Ghost Busters - 2016 - would you get it

[ralph67]

Thanks for the info Swinks ,
 Its looks nice so far , i love the slime green artwork
Certainly a different looking game playfield layout , could do well this title.
 I wont be buying one unfortunately.

The dollar is up a little last night , hope this offsets any price increases for those keen on the game and must have one.

Translite is the best piece of artwork related to this title released to date. I wonder if there is any more as yet unreleased to the general public artwork out there?

I hope so too, because given the local distro there sure won't be a decrease.

the rumour from some one very connected is the pro won't have

- the slimer holo
- the swinging proton beams
- the ramp on the rhs won't go beneath the playfield
- the rhs scoop won't be there

figured that the first two would get axed, but bummer about the rhs ramp as would of been cool and the scoop is probably there to in case the ball gets stuck beneath the playfield

The pro would still have asteep ramp and it will dip to playfield level but rise up again but not below the playfield. The pro looks like it will still have the second closer ramp as well as the 2 pop single drop targets which will be good.

now for the bad news, strong rumour is the price is going up a further $500 on the MSRP, would what AMD will do as soon they won't be selling as much, though sure sales must be dropping for them already. Hopefully they will hold back and wear some of the profit for more sales.

Pro - $8650
Premium - $11150
LE - $12850

Well done Swinksy on your efforts for this thread & all the other great threads you do.
It is very much appreciated.

I booked a flight today for a trip to the USA & the Stern factory which I am looking forward to.
I hope to take some great photos with two of the guys I really appreciate which is John Borg & Steve Ritchie plus Gary of course. They have always been more than kind to me over the years & are really down to earth and are always very accessible if you have a question which is great because these guys are busy but they always find time to talk or email their customers. If I get to meet other designers like JT etc that will be cream on top.

Hopefully Ghostbusters will be on the line.
My hope is to take my son to see the Stern factory with me.
That will be a dream come true for the both of us.
I was speaking to AMD yesterday about a few titles & the pricing is not going up at this stage on anything, but it is dependent on what they buy & how many orders they get but they are doing everything they can to keep the prices as low as possible. Let's see what happens.

Martin from Pinball News website has just done a few great articles on a few great Stern titles so I am hoping he gets his usual exclusive scoop on the Ghostbusters title as well cause his reviews are great.

Well done Swinksy on sharing Ghost Busters.

You're a lap dog.  

If you are going to insult someone learn some basic spelling and grammar.  

The two biggest self-proclaimed Stern fanboys on AP and they both missed the boat on the GB leak. Gold!

Apparently the Stern Release date is Feb 14th (Valentine's Day)

"Valentines Day. Bummer."

a while back the rumour was it is going to be released at Australia first with a Sydney pinball comp and Gary will be here - not sure if that is still on the cards but all going well will be Sunday 14th

My initial reaction to this title was not for me, even though I like the movie.
After seeing the "leaks" I must admit it looks very interesting, pf and art sample look great.
I don't like the slimmer LE idea, Staypuft would have been a better choice for mine but that makes the Prem more appealing.
Lets see how the dots, call outs and audio pan out.

[swinks]

rumour is the premium will be available only after the le's sell out and is going to be a Stay Puft

[Cow Corner]

I have no interest in buying one new, it will be on location at Timezone surfers soon enough to test drive.
If it turns out to be a good game in the year or so it will take to complete the code I might source one 2nd hand.
But these price rises...............

INSANITY, You are you insulting members again calling people dogs ! Will you ever just shut up.
Mate, can we move on from the gutter thinking & simply stick to pinball. It was old 6 months ago. Snrrrrrr.

Some of us Stern fans are busy with normal life, we don't monitor our Stern red Bat Phones to Gary every minute of every day !
Sheesh ! Stick to pinball. You are not a little kid anymore.
