Highlights

  • Steve Ritchie designed Led Zeppelin with only $3,000 bill of materials budget from Stern, limiting his playfield design to left side only
  • Mandalorian pinball is unsellable and unmovable in the market despite good theme
  • Star Wars (Stern 2017) is the worst game Stern has ever made
  • Guns N' Roses multiball activates approximately 98% of the time in gameplay
  • Dune pinball was released approximately six months before code/screen content was license-approved
  • Evil Dead pinball retails under $10,000 but commands $15,000-$16,000 on the used secondary market
  • Jaws Pro version is very sparse/empty compared to Limited Edition with minimal features
  • Lord of the Rings secondary market prices reach $10,000-$12,000, affecting value perception

Notable quotes

“Star Wars is the worst of the worst... It's my favorite theme but it's the worst game they have ever made”
Retro Jango
“Mandalorian is a bad game. Nobody wants it. Nobody buys it. It's unsellable.”
Retro Jango
“Led Zeppelin has only things on the left side of the playfield, the right side is empty... he got so angry”
Retro Jango
“Dune... just came out like six months too early... they need the money so for me it's a fine game”
Aslan
“Evil Dead costs under 10,000 and on the used market people want to pay 15,000, 16,000 for this game. It's incredible.”
Retro Jango
“If the theme sucks then I don't care about anything else... Beatles has great shots and layout but who wants to listen to that music”
Retro Jango
“Foo Fighters is an S-tier game and I mean it. Nobody will say it's an S-tier game.”
Retro Jango
