hey John
yes I will be there 2010 thats for sure
Stern are very interesting to say the least , anything to keep going from what I see .
I understand what they are doing small runs of pins , only to order , keep costs down and keeps stock holdings down . It is a very tough market in the USA at the moment .
still I do hope they continue as we really need a company making machines as I just cant see anyone else making new models and keep doing it
one of here or there isn't manufacturing . when you do it for a living and 24/7 then it is . but then too everyone has to start somewhere .
stern have some interesting titles coming up and are working with many different people to try and make some more interesting titles , good on them for trying .
I / we will support Stern as much as we can , we have 33 LOTR le already and are about to order batman , 24 , csi , spiderman and .... . prices here in Australia will only come DOWN as our dollar gets better and more people sell Stern NIB. Normal Stern titles will hopefully be around 7 - 7.5 K or less ( bar limited editions ) , give me a few weeks to work the price out
we also plan to carry hundreds more stern parts , of course this will take time as we have years worth of work ahead with sorting all the IPB parts .
as for the printer I am unsure . maybe others here can say ?
