Quoted from PinMonk:

Forget the NEXT stern pin for a moment, let's ponder an email from Marco I just got about NIB pins they have in stock for christmas and WWE LE and Transformers LE are on the list. I wonder how many distributors have these unwanted LEs rotting in their warehouses. TFLE was 8 years ago, WWE almost 5. They ain't selling for anything but a blowout price.
[quoted image]
And honestly, does a WWE LE under a pinhead's Christmas tree REALLY say "I love you"? Or is it more of a passive aggressive move from a pin culture-hating wife or girlfriend?

Never saw that life or played it, is it really that bad? I figure there is fun to be had for somebody that likes the theme maybe?

Quoted from PinMonk:

Transformers and WWE are both terrible, but in different ways. Transformers is just boring, and WWE has a weird layout with too much time spent in that giant ring that's dumb (and the wheel things on the LE don't move the ball around as much as you'd imagine). It's no wonder Stern gives WWE LEs away as tournament prizes to draw down what is likely way more warehouse stock than they should have of any LE pin after 5 years.
But it would be interesting to know how many of these are rotting in distributor warehouses still.

That's rather unfortunate. I guess with that many pins Stern makes, every now and then there is a stinker amongst them.

Do distributors sell on commission and can send them back if they don't sell them or do they have to purchase them for resale?

Quoted from PinMonk:

High volume distributors can probably cut a deal with Stern to mark them down, but that inventory is owned by the distributors when they take delivery. I'm just surprised that hasn't happened. Bally/Williams used to have awesome blowout deals on NIB slow-moving stock just to be done with it. They clearanced Cirqus Voltaire for like $2000ish if I remember right.

Ooof, that doesn't sound like as if small distributors are getting rich from any of that...

Quoted from V8haha:

Let’s start the ninja turtles hype

Was hoping for John wick.

#6288 4 years ago
Quoted from pascal-pinball:

Who’s John Wick?

The Boogeyman, he killed once three people with a pencil. With a f****** pencil! Who does that?

#6290 4 years ago

Open for a poor pinhead to drop by for a game over the holidays? I can bring beer and eggo.

#6292 4 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

If I were you, I’d come play in the arcade legacy tournament next Friday at 7:30pm.

That sounds great, if I'm in town and my wife didn't fill my calendar up otherwise - which she tends to do when I'm off - I'll stop by.

When you earn gold coins you could purchase upgrades, like a stay in the Continental (outlane save), shotguns ( double pop scoring for x seconds), knives ( higher spinner scoring), cocktail at the assassin's bar ( higher jackpot) and so on.
You have to pay the cleaning crew on regular intervals, otherwise points go down on the playfield.
Markers can be modes.
There would be a lot of potential.

#6297 4 years ago
Quoted from J85M:

I think John Wick would work best with a shallower rule set, keep it simple but constant in your face gameplay, no scoops or posts to stop balls.
Ironman on steroids, drop targets mid table to ricochet the ball back at you, magnets to throw it back at you, kick backs to fire your balls back at you.
Have the continental as a physical toy to lock balls, mid playfield drops and magnets would be all the goons and assassins you have to fight and kill, you could collect weapons like in TWD, better weapons give you bigger points or double down shots required to complete modes.
Add some great art and lightshows and it would be an instant buy.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

That sounds spectacularly awesome, but if you don't get that absolutely perfect right, layout wise, you are looking at 17 second ball times like at GB.

I think there is room for at least 3 John wick machines with different toys, layout and rules one for each movie.

Quoted from kell:

Any confirmation on how/if the price increase affects current games?

Anything delivered on/after 01/01/2022 will have same prices as Godzilla now. Cancellations will be accepted.
Until then everything gets a price hike of 200 i think for the Insider connect stuff.
