Walking Dead Remaster

I read SO much hate on Stern right now and so much love for the boutique brands. Which is hilarious. They're even complaining about reliability and build quality, lol.

SO much hype around games that no one has even played yet. And artwork is super subjective. IMO the BJ artwork looks like a 90's Stern. I like ED the theme, but I would definitely not place any bets on BJ or ED being long term smash hits based on theme OR on the company. Those two companies could mess up many, many things.

The only one I'd bet on is HP. And I'm not really betting on that one, I'm waiting until I have a chance to play one a while, and hoping they come down in price in the long run. If they double in price, well... I don't need one that bad. I think it's the best theme to come out in a long time. Even my wife loves HP, can't say that about any other theme...

A lot of pinball people are fickle and have very short memories. I think most of it is just fueled by speculation - they all want to buy the next game that doubles in value. It's also hilarious how people are upset that they chose to sell their LE at a 4k loss so they could buy the latest and greatest. This is what any reasonable person expected to happen. This is exactly what LE's are designed for, the highest margin. There's a long string of examples of this, and very few where the price actually went up.

Yeah, Stern reruns are kinda lame, I agree. I guess it's far cheaper for them to produce, but I'm usually looking for a new theme that strikes home. Any horror theme isn't an instant love for me, but it is with a lot of pinball guys apparently.
