Notable quotes
“I've been hearing this for months...Keeping a theme quiet is one thing. Keeping people's occupations quiet is quite something else.”
“Have you sold more of the Star Wars pin unit than any other Stern pinball machine? I would say that the answer is they have not sold for us as well as the commercial units.”
“My guess would be Jurassic Park...because when it comes to Jurassic Park, it's heralded as one of the greatest games ever made.”
“They still don't know the price of the kits. And I think Craig Bomby was reporting that they don't know the price of the kits...because of parts delays.”
“I don't understand why the kit price isn't known. I agree. I totally agree.”
“If there is a new layout or theme of the pen...the differential between the pricing on this compared now to a Godzilla Pro is over $2,000.”
“Most collectors don't consider them...They're not commercial-grade pinball machines. They're toys.”
“I don't get it. They still don't know the price of the kits...I think we're going to get a lot more during Expo.”
