Combine them and do "Ow! My Spaceballs!"

At some point they simply have to do a special Black Knight Flail of Rage edition, but this time the Black Knight toy will be swinging a sword.

(Sorry - couldn't resist. I'm quite thrilled with my Premium and that there is finally a 3rd game in the series - something I never thought would ever happen after Williams shut down its pinball division.)

Jar Jar Binks Home Edition. LOL (if you can at the mere thought of it.)

"... announced today the Star Wars™ Pin™, a new stylish, affordable and fun pinball machine designed and engineered for the home."

Such a deal! Usually you only get two out of the three at best.
(Sorry ... couldn't resist poking the marketingspeak: I would think/hope that "fun" was already covered by the word "pinball.")

There's that marketingspeak again: "We release vault editions, private label machines, comic editions, reruns and home models in addition to our 3 cornerstone machines a year. When you look at the total amount of titles, variations and themes released in a year, its (sic) actually much more than 3!"

So 3 + more > 3. Wow. First sentence of the two by itself would have been a perfect response. Who writes this stuff? The Department of Redundancy Department?

Somewhere deep in the uncharted jungle ...

Headhunter A: “I really hate my mother-in-law.”
Headhunter B: “Then just eat the vegetables.”

Why Soitenly!!!

- License Jump N The Saddle’s tune The Curly Shuffle in addition to the Stooges’ traditional music
- make sure you include a Curly wooboowooboowoobooboo hurry-up

Maybe it be A Christmas Story. With things like:

- single, double, and triple dog dare jackpots
- Bumpus hound pop bumpers
- Successfully completing a mode earns you another character saying "You'll shoot your eye out!" in addition to the points, etc.
- "Shoot Your Eye Out" wizard mode - success earns you the Major Award (leg lamp)
- Tilt yields Ralphie saying " ohhhh fuuuuuudge."
- Scut Farkus and Grover Dill taunt the player throughout

Did Thing have a hand in it?

Looks like the Premium is the entry-level model (at least for this one) - and both the Premium and Limited Editions come with a nice little MSRP increase.
Can only imagine what the Signature Edition call-for-price is and how it will compare to Batman '66.

Yeah, I should have made it clear I wasn't comparing it to buying a Tesla.

So how about we just compare its MSRP against the MSRPs of Stern's most recent Premiums and Limited Editions like JP and BKSOR?
And - unless Stern has not increased prices to their distributors - anyone want to bet against a reasonably corresponding increase in street price too?

The middle ground for me is things that are “only pinball licenses.” Not a movie, TV show, Broadway production or a rock band. No matter what you think of the game, Stern just did it with BKSOR. It’s a license they had to get, but it only exists in the pinball world. So I’d be happy to see something like a High Speed III. Both are titles that can stand on their own, yet are fairly timeless. I think that’s the closest we’re likely to get to a truly original game theme from the big players for a good while. At the same, I’d love to be totally wrong about that in the good direction.

So as of today with the way the world is, what do folks think will actually be the next couple of games from Stern when things finally do start starting back up? TMNT? What else? Or instead? Not games/themes we’d like to see, but games we think will actually be next.

Ah yes ... the ol' Bonus Plan: Now when we bend over the machine to play, they bonus.

You'll use it.
