Dutch Pinball - 1st Pinball - The Big Lebowski Pinball
« on: October 20, 2013, 08:27:35 AM »
Not alot to advertise here but at the expo were flyers of a pinball drapped with a rug and bowling pins.

www.dudepinball.com

Their website has a countdown timer of 69 days which puts it at the end of this year.

I know there has been a campaign on Pinside to do a Big Lewboski pin but I have never seen the movie, but appears to be big with the guys in the States.

photos of the flyer and girls that handed them out. There is a bit of mystery to who is behind the company, whether it actually be Stern with a hyped launch or a legit new pinball company as Stern are releasing some big news in the next hour so time will tell on this one.

As for Stern, rumours are it could be The Walking Dead or maybe Big Juicy Melons....

A Lebowski pinball would be cool.
Great movie, it has cult status all around the globe and it's one of the coen brothers best films!.
Walking Dead would be cool too, if someone besides from Stern was doing it that is. #@#

You are so good, you should start up a company and give it a go.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.

Sure why not, everyone else is doing it.
Send me a few million $$$ for pre orders on my new original themed pin RIP OFF and I will get to work on it.

You can click on the timer and register for updates, not sure if the wording relates to the movie in question, maybe someone can confirm.

No need to use investor money. Just use the JJP model and take the pre-order $ for a couple of years.

The bottom quote "the dude abides" is from The Big Lebowski. Personally i did not get the movie, it was ok but the following it has seems to be huge.  !@#

Should be interesting to watch this one unfold, not a pin i would buy though.

LOVE the movie and can't wait to see how they implement it as a pinball machine. So many hilarious lines. Not a fan of putting money down and waiting two years though.

Quirky film..funny at times but an acquired taste needed. The film came out in like 97' so I can't see Stern being in on it.

Language warning for the following clip, but this is probably why you won't see Stern release a Big Lebowski pinball machine.

If that's as good as it gets them I truly know why I have never seen it and it must be an "American thing" - 'cause I just don't see the humor in any of that complete rubbish!

Never heard of him, and the video is 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back ! About as funny as an egg fart in an elevator.

Has to be an "American thing".
