Quoted from Coz:

Steve Ritchie’s next pin or fake pic?

Quoted from Roostking:

Only downvoted because I dont see how it would make aesthetic sense to have the 2 squished into the white portion of the lighting bolt, while the 2 00's take up to entire lighting bolt almost. Have you seen the original and are referencing that?

Quoted from Goronic:

Just saw the Stringer Things 3 Trailer! Man I sure would like Stern to do a Stranger Things pin. The music selections played in the ST3 trailer where awesome! That theme music along would be hype in the game too

Quoted from TheCoinSlotTC:

Already paid in full blind?

Quoted from Whysnow:

I dont think anyone really cares?
Just a matter of pinball nerds talking pinball nerd things.

Quoted from screaminr:

Then why did Stern buy Godzilla so spooky couldn't make it

Quoted from screaminr:

Until they show a new pin what else is there to talk about

Quoted from Whysnow:

could work it in trade for a nice Creech, but zero interest in selling at this time.

Quoted from Pinballer67:

I think what we're witnessing is a greater evolution of the home use vs. location games discussion.
The backbone of Stern's business model is their insider network of distributors and location games. This probably guarantees them sales of xx amount right off the bat, sight-unseen. Like the current rumored Stranger Things.
Rick & Morty was a different situation, mostly home use. It evaporated because it appealed to Pinheads for reasons of theme, Danesi, callouts from the creator of the series, and the seemingly awesome and funky PF layout.
Most of us on Pinside are home users/hobbyists.
Perhaps it would be more realistic to compare sales to home users/hobbyists for titles to get a better idea of market share for home users? Anyway, we'll never know because Stern doesn't divulge actual verifiable sales figures. I suspect they would be over the moon happy with a 3,000 sold title...and that would be A+. Jurassic Park 2. I'm pretty sure some sell under 1,000 - even with those "blind" purchases by operators.
Operators seem to purchase sight unseen. Those purchases would be less based on Pinhead Cred for "Title xx." but would bump Stern's sales numbers.
