  • Spooky prices remain under $10,000 while producing complex toppers and mechanisms; Stern toppers cost $1,500-$1,600+

  • Don joined Spooky Pinball and moved from Bellingham, WA to Benton, WI approximately one month before this recording

Notable quotes

“It went from being a Hallmark movie to a Lifetime movie... the tone got somber because as soon as they were sold out they called it... the phones didn't stop for hours”
Don
“If they added 200 more games, then we would be out into 2027 building Beetlejuice, and the next game would get pushed back. Nobody wants that.”
Don
“I'm so tired of Stern saying it's license's fault. This topper, license's fault. The price, license's fault... I think Stern uses the licensor thing too much.”
Genghis
“You can get this Collector's Edition for $9,999. You can get this amazing topper for $1,500... Somebody's lying.”
Genghis
“When they release it, I'm trying to think of reasons not to buy it because I am already preconditioned to want it. And I've got this money... I'm lacking information.”
Genghis
“They should be seeing him everywhere. And then he's nowhere. Where is he? Where's his content?... Jack Danger should be leading the charge on this.”
Genghis
“Metallica remastered was a complete re-imagineering of the entire art package... If they do this to Walking Dead, hell yeah! And then we get the letterbox...”
Genghis
“Imagine being in that spot like, I can get one of these. Which one do I get? And if your one game that you purchased was X-Men... now it's like lost a ton of value.”
Don
