Triple Drain Pinball Podcast Ep 53: Black, White, & Travis Is Late
riple Drain Pinball Podcast Episode 53: Black, White & Travis Is Late Hosts: Joel Engelberth, Tom Graf, & Travis Murie WE ARE BACK! Sorry for the delay but life gets busy and pinball news was...
Highlights
- Godzilla black-and-white premium is essentially the same artwork as LE but uncolored, at $4,000 cheaper
- Godzilla black-and-white has no time-release or production limit, will remain available 'as long as there's demand'
- Godzilla is 'one of the best selling games of all time' for Stern
- John Wick has AI-based enemy placement mechanics that adjust difficulty by blocking shots
- Insider Connected badges drive repeated gameplay: Travis turned around from work to complete Wic contracts
- Jurassic Park 30th and Elvira Blood Red Kiss were highly limited and sold out, creating secondary demand
- Expression light kits are in high demand but potentially not regularly in stock at distributors
- Jersey Jack and Spooky games feature RGB color GI; Stern has never implemented RGB GI bulbs
Notable quotes
“as long as there's demand, we'll keep putting it out”
“I'm getting to a point where like I don't want to buy the limited editions anymore because I don't know if in a couple of years they're going to come out with an addition I might actually want to buy for a cheaper price tag”
“it's going to be a long tail sell. It just is... they all like I know. So spoiler alert, all the ones out there right now have color on it.”
“If you're totally guided by money right, on your money purchase and all that, again, probably not the right hobby for you in terms of getting new in-box pens.”
“you essentially you just lean into using the enemies. You don't even worry about them. You want them out there now.”
“it's addicting... I'm addicted”
“does it make money yes if it makes money and it's profit then yeah i would say it's probably worth it”
“until Stern goes to RGB GI, which they've never done, as far as I know, all there if they have color GI, it's because like Godzilla has white bulbs and red bulbs”
