Even though the conversation doesn't match the threads title.lol I wanted to add something after seeing a cartoon tonight. The cartoon was Star Wars. The point I was going to make is that if u market something properly, it will keep selling year in and year out. Star Wars (the entire franchise of movies n toys n cartoons n spin off series etc) from 1978 is a example. It's been marketed and sold now successfully for 36 yrs.
Gary Stern has been marketing pinballs for just as long, and prob will for another 20 years etc, so the marketing means pinball has followed Star Trek. If u keep marketing it, it will keep selling. Pinball will never die whilst people keep marketing it. Gary Stern is the George Lucas of pinball if u get my meaning. Where would modern Star Wars be without George lucases vision. Same for pinball in my mind with Gary Stern who has kept pinball alive and now growing worldwide.
If one person can make such a huge impact on a industry like the two great gents above have, imagine what positive pinball forums and word of mouth do to help pinball sales. Anyway. Lol
