Highlights
- 90% of Toy Story 4 Collector's Editions were sold to distributors, not direct customers
- Wizard of Woz nearly sank Jersey Jack Pinball due to ambitious scope and light board issues in early production batches
- Pirates of the Caribbean would sell 500+ units if Jersey Jack re-ran production
- Stern is likely to release two more games in the next 3-4 months
- Toy Story 4 is feature-rich with sufficient value for its price despite initial criticism
- Secondary market pricing in Australia, US, Canada, and Europe is rising due to limited new game supply
Notable quotes
“Coding is never done. Yeah, I totally get that now. Absolutely.”
“I started looking at what was actually in the game and what is value for money. And you know what? It's actually there. This game has got a lot of stuff packed into it.”
“90% something like that had been sold to distributors... if they'd said 100% was sold direct to customers, well, then you know that 100% of them are sold. What we don't know now is whether all those distributors have got customers.”
“Is Woz the standard? Because there are companies that are going to be trying to make new pinball machines... It's got to be Woz.”
“It nearly sunk the company, right? So it was very ambitious for a first game. And I think the reason why you probably haven't seen anything as revolutionary as was from any new pinball companies because they probably looked at that case study and said, don't do that.”
“I count five times in the last two months where I've gone about my business and at the end of the day I went, oh, my fly's been undone for the whole day.”
“We actively don't pursue next titles. We don't really want to know. We don't necessarily speculate. But if it comes to us, it comes to us.”
“The market itself has got to become normal. And I just still think we are far away from production being normal.”
“It's this one now that I just play it and play it and play it, I still play it so much that I can't help but think of new things to add to it.”
