premium as one game is for me, and one is for my brother. I don’t play the ‘trying to make a quick buck’ game buying up LEs.
Quoted from Frax:Huh? There's no subway on Iron Maiden? Are you talking about under the ramp on the Premium/LE? Even Stern calls that a scoop in their docs, so I'm not sure what you're referring to there...
On the Prem/LE, the world's shortest subway feeds from the sarcophagus to the scoop when the sarcophagus dumps the ball down into it. Goes down through the dinky subway and over into the scoop area to be ejected from under the ramp. Baby steps. He got closer to breaking the Stern subway drought by the time AIQ came around. Not great yet, but maybe on Godzilla!

Gotcha. I've never seen the guts of one, and only played a LE/Premium maybe a total of 6 games. Granted, three of those games were hour long 4 player games but I was pretty bloody exhausted by that point.

Because Godzilla will be in production for years and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the last maiden run ever. He can get maiden ASAP while Godzilla might be hard to impossible to get for a few months at least

This is correct also to add, code dev on godzilla.
With that said CCr is also interesting
Ok - with Godzilla now out of the way, can we get back to getting the new Rush ready for all of us waiting?

Ya I know its " the next stern pin " thread, but can we at least see gz before we move on? I'm in for an le so I wanna see what I've got coming

Okay, fine. I'll give you until Tuesday. Then Rush is officially the next Stern pin and we'll be back on topic.

U crack me up buddy!!! I'll prob be in on rush as well, will fit good with LZ.
Quoted from PinMonk:Did Stern really pull off Star Wars, though? They cost-reduced the crap out of what should have been one of their most-elaborate pins. Seems like it was the genesis of Steve Ritchie's exit from Stern.
Agreed but Mandalorian more than makes up for that POS. It's only at .97 and so much more enjoyable
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:Agreed but Mandalorian more than makes up for that POS. It's only at .97 and so much more enjoyable
I really enjoy SW premium. Great code, great moments, fun brutal game. I know its not everyones fav. Cant wait until my mando arrives and is next to SW with all that awesome SW randy martinez art.
Idk maybe I’m just too young but Rush has like three great songs. Rather have a Black Sabbath or Chicago pin bf them. Big pass.
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Elwin is definitely capable of outdoing himself.
Most forget that Elwin spent YEARS on Archer/Maiden. He may outdo himself, but the current schedule makes me doubt it. Maiden reflects the time spent. The best stern to date.
Quoted from Prince66cali:The best era of pinball machines was 2016/2017. GB, Alien (H), SW, IM
What are you… 8?
Quoted from nicoy3k:If you are a maiden fan I would grab one over Godzilla no questions asked. It’s a complete package with the best call outs and theme integration or any stern. Maiden is a true masterpiece...
Without seeing Godzilla how can you even say that?

Agreed with you up to Chicago
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Without seeing Godzilla how can you even say that?
Because Godzilla will be around a long time from now is what he is saying.
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:Agreed with you up to Chicago
25 or 6 to 4 Multiball doesn’t sound like fun?
Quoted from KnockerPTSD:With Eddy having just finished Mando, Keith on Godzilla and Borg rumored to be on Rush, who would be the designer for a BTTF and who actually is designing atm? Ritchie is gone, Gomez is more of an adviser now apparantly. Not sure who that really leaves right now.
I think its a well kept secret but I think Jack Danger Is doing some designing work with Stern!
Quoted from Motorcitypinball:I think its a well kept secret but I think Jack Danger Is doing some designing work with Stern!
Yes, and the Pinball Expo event schedule mentions his new project with Waison Cheng, from Stern.

Quoted from gamera9:I watched Godzilla vs Gigan last week.
At first I thought you said Godzilla vs Gilligan .
I'd like to see that
Quoted from tp:I know it's been asked before but, does joining stern insider guarentee you 1st crack at an le?
I would say NO.

What is atm? Isn’t RayDay getting a crack at designing? I thought I heard that somewhere .
