Ill put the info here for all to see.
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have sent you the link to our YouTube teaser video for our next game
X-Men. Many of you have told me that the teaser video was great. The game
is even better.
Our X-Men Pinball is based on the Comic Books, which have a tremendous fan
and collector following. The theme and art lend themselves to Pinball. The
art on our X-Men pinball is fantastic, bright, different than any recent
games. This game has a lot of mechanical action, with great devices,
magnets, etc.
We will make X-Men in 3 versions: 300 Wolverine numbered Limited Editions,
250 Magneto numbered Limited Editions, and a Pro model.
I am attaching photos of the 2 Limited Edition models and the Pro, along
with a Features Chart. High res pictures are available at
http://www.sternpinball.com/XMen/XMenPinballPhotos.zip
The game photos show the right side of each game, there being some different
art and characters on the left side. X-Men Wolverine LE has blue trim;
X-Men Magneto LE has red trim.
There are 3 playfield pictures. One is the Pro playfield. Two pictures are
of the LE playfield; one has the right ramp in its normal position, and one
is showing the movement of the right ramp.
X-Men Limited Edition production will begin at the end of June. Pro
production will begin at the beginning of August, timed to reach our export
markets as the September selling season begins. We expect our customers to
order Wolverine and Magneto LE's in equal numbers of each, with one
Wolverine for each Magneto and visa versa.
The Pro price will be unchanged from our last few games. As in the past we
will require a $2,000 deposit for Limited Edition games. We will call you
about the LE price. We will take your requests for specific LE game numbers
and then determine how to satisfy everyone as well as possible, knowing we
will have multiple requests for some numbers. For specified numbers
additional charges will be incurred.
Finally, I am attaching a new MAP and MSRP price list covering this X-Men
model and older models. Our MAP policy remains unchanged.
Already reaction to X-Men Pinball has been tremendous, and I know you will
do great business with this model. Even prior to this correspondence, the
requests for LE models are coming in quickly; I expect we will be sold out
of our LE's in a very few days.
