TSPP LOTR are the best Sterns ever. I do love me some GB though and it’s definitely up there imo. I don’t think we can say Bond sucks as the code is not finished but I did definitely get bored of GZ before the wiz mode dropped. And Stern homogeny is becoming very obvious these days so…

Quoted from Prince66cali:

I mean usually I would talk ish but Im not really sure where to go with this. So you think the 700th star wars spin off was comparable to what is regarded as one of the best movies of all time. You guys may not like it because of who makes their living in this business but disneys recent work is garbage 100%. Seriously fuxking "Andor". Something 90-95% of the population has never heard of nor cares about. But hey "stern should raise prices, why wouldnt they". Maybe you should spend your time on this thread advocating for a better product instead of d--- riding. Stern released 1 game in 2022 and it sucks and 2 games in the past year, 2 for 2. 15k for an LE of 1000 made?? You guys are going to crash our own market. Godzilla was like JJP GNR, overhyped and repetitive as hell. Ghostbusters was the best stern pin ever made, I own a gb prem but go ahead and ride that for another cash grab. Again, its like sports cards and marvel in the early 90s, mass produced trash. #Winning

this thread is the best "inside of pinside" joke when you finally hang around long enough to figure that out.... you guys are GREAT! lololol.

#34207 1 year ago

Just came in to say.
Andor is the best SW show of the last 10 years.

#34208 1 year ago
Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Hope this is true, where did you hear this? On ozzy

I'm not saying were I hear this from. But considering that Elwin's first pin was not a expensive license as a player to designer. Jack is kinda similar to Keith as far being a player.

I hope you're right. I'm going to start watching it this weekend. If it's a pile of shit, then you're to blame for wasting my time.

#34210 1 year ago

Non to said your rung boat this but thees are false equivalencies. The Maiden license was not necessarily cheap and Ozzy will likely be quite expensive.

I'm on episode 5 now because of you. 1 and 2 were okay. Episode three was epic. 4 and 5 are like watching paint dry. But 6 is supposed to be one of the best so we'll see.

#34216 1 year ago

There are a few, what I call, hinge episodes, but it does get better…

Keep going!

Keep watching. I spent the past 4 days watching 7+1 years of Gilmore Girls. I can’t get enough. So I am relying on Beezle to verify the hot tip. If it checks out, I’ll start watching it.

You may get some crap for this comment… but screw that. That show was great.

A little bird told me that in 2023 we will see the following title.
A reworked revamped Avatar. Rumor mill.. Keeps on spinning round.

This is a head-scratcher because the original Avatar pin was nothing to write home about.

Yeah, they only made 250 LEs and they sell for less than $7k today.

Further proof that rarity does not equal desirability. It's the combination of those two that makes prices in the aftermarket go crazy. I don't see it with Avatar. WAY better places for Stern to put their vaulting efforts.

#34223 1 year ago

Avatar LE has cool mechs (and a fun translite), just shit code typical to the era. Also what happened to everyone saying JJP was doing Avatar?

A lot of pinball nerds seems to love Star Wars Andor...so I think we can book that as a theme sometime after season two of that show? It's a Star Wars and people respond well to them Star Wars

I am yet to dive right into Andor, but from what I watched in the first episode, it was more drama than action-based Star Wars. Not sure it's got the memorable characters that would translate well to a pinball machine? e.g Mandalorian has Mando and Grogu aka baby Yoda, that grab people to play it....not seeing that with Andor? My opinion could change after watching it, but never hear of many people talking about this show.

I can definitely see a pinball company doing another Avatar pinball machine with tonnes of video clips on the display. Would I want to own any Avatar pin based on theme alone? No.

#34225 1 year ago

Yeah I'm curious how much home collector demand there would be for a new Avatar.

I can see ops being sorta interested if the price is right. Maybe home collectors if the premium mechs are super cool? It just doesn't seem like the sort of theme a lot would buy off nostalgia. Maybe if they throw in a lot of shoot the flashing light objectives it could be sold on "depth"

Avatar is such a lame movie, who needed a 2nd avatar.
Carry on!

Avatar, highest grossing movie of all time with 2.9 billion USD in box office sales. So lame

Next Stern cornerstone late 2023. There is no way they going to produce multiple cornerstones while they are moving their entire production facilities to a new location. It’s very likely we will only see one more pin from Stern before 2024.

Gut feeling says don't think this movie is going to do as well anywhere near the first. Yeah, James Cameron but feel he waited way too long for a sequel.

I'm going to respectfully disagree. I think we see a new cornerstone pin announced in January 2023. I don't think you'll get it for a while but I bet it's announced.

Last time they moved they were shipping games at the old factory on a Friday and then were making games at the new place the following Monday

The game development side shouldn't be slowed down too much

Why has Avatar 2 taken so long? The film has suffered multiple setbacks and delays and it's said to have taken its time because James Cameron needed the right technology to film motion capture underwater.7 days ago

I hope it breaks all kinds of records.

#34235 1 year ago

Please Stern-don't go down that road again-jeesh!

Godzilla sales will pick up the slack for a Stern Avatar 2 dismissal sales, not to worry.

On theme alone, my money is safe.

#34237 1 year ago

I saw the extended Avatar 2 trailer that played before Wakanda Forever. I still have absolutely no idea what this film is supposed to be about, and to me it looks like an animated movie.

That being said, Avatar did spawn one of the very best rides at Disney World, so I have no doubt that great things can come out of the franchise.

#34238 1 year ago

This reminds me of the same people with the Beanie Babies. Oh i know this one is worth $2,500 because thats what people are asking on eBay. Yet not one of them ever sells

When I worked at Microsoft and they had to move whole buildings of people, they hired a literal army to help move. We were in the new building the following day.

Quoted from BasementFacts:

Yeah if you actually read the source from the Knapp Arcade article on the move, you see where Stern budgeted 150 movers working a 10 hour day. You can also see some of the stuff they're doing to prep the building and what they will sell at the old factory.

They're not going to be out of commission for months or slow new games... That's silly. Every day the line is down costs them a small fortune. They're going to move over a weekend, with a lot of prep beforehand.

They essentially will have two factories for a brief time in the changeover period to the new factory. I would think that could help rather than hurt their output.

That's back when people wanted to work. They'll be lucky to find 150 people even at $50 an hour that can do anything.

Random fact: I was born in Sioux Falls. Other than that I've never been there.

I'm done with NIB... but I'd buy the shitake mushrooms out of a pin based on this.

This is a proven fallacy. The overwhelming majority of people want to work. It is in our DNA to be productive. Being exploited however, is not.
