Stern, 2017Quoted from iceman44:$360,000. Goldin auctions 2020.
There’s a segment on the Netflix documentary about Goldin and sports collectibles that shows some high end Pokémon cards getting listed for big $$$
Who the dumbell Frig would pay a full mortgage for a single Poketard?
Quoted from jarjarisgod:Zero interest if Robert Shaw’s Quint doesn’t say “Here’s to swimming with bow legged women” upon triggering a ball save.
Hope you're OK with soundalikes
Quoted from underlord:Who the dumbell Frig would pay a full mortgage for a single Poketard?
That’s exactly what i thought Rick! Apparently lots of people out there with more money than sense.
Put Logan Paul in that camp. Of course he made more on what got paid for the “views” in streaming himself opening up some original 1st edition box he paid a fortune for.

I’m doing it wrong. Less sense=more cents. Genius.
Quoted from iceman44:Back to reality.
JAWS! Let’s go
20 days to possible reveal. Fuck Thanksgiving. Awww yeah.

Yellow barrels taken under the PF after Shark hits?
Maybe a shark tank under the PF like the bowling alley on Lebowski. Would Stern go that big?
Or more like the little Diver guy on James Bond under that scoop
Quoted from iceman44:Or more like the little Diver guy on James Bond under that scoop
That was a little too cutsey "Oh you think bally is the only one who can holograph/light up stuff under the PF?".
Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:How many will go for a LE on Jaws if it’s another Godzilla from Elwin?
I’m open to it. I like the theme much better than GZ
Quoted from iceman44:I’m open to it. I like the theme much better than GZ
Me too. LE as long as value to cost is there. Without assets no sale. We’ll see.
Quoted from blueberryjohnson:Hope you're OK with soundalikes
Hence the “no thanks” part. 
I’ll go premium, I can’t justify LE and don’t see that changing.
I usually go for second best it’s where price and value hit the sweet spot in most things

I was premium guy with AC/DC. Then came TWD.
Still, like Rick said, need to see some “assets”.
JPLE was cheaper than the premiums these days.
Great game but with just Nedry in it! Like it better than GZ except the code.
We will see soon enough.
Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:How many will go for a LE on Jaws if it’s another Godzilla from Elwin?
Which LE the first run or the year after an anniversary edition ?
Quoted from DCfoodfreak:Which LE the first run or the year after an anniversary edition ?
Well. Now that you mention it. 2025 is the 50th anniversary of Jaws 1.
I’d like to think the Jaws release will be the 50th Anniversary edition, even though that’s in 2025.
Quoted from beltking:Few distros said prem list for jaws is much longer then le.
8K by March.
I hope for movie assets.
I think the music can lend itself to the game better then Jurassic Park because of how well it was integrated to the movie action.
I believe a lot of that “soul” people say is missing from elwin games is just asset integration. Godzilla is pretty charming with the baby godzilla and the Mothra call out.
I finally got to play a more recent version of Bond in a not so loud environment and boy was it a lot more fun then the earlier games I played and that was largely just asset and theme integration.
we have emotional connections built to the assets already, being able to leverage that is huge.
Quoted from PinMonk:JP did just fine. A great pin is a great pin.
I also think you're underestimating the power of each Jaws LE coming with a lightly-used copy of the book!
[quoted image]
Jp did great because of the movies that came out in the 2015 and 2018. Jaw's last film was 2001 I think. Dinosaur theme is better than a shark theme.

Meh. I couldn't care less about any of the JP movies after the first one or two. The fact that there were mediocre movies recently may help with the location casuals, but I think owners are just impressed with the game itself. It's very well done (after a rough start). My second-favorite Elwin.

mine too! IMDN is my first.
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:mine too! IMDN is my first.
Yeah, I like Maiden best, then JP Prem, then GZ, then AIQ.
Quoted from Pinball-Cruiser:I’d like to think the Jaws release will be the 50th Anniversary edition, even though that’s in 2025.
Nah, they gotta make 1000 LE's before that, then gear up for 500 of the 'Blood Red Shark' ed. in '25
Any thoughts on whether Jaws will be a studio title and not a cornerstone? So no pro at all? Heard that a while ago but not again since.
Quoted from underlord:Me too. LE as long as value to cost is there. Without assets no sale. We’ll see.
There MUST be assets !

Funny I know 2 people on the LE wait list.
The flippers are probably gone though.
Quoted from kool1:Funny I know 2 people on the LE wait list.

True. I'm debating LE list but hate to lose too much. I never look at this like I'll make money and ok with losing some. Just hate to have a game value decrease by like 2k or whatever...
Quoted from Rizmo:Didnt Gomez say stern was only releasing 2 cornerstones in 2023? These would be Foo Fighters and Venom. Did I miss where they said a 3rd cornerstone would be released in 2023
Probably the difference between announcing (late nov/dec 2023) and shipping (jan 2024) the next game.
that gotta be the worst time to announce a game. Most people are getting over the holidays and funds are scarce, I suspect the next cornerstone in Feb-March.
Quoted from Pin_Fandango:that gotta be the worst time to announce a game. Most people are getting over the holidays and funds are scarce, I suspect the next cornerstone in Feb-March.
Stranger Things says hello. Not the only one, but it was announced in Dec and shipped in Jan.

December is when they've announced many titles: STh, LZ, Rush, etc. I think Stern knows if pinheads want a machine, they'll sell their firstborn child to get it.

I hate when I get beat by 50 seconds.

Not anymore Boobie.
Dec is also when Stern used to offer the $$$ grabs to Distros like EHOH 40th, which worked, and BOND60th, which didn’t.
I hear they have some kind of Super CE planned for Jaws? Who knows.
Anyone have advice on how to get on distributor wish list for Pokemon LE? I had a distributor for years who recently got out of selling Sterns and so I have lost my place on the imaginary list. My kids and I have played pokemon for years!! Thanks

Get on the 2 months later discount list. Call around

Don’t need wishlists or interest lists anymore. You’ll be able to get one if it happens
Quoted from blastbeat:True. I'm debating LE list but hate to lose too much. I never look at this like I'll make money and ok with losing some. Just hate to have a game value decrease by like 2k or whatever...
Do it, you know you want to, and you will make $$$$ tomorrow.

Except none of those were particularly popular.
Quoted from cooked71:Except none of those were particularly popular.
Stranger Things is still EXTREMELY popular on location. The only reason the initial sales were cut short was because of the pandemic starting right as it started shipping, and the initial rough shape of the code. The fact that was getting 50%+ over MSRP used shows demand in the market for home users is still very strong.

But the fact remains 3 were initially not sold well and therefore December launches are questionable.

December launches just before a global pandemic are bad. I agree with that.
The other two, LZ famously sold lousy, but I think that was less to do with the timing than the game Stern delivered. RUSH I think did okay out of the gate, but I have no inside knowledge on that.
Also, the ONLY non-music Dec launch of those three is the one that did all right and is being vaulted now due to persistent demand.
Way too many distractions around Xmas. Over here it’s summer holidays - no one wants to preorder a $17-24k game when they’ve just spent a small fortune in Xmas presents and/or a family beach holiday or overseas trip. I know for fact it’s the worst time to sell a used game.
In the northern hemisphere I would think there’s also too much distraction in December and January. Not sure $10-13k Xmas gifts are on the cards for most people and the post Xmas hangover takes out most of January, but I could be wrong.
