Highlights

  • Mandalorian Premium is out of stock at Stern Pinball with no future production planned for at least two years
  • Rush Pro has only 2 units left at Stern Pinball inventory
  • 14 different game SKUs are currently unavailable for dealers to purchase from Stern
  • Jaws Premium scheduled for June production with potential 50th anniversary announcement on June 20th, 1975 (film release date)
  • Foo Fighters game has been vaulted and accessories (Expression Lighting, shooter knobs) will not be reproduced
  • Star Wars Episodes 1-3 is rumored as next Cornerstone but host Dennis dismisses this as unlikely due to poor film quality
  • King Kong Pro/Premium sales trajectory mirrors Jaws trajectory from previous year despite rhetoric that Kong 'can't sell'
  • Metallica Remastered Expression Lighting System has been chronic backorder issue with incomplete fulfillment
  • Stern is producing King Kong Premiums for locations before King Kong Pros, reversing their typical release order
  • Godzilla 70th Anniversary accessories (topper, armor kits) will not be reproduced as it was an anniversary-limited edition

Notable quotes

I shit you not, Dennis. It worked. And it still has worked. I don't know how. I guess it was certainly more durable and beefier than a little rubber O-ring.
Host (Zach)
Mandalorian Premium, it's already gone. Already out of stock at Stern Pinball. Stern Pinball, you're not going to see another one leave that factory for at least two years, if not forever.
Host
Metallica Remastered Expression Lighting System has kind of been the bane of my existence in the accessories world right now.
Host
What's black and white and red all over come June 20th? Do you think it would do well, a 50th anniversary?
Host
Episodes 1 through 3 are not good. Why would you do it?
Dennis
If you're wanting to get your Foo Fighter accessories, especially the expression lighting and shooter knob, get them now. Stern is out...I do not see them running these accessories again.
Host
I think it's going to come out. It is going to sell well because it's going to be that pushing point for anybody who has not purchased a Jaws...And then the color version will have a little bump in sales.
Host
if it's not episodes one through three, maybe it's just the Cornerstones just themed around Darth Vader himself
