    OP
    Quoted from MK6PIN:

    You wonder when a true "HUO" machine would be coming, with no coin mechs ( on purpose)?

    Stern Spiderman - Home Edition, I don't think it sold too well.

    OP
    Quoted from MK6PIN:

    odin got me thinking about this last night (yes, I have no life) when he disagreed w people calling pinball machines "toys" in another thread.
    I think his point was very valid, yet many that own these things now only see the money slot as a nostalgic carryover.

    More of a hobby than a toy collection ... just like many analogies could be made. But could just be considered toys by some, I can see their point.

    Quoted from OLDPINGUY:

    What percentage made ships out of the US?
    What does the scene look like in Europe for location Play?

    Gary Stern mentioned that number in a Pinburgh presentation back in 2018. I think he said it was about 40% or so (Someone would have to search for it). NASCAR didn't sell well because it is not popular internationally, so they re-skinned it to be Grand Prix to try to sell some more internationally. Sports themes in general don't sell well.

    Some interesting stuff in that presentation - like they will never do a wide body pin again.

    Jack from Jersey Jack said in one of his presentations at one of the shows that international sales was a pretty significant chunk (if I remember right it was above 30%).
