Quoted from yancy:Designers & artists don't leak games. All these Jaws puns & jokes from KME & ZY mean you guys aren't getting a shark game anytime soon.
Next level trolling from these guys. *tips cap*
jaws-19-back-to-the-future-part-ii (resized).jpgQuoted from PinMonk:I personally saw it on 3 machines we had on location and promptly made a how-to video here on pinside to show people how to spend $25 to preventatively upgrade their leg brackets to prevent it from happening.
I can let my fingers do the walking and search Pinside, but if you have that video easily-accessible, I'd love it.
Quoted from mrclean:Cool, I'm down with the BTTF SLFCE
Back To The Future Super Limited Flux Capacitor Edition...Of which I predict 88 of them.
Likely to include a piece of stainless steel from the on screen Deloreon.
Guessing $12,500 MSRP with a Pinside price of 20k...
I can't wait to hoard the toppers for this thing.
Quoted from PBFan:What is it that is driving this that so many people would put an LE deposit down sight unseen based solely on Theme?
No way I'd put down money at the time of announcement.
I'm totally waiting to see where it lands on the Pinside Top 100 first.
Quoted from PinMonk:Movies aside, Pirates is one of the key attractions at Disney, still. Has been for decades. Avatar (movie or attraction) isn't even in the same league.
I'm with you 100%, but when we were at Disney World last February, the standby line for Avatar Flight of Passage was four hours.
Given the choice between a dream theme that plays like a "6" and a kick-ass game with a crap theme that plays like a "9" or a "10", I'll take the latter.
Get the gameplay right, and I'm a potential buyer...theme be damned. This is a new development for me.
Good work by Stern to keep this under wraps. I went back and searched this thread - there were only sporadic mentions by people saying they'd like a Mandalorian pin...but nobody was really suggesting it was a possibility until three weeks ago. Impressive.
Not sure how to square this with all the confidence about rumored upcoming pins people are positive about:
- Back to the Future
- Jaws
- Godzilla
If Mando didn't leak...why would these?
Quoted from PanzerFreak:There's been price increases by Stern for literally years and it hasn't resulted in more features. Actually there's been cuts in features and hardware designs to save on costs.
A popular trend in the consumer product world over the past 15 years is something called "shrinkflation." Companies keep the price the same, but sell you a smaller package of goods. In my day, you got a full half-gallon of ice cream (2 quarts) at the grocery store. For a while it was 1.75 quarts and today it's 1.5 quarts.

Getting less while also paying more is an added kick to the nuts.
If my love for the hobby was guided by my head, I'd be backing away. Alas...
Quoted from YeOldPinPlayer:Your example doesn't make sense.
If you used to pay $1 for a half gallon, then you paid $1 for 1.75 gallons, and now you pay $1 for 1.5 gallons you're getting three times the amount of ice cream for the same price. Ok, you could complain you're not getting 1.75 gallons any more but you're not getting less than you got back "in my day". And you're not paying more in your example.
Yes, I screwed up the units in my example. I suck. I edited the post for clarity. I just find the idea of marketers using psychological gimmicks interesting. "We could raise our prices...or, we could keep the prices the same and give the customer less stuff!"
Stern is probably doing a bit of both.
That being said, I still find the games incredibly enjoyable and I'll probably continue to buy.
Quoted from Xdetroit:This is what’s been predicted. $500 on pros, $1,000 on premiums. I heard LEs are +$1,000-$1,500
Yes! I've now been into pinball long enough that I can bitch about how much better prices were "back in my day!"
Quoted from RobF:A pokemon game where Insider Connected could store saved game states (characters collected, previous trainings, completed battles, etc) would be a huge hit.
I realize this post happened two pages ago, which is forever here, but this idea really resonates with me (a poor pinball player).
What if Insider Connected offered this option for any game? Continuing from where your last game ended or loading a prior saved game (to me) would be a really cool feature. As games get more complex, this would allow location players to experience some of the deeper modes in a game and might encourage more interactions.
Even in the home environment, this has some interesting applications. For example, the two modern pins in my collection both have play elements that are fun, interesting, and challenging but I don't get to them all that often. Imagine picking up Jurassic Park (Limited Edition) at the Spinosaurus paddock; or beginning a game of
Deadpool (Pro) with Sauron already activated. I don't want to do this all the time, but as an added gameplay option, this would be fun.
The best part about enabling such a feature is that it doesn't impede people experiencing the game as the designers imagined it. If you want to play for scoring and start at the beginning, you can do that. It's the best of both worlds. Would there be extra programming involved? Probably. Hopefully not too much, though.
Anybody have George Gomez's phone number? I'll give him a call.
Quoted from beelzeboob:Thanks a lot. On top of everything else I have in my room of to-read books, you just added one that I haven't read in 40 years and have to read again.
You clearly are a person of refinement and someone with impeccable taste.
