hear your take on some of it but before we jump in we've got to kick it over to our number one top stories News correspondent Craig Bobby but some of the stuff we'll have to wait and see oh I see what you did there thank you yes hello and welcome back to the pinball Show's top stories I'm Craig Bobby do you hear that noise do you hear it that's because it's the quiet before the pinball storm as all eyes are watching and waiting for news from the king of all pinball manufacturers Stern Pinball on what their next release might be as people continue to scour the interwebs for some kind of news or rumors of the timing of a new Stern release we have a pinside member named Diablo Rush who caught a glimpse of a soon to be identified pinball Playfield not 15 seconds into a Stern Factory Friday video showing Star Wars machines on the stern production line the unidentified Playfield appears to have at least two Subways and a bank of five drop targets and while this mystery Playfield Still Remains well a mystery the gossip continues around the pinball industry about what the next Stern theme might be or who might be designing it or the coder or the artist or in fact so little is actually known about this next release that it might be one of Stern's most secretive titles to date leaving this reporter and others in the pinball media with no other choice than to say we shall have to wait and see Stern also announced its latest Global online leaderboard challenge for the Keith elwin design classic Avengers Infinity Quest from August 15th through the 31st players can log in with their Insider connector Accounts at home or on location to climb up the ranks follow the action and see who will emerge Victorious and earn those ultimate bragging rights as always Stern will also be running a verified location leaderboard showcasing who is able to take down Thanos and the black order Avengers Assemble [Music] foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] just across the shooter Lane and around the pop bumpers Stearns Chief competitor Jersey Jack pinball was able to squash another brooding rumor recently around what its next upcoming theme might be when hearing the rumor that Jersey Jack may be making a pinball machine themed around the music of Billy Joel many of our listeners scoffed and turned their noses up to that idea but fear not fear not my sources are saying that Jersey Jack pinball does not in fact hold the Billy Joel license and has no plans to make a game themed around the Piano Man himself say what now another gjp news we are hearing very strong incredible rumors that Jersey Jack will be starting their production run of Toy Story 4 Collector's Editions by September this is great news for customers who went in on the CE now as you all remember the Toy Story 4 title was released a little over two months ago way back in mid-june which puts those gorgeous Collector's Editions right on track and on time for their production run and speaking of production runs in case you didn't see it this past week on The Flipping Out pinball stream on Twitch hosting Chicago gaming company's latest game Cactus Canyon remake for the second time as a surprise the stream not only showcased the recent cgc game but also the Elusive and delayed Chopper which will come with the CE plus and Le versions of the game now on the stream cgc's Ryan White stated that the company is aiming to start shipping these much anticipated versions of the game complete with the chopper in approximately 6 weeks from now so much hype and expectation going on this week in the world of pinball but sadly that's all for this week for the pinball show I'm Craig Bobby catch you on the flip side the king of all pinball Nicola Stern Pinball has Keith Elwin put a couple kids through college yet I think so with Godzilla I'm not sure why that game just isn't made non-stop oh God for like two months that's it two months I think you're taking longer than that six months you don't want him to release another game I'd rather get our orders fulfilled wow Nicole when's the next Stern Cornerstone being released you can tell people right here she's looking at me like when is it again no go ahead when's your guess um in like a week really I think you're actually right what do you think it's going to be I kind of feel like it's going to be Venom but that's a rumor what if our guess is right and then we get in trouble why would we get in trouble we have no clue yeah this next Cornerstone is is a big mystery they've kept the lid sealed tight on this bad boy and you'd think we'd know more since they haven't released anything since January in rush rush is another pen that's been trending up lately or they may just say actually the releases we're gonna make more Godzillas that would make everyone happy they've got like three lines they're gonna run both but these people like to hear what is on the line at Stern what's what's been shipping what's coming up so I give them a little run down and you'll start seeing the bills coming in Nicole to pay for Star Wars Pros we're shipping last week and uh shipping again this week as well as premiums premiums are on the line now for Star Wars and then following that again we have Led Zeppelin Pro and premium towards the last week of August that's the last run Nicole last LED Zeppelins we're gonna see and I think we have spots open oh bye bye bye there you go nicely done since we didn't touch on Joe Fox I need to at least say why don't we'd be touching on Joe Fox I don't want to touch on Joe Fox Joe Fox the hell's Joe Fox significantly never even mentioned him and he's a huge buddy of ours yeah he's a good dude I still want to open up a shop in the Northeast see if Joe Fox will run that for us yeah that'd be awesome but as I said the next Stern Cornerstone likely to be announced next week Nicole you're on it there with Pros rolling out of the factory at the end of the month and into the first couple of weeks of September typically we try to take a break before a new Stern release we I think we kind of forgot to do that with school starting back up and everything going on with our new building and other developing business opportunities so buckle in Sally about to be busy again yeah flipping out never ends I'll just do it 24 7. feels like it yeah hell you're missing church today that was a bad use of words with hell and Churchman you know what I mean I watched it online did you have your you watch your Church online that you did interrupt oh with this yes I think God would approve yeah I think God approves me most of my things another last call is Guardians of the Galaxy Pro early September last call are we sold out of those I think we're sold out yeah I think we're sold out of those so that's early September followed by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pro and premium Last Call on those can you believe that's last call they didn't run those very long it didn't seem like I think we still have some spots open on those and then at the end of September it's likely blocked off for the next Cornerstone probably the Le's at that point and October rolls around that's the month of Star Wars comic homepin and the OG Star Wars home pen with again the the October is kind of clear right now besides the home pins so I think the next Cornerstone release we're gonna see in October premiums and then more Pros November is a big question mark here everybody we know that Stern plans on continuing the home pin runs prior to the holiday seasons as they often do in October November so we're going to see some Jurassic Park home pins the month of November but on the schedule for November is also Elvira premium Now more rumor are swirling that Elvira premium gets bumped to next year then there are rumors of it actually sticking to November but then again Stern hasn't told dealers that it's off the Thanksgiving table either so I'm hoping we see a large run of House of Horrors in November and we have an Elvira 40th Edition still in stock we have number 40. I thought we'd open that one up maybe for like a uh our anniversary is coming up here in September yeah maybe we open it for that celebrate it'll be a hell of a celebration great by selling it no no you don't like House of Horrors come on it's number 40. I wonder yeah I wonder what the uh with the custom picture autograph is going to be on that one it's got to be special right can I look I just want to peek and while I'm circling toys in the Toys R Us catalog for a Christmas list I'm hoping we see more Godzilla premiums in November and or December as well I'm pretty sure there is no Toys R Us well no but I'm saying when you were a kid remember those big ass catalogs the Toys R Us and didn't you like Circle the stuff you wanted to give to your parents so they can mail it to Santa did you ever do that yeah yeah exactly we shouldn't make one of those for flipping out and people can Circle the accessories they want and give it to their significant other or their family and say this is what I want for Christmas but they can't Circle Godzilla premium unless they ship them do you think Stern's gonna add another run right now we don't have we haven't been given a Stern production update in quite some time you think they will add another run or two this year still because right now they've got nothing slated for 2022 anymore for Godzilla premium I really don't think so what I wish they would but come on Nicole really doesn't look that way I bet they do I bet they do you may be right but then again they bumped up Turtles out of December into September so now looking at the production schedule for December Nicole there there's no games being produced technically as of current so I'm thinking Godzilla premium then again they open up that hole because a new game and fingers crossed for a holiday season and stockings filled with lizards and the next Stern release after that so we may get two more Stern releases this year do you like your stocking shaken or stirred shaking oh easy what are you asking for for Christmas this year a new custom home um I know what I'm asking for I'm gonna I'm 40th anniversary Elvira oh no no I'm not gonna ask for that I'm asking for apparently I've got to ask for a new building because you're trying to sell where we're living right now on Facebook this week I see you we list our home for sale we just got done with the building yep but we decided we need to be out in the country on a farm we can have chickens yeah what about oh can we have goats yes can I have a screaming goat for real yeah what I want to have a whole Farm can you take care of it I don't want to take care of it on Farmland we might as well have a farm you want more room so we did we did recently purchase nothing anybody cares but we recently purchased some land and we have plans to potentially start all over and build all over again the custom maps growing so when we built our I'm weakening I love where we live now but I think we could use a little more land and just area to grow and we've always wanted and to build a home so we're just excited for this next new adventure ugh you're excited but the one thing I'm not excited about is we have to live in a one bathroom oh gosh while the building and house are being built can we survive a family of six a family of six and like practically three dogs a rabbit you're wanting to stuff us into an old farmhouse we're gonna make so many memories I guarantee you great memories I think people are going to lose their minds realizing that they are going to lose the above ground pool that's become a landmark in this area and we still have friends that come over that are in pinball that take pictures by it kind of like the giant ball of yarn so are we going to are we going to take the above ground swimming pool with us no probably next weekend it was those damn uh metallic epoxy floors wasn't it that was the last straw we were just after that hold the box I don't put epoxy floors like that whatever what is that called I recommend it the flakes are good like on the other no the metallic epoxy is where it's at you know how many people love that when they walk in but it was a nightmare to get done I agree I still love it though we're gonna do it in another place you know what we should do we should have like the city's biggest party before we leave here I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt because it says like I want to be formal right but I'm here to party too because I like to party so I like my Jesus to party so everybody on the podcast who can come I roll test well don't be inviting all these people invite everyone on the podcast I don't know about that wow can we hire a clown to this party mud wrestling a magician you would too fortune teller a fortune teller tarot card reader too we're no hurry to move but we've got the house listed we'll see what happens the cells it sells if it doesn't we may just stay here we'll hang out and then just build our business build whatever we want to yeah somewhere else help everyone help also wanted to update everybody so we don't know anything in 2023 as of yet from Stern Pinball they have not given us that production run or any estimates for next year but if we're talking about Toppers we got to talk about Toppers Nicole we love shipping those things I was looking back at the production schedule for Toppers still no idea or word on the Mando topper rushtop or Godzilla topper nor Rush expression lighting armor shooter we don't know about anything yet but we know that Jurassic Park Toppers have been shipping recently and we have those in stock yeah I think we got a couple of those left I think we're out of the armor though and we have some shooter rods too yeah shooter rods art blades All That Jazz but the Avengers Toppers we have some Avengers Toppers on order and the production schedule said late June early August and we've already passed that so I'm thinking that they're a little bit behind on that hopefully we'll start seeing Avengers Toppers out soon and then everybody wants to know about this Iron Maiden Aces High topper right we've been getting a lot of pre-orders for that thing the schedule says August September but if they're behind on The Avengers I'm guessing well into September uh for the aces high topper if I were a betting man I don't like to bet not much of a gambler it makes me think of that time when your parents took us like we were like 21 they took us to the casino and gave us each a hundred dollars and I think I might have put one dollar in and you kept it yeah your mom was so mad at me because I wouldn't spend it I'm like no like why would I want to just give away a hundred dollars you're like they got free booze around here you just walk around I'm gonna put a dollar in the penny slots man speaking of gambling if I were a betting man I would say that we may see a new spooky pinball machine before the end of the year and I only say that because this last Saturday bug and Luke from spooky pinball held a Saturday morning Spooktacular it was a ton of fun listening to the young bucks do a q a answering all kinds of questions from viewers live on Facebook and some really good info came out of that stream such as there is a new expert mode coming in the next Halloween code update and it's going to focus on young Michael Myers and it's going to utilize the Judith Meyer shot a little bit more they acknowledged more desire for that shot to be used in the game a little bit more because it's that far wide shot with a drop Target it's the one that when you plunge on the skill shot if you can hit it quickly with the left flipper boom and lock that shot you can go into like a two ball multiball so it's that shot so the new code is going to have a little bit more of that new animations are coming as well that they've been talking about I even like that they were talking about the code enhancements for Halloween and Ultraman remember we've talked about they don't they sold out so it's not like they have to continue breathing life into these titles but they did confirm that fallsma is going to continue working on code enhancements for these games for the next year here so I think the game is going to continue to develop quite nicely now the argument it should have been done when the game came out I can't argue with that Greg bone just uh we just sold him a Halloween pinball machine so that means October and Nicole will be reviewing that have you you haven't played much Halloween yet have you no not really do you like the idea of a scary pinball machine because you don't like horror films much no I I don't think so I think I like more like the sweet and like I don't know when they're gonna make a girl machine I feel like we need to get like just a real girly machine like The Notebook with Ryan Gosling something sweet loving every time I walk in and you're watching something on Netflix it's not sweet and loving if anything is a little bit too sweet if you know what I mean and uh and it has a lot of aggression in it and there's always a husband that dies and he's getting murdered because he was cheating on the secretary or something I don't know you watch a lot of that stuff oh yeah actually I've been watching lots of Home Makeover kind of stuff oh makeover oh I see getting prepared I don't know you've been the next step in the past you've got me watching 90 Day Fiance or let's take these two whack a moles and put them together on camera and make them marry each other we even though we know it's not gonna work out and then she has caught me watching it by myself and oh yeah I didn't think you'd like this I'm still waiting for you to apply to big brother yeah I should apply to big brother I don't know if I would make it though you kick ass with that kids and you too much though you're not dramatic enough you're quiet so I doubt that you would make it far though as long as I could do like win things I don't know if you're entertaining enough like they they want somebody that's just yeah I'm definitely nuts I'd have to be I'd be more like Jordan probably oh Jordan yeah that's a it's a deep cut for all of the uh Big Brother fans out there but the reason why she was successful because they had that love story oh does that mean I'll be your GIF they have to put you in there I could be a Jeff couldn't I yeah yeah I think so other news out of spooky pinball Eric Priepke was at the factories uh Saturday when they were doing their Spooktacular he was already working on code for that new game the production update from the team indicated that they are producing about 40 games a week right now that's pretty good 10 games a day and the reason I said I think we'll see another pinball machine from spookies because they said they're going to have all the Halloween and Ultraman games completed by the end of the year possibly even sooner but we're not even a dealer for spooky are we well I guess technically not yet we still spell but we sell people what they want Nicole if they want a spooky game we'll get them a spooky game right yep I did ask in the chat during that Spooktacular said you guys include uh Toppers on all your games like as part of the package it's not an accessory you have to buy which is fantastic that's awesome but do you ever see yourself making an over-the-topper accessory you see what I did there guys over the top over the topper accessory that's even more elaborate than what you put on the more recent titles and selling that as a mod and they said no they have no planes to do that if they make an even more elaborate topper they would just include them with the game as well are you are you a Topper Queen Nicole do you like Toppers or you know when you walk into our game room seeing all those Toppers it's cool yeah I think it makes it look way better if you have I mean if you have one topper then you have to have a Topper on every machine or then it just my OCD would kick in no it doesn't bother me I think it's funny that people family and friends have heard my podcasts or seen videos and stuff and they're always like so so why are these Toppers you know how many people ask about that so what are these Toppers that you I even have I had a dream about that not long you didn't dream about Toppers people were carrying oh my God I'm a midnight they were carrying Toppers were they stealing them it was so weird I have no idea it was like I was at a funeral but then they were carrying on me told me this at a funeral was it oh was it my funeral I don't know whose funeral [ __ ] I just knew I was like at a funeral instead of bringing like meat or cheese or fruit dishes to you all had toppers it was my death I don't know it might have been mine you're dead like in a red dress that was really weird because I would never wear a red dress wow yeah maybe it was my funeral and they were carrying new Toppers oh yeah because they know I'd want Toppers over meat yeah hmm what Toppers were they do you know no I'm joking right by white boxes they were Stern so they were Stern Toppers they were Stern Toppers oh that is the weirdest ass stream you've ever told me telling me wow they even hot me in my trees yeah that's right those Toppers haunt you could you recognize any of the people nope damn I wonder if it was Dennis Crystal maybe it's Dwight Sullivan bringing me the Mando topper oh he's like I know your wife is dead this may help it would not help babe it would be horrible I could have been dreaming about that because lately we've had some creepers creeping ah don't tell people I like stop you on what you tell people we've had yeah we've had a run-in with some yeah stalker-esque people you know that's that's part of the gig I guess I guess don't all pinball dealers this thing's scary I know don't want to hide out we gotta get bigger more secure oh boy she's getting fired up now I gotta get gonna cut her off here Nicole many ladies and gentlemen no I'm joking I always had some weird stuff I mean weird [ __ ] Dennis can't even believe it and Dennis is cool and calm about everything but that's for another podcast someone asked in the chat on the Spooktacular if they were going to do another dual theme again how they came out with Halloween and Ultraman at the same time same game but different art different toys different code you can do that again and they said yeah we're not rolling that out that'll probably happen again but not for the next one so the next one not for that one oh side note I want to thank everybody that reached out to me about uh about the back issues I was having and a lot of people gave me some great advice so I'm very thankful to all of you and and sharing your experiences I'm starting PT today physical therapy I don't think it's going to work but I think that you should just have the surgery you can barely watch I know she wants to put me under the knife people we're wondering what funeral dream you're having it's me I just can't believe that that we're not getting surgery and getting through this we yeah we got a mouse in your pocket I'll be taking care of you oh that's true I already do yeah you barely walk someone start PT and uh I hope you guys are right I get the TENS unit that little thing that shocks the hell out of me out of my butt and my back I get that I don't really think that works but it feels kind of cool so yeah and if that doesn't work then we'll have the surgery or Murray taking care of four kids two dogs a bunny and now Zach so this better work I'm really pumped to see what this next game from spooky is going to be because they were teasing some stuff such as their next game is going to have a record number of sculpts in it I like full games and I've been digging spooky games lately I don't know like who my favorite is um who your favorite one my favorite manufacturer well don't say it here geez you need to be like Gary Stern your favorite game is the one on the line who is your favorite though you can tell me I'll edit it out okay that's who I would have guessed our buddy uh bug over at spooky pinball he's going to be a Chicago pinball Expo we're gonna go this year to Chicago aren't we yeah yeah flipping the flipping the script on autism we're helping with that as well uh should be positioned probably close to our booth and close to the TPM Booth with loser kids we're doing a fundraiser for autism and there's going to be some cool interviews and I think I'm going to be a part of it for something I don't know what they got me doing but we'll be there that's usually my favorite show you do like Chicago Expo don't you it's just that's where most of our friends are we always like Texas too though yeah Chicago's my favorite but Texas is good too I'm I'm probably equally if not more pumped for Cincinnati this year oh yeah I do love that growing show with our buddy Chuck work and Spooky's gonna be there as well the whole team's going to be there at uh at Cincinnati in early December so make sure you get your tickets to that we always set up that's one of our large shows so we've set up a big booth at Pennsylvania we'll do that again this year hopefully we'll have some help though some hired help if anybody's going to Pennsylvania and they want to make some money setting up sitting in Booth breaking down we're always looking for help yeah same for Chicago Expo I think Louisville shows in March so we got a little bit of time for that that's another big show we do and last year I believe American pinball had their Legends of Valhalla at a dealer Booth I believe they did a Cincinnati I don't know if they're going to be there this year but on the line right now is Oktoberfest Classics remember that game with Otto and the beer yeah I remember when it first came out and um the guy wore the little suit the whole normal yeah yeah he wore the yeah I remember that that was an interesting marketing idea it was cool I liked it yeah that was uh yeah we did filming for Oktoberfest that's right but they're still making them we have we are gonna have some in stock right all right we'll wait until we get to that part of the show but yeah Oktoberfest Classics are coming off the line and into dealer showrooms as we speak what will now be coming off the line over at Jersey Jack pinball Craig Bobby dropping dropping some Bombs over here during his top stories he talked about the idea that some people have that Jersey Jack pinball is going to be doing a pinball machine themed Around Billy Joel The Piano Man himself [Music] with Steve Ritchie as lead designer but he poo pooed that and he said it doesn't sound like that's true based on what he's hearing are you a big Billy Joel fan [Music] um hard to say not much of a Billy Joel fan and I'm okay with that as well you'd know Billy Joel's music if I played it you'd know Billy Joel's music but for pinball yeah I'm kind of glad Craig's saying this isn't going to be true shake and bake also talking about Toy Story 4 CES going on the production line by September we're getting a CE so I'm pumped right now Joel ready right now Joel's done I'd be more ready for a few less we still need some more Le's jjp people are waiting we got to get through the Ellie's real quick though yeah CES I think we've got a couple spots open for CE still we're getting one in our collection I'm stoked because Joel ingleberth who streams for flipping out pinball has our Le right now and I miss it I really missed that game yeah I know our kids miss it too I forgot to ask about Joel what do you think about how's Joel doing over at flipping out streaming that was awesome yeah he's got a podcast and everything right amazing with with Tom and Travis have you heard that have you heard of triple drain not yet not yet like you're going to now you're just going to start now yeah I'll check it out I didn't know about it really will you it's on tpn the pinball Network you watch this I see streams more often yeah you watch the stream of Joel and I yep blow up some Toy Story didn't you we gave away some stuff and we got BD and Bill oh nicely done it's a good transition speaking of BD and Bill they they had your buddy Ryan White on from Chicago gaming company to the flipping out streaming Channel last week and he gave away some really cool stuff for Cactus Canyon some prototype pieces and that was just a fun stream because he brought an Ellie to show off the topper to show off the uh integrated topper mode that you play and I think we cut a video on demand or a VOD uh on Flipping out's YouTube you can go check that out if you want to see how that topper works the rules behind it as such as well as another video of people winning some of those prizes by calling in and giving their best imitations of a Cactus Canyon remake call out yeah and it's always nice when the manufacturers give out stuff instead of out of our pocket or Zach that's all he loves to do give away everything babe I'm a giver you know it's nice that Ryan took one for the team and it wasn't us those things were Priceless too we give away stuff we have to buy but yeah we can't come up with things that uh like that those are Priceless pieces Ryan did say during that stream that everybody's wanting to know where the Le games are where's the Cactus Canyon remake Ellie's or SC pluses with the Toppers we know that they were they've been delayed because uh getting some of the parts for the topper but he said they're looking at about six weeks should be hitting the production line in six weeks good thank God we're ready I'm ready for some of these machines to come out a little faster thanks coven think by now things would be catching up no they're not they're actually I've been talking to manufacturers Nicole this is I don't know if people care to hear this but um they're still struggling with like boards and chips and stuff like that they they don't see this being rectified even until next year it gets still going to be an ongoing issue so frustrating maybe we should go in the business of making boards no no we definitely shouldn't do that you're you're she's always talking about like you're always talking about going and doing something else too you're always well you're like oh let's go into manufacturing let's start our own pinball company and all of these listeners can tell you that's a crazy wild idea yeah I'm just ready to do another business I think it's time maybe we can make Toppers maybe a clothing line merch does so well in pimple yeah right merch is like let's drain you yeah that's all you try to sell it that's right well I could maybe we take this show behind a paywall you think that would work five dollars a month no I can't I like that free so you like the free thing a highlight for me not even for this stream but for just history sake and pinball was a story I contacted Josh Sharpe who is helping on the extended or expanded code that's going to release in the future for Cactus Canyon remake I don't know if you heard this Nicole but he was giving me some info that I could use for some of the giveaways like what's Josh Sharpe's favorite call out on a cgc remake game and such but he told me a story that we fit into one of the giveaways that like sent Goosebumps down my spine and it was about the late the great one of his best friends Lyman sheets it was so cool because either that one of the last things they were working on was a specified call out and sequencing of Lights a pinball moment if you will like like no other in my opinion but they were just having fun and he said you know if anybody's familiar with the game the the early 2000 Stern game Terminator 3 with one of your favorite people Arnold Schwarzenegger you love Arnold I love Terminator too I know you love Arnold Terminator and then Terminator too yeah but on that game there's a call out that people love in pinball and it's right before you plunge Arnold says shoot here and then a part of the Playfield lights up and he says oh here and part of the Playfield lights up it's just it's phenomenal it's funny uh it's quirky and amongst pinball people you just kind of love it Judgment Day shoot here and here so Josh came up with the idea him and Lima were [ __ ] and they were like we should do that for Cactus Canyon but have Bart uh the the main antagonist in in the game we should have Bart say shoot here and here and light up parts of the Playfield and here and here and here and light them all up which is like such a cool tribute to that old game Into The Nostalgia of pinball players in general and then without skipping a beat freaking Lyman jumped in cracking up barely being able to breathe because they were laughing so hard said yeah and we should also make Bart say but not here and light the outlanes up oh how great is that the late lime machine there Josh said that I think I can share sorry if I can Josh um he said that that's still a goal it's a work in progress but he said he would love to see it he don't know if it'll make it in the final product but he would love to see that just because it holds such a special spot in his heart to remember his friends so and a lot of a lot of cool stuff coming from this game and I appreciate Josh being willing to to share that with everybody it's awesome all right listener Nicole it's time to hit people with some tenacious energy these people come for entertainment but they stay for the facts and numbers don't lie on everyone's favorite pinball podcast segment let's see what you got in ball Market too no you're gonna say with like more you gotta say it with your chest come on get it get down deep find that passion Center a little bit higher I'm just not the same as you I'm like the the kind sweet quiet what's the how does that mean Zach's more like the loud obnoxious what give it one more rip and I promise that I'll use my bath towel a couple days instead of a new one every day and no snoring snoring and no I can't control the snoring it's not my fault pinball market trends there you go turning up this week is Indiana Jones the pinball Adventure by Williams back in the 90s some of these classic 90s games are creeping up on me I forget about them and then I go back to comp them out and would you tickle my pickle this thing is north of ten thousand dollars typically right now if you want to find a good example of an Indiana Jones and pinball Adventure you're looking at twelve thousand dollars in that range that's what Grandpa used to say that's nuttier in the squirrel turd man isn't that endearing twelve thousand dollars for Indiana Jones the pinball Adventure some of these old 90s like we were talking about last week the the theater of magic they have not been hit by the the softening of the market they just have it they're holding steady if not continuing to Trend up also training up this week is Tom Drummond you know who Tom Drummond is he's a bassist for Better Than Ezra one of Nicole's favorite bands no clue I know Tom Drummond getting hit by the pinball bug over the last I know that song yeah so you know this song it's a good song you love the 90s so this is your jam but Tom Drummond with better with Ezra has been hit by the pinball bug over the last couple years so much so he's gone all in he's built a large Personal Collection complete with Toppers and mods he's a mod guy he's even filling up the entire area of New Orleans with location games so I had to give it up this week to Tom Drummond and the cherry on top of the Sunday is the game that made him stop in his tracks and Cannonball off the high dive was none other than stranger things [Music] Stern Pinball remember Nicole the the game that everybody cramped on and said I shield for but then he realized how awesome it is another calling and begging us for one we don't have any that game what's Better Than Ezra stranger things pinball she jumped bless you Thomas bless you also training up this week I gotta trained you up Nicole for dealing with my Shenanigans for dealing with my [ __ ] for taking care of this business taking care of this family for going to pinball shows going to photo shoots with me man you really want that Elvira 40th I do what did Elvira 40th but that's besides the point it is kick ass having you as a part of this so I have to Trend you up you're always training up in my heart and in on see you're here I can't say bad things I can't say the same though for Guardians of the Galaxy Pro training no chill out Guardians is not trending down it's all of the Guardians of the Galaxy Pro ads that have gone up for sale over the past week listen people if you want to sell a game that hasn't been produced in a while you gotta have better time management better planning time management you're the one to talk you want to do this segment or you want me to okay my point is the next run of Guardians of the Galaxy Pro is going to be here in September so no one's gonna jump on a used one that's a thousand dollars over over MSRP of a new one it's not gonna happen come on you want to make that kind of Bank on Guardians of the Galaxy you're gonna have to wait until December maybe hit a holiday Shopper or into March that's when you're going to see the most return on profit for Guardians of the Galaxy use your head people they haven't been making LED Zeppelins in forever why don't you go ahead and try to sell one of those in the next couple weeks too or better yet your Star Wars premium go ahead and try to sell that right now timing is everything people speaking of timing also trending down this week a super hoop pinball by quetzel pinball I gotta train this thing down this thing is trending so far down it might be training dead we have not heard about this pinball machine in six to 12 months we don't I don't even think we know how much it costs we don't know where to buy one is this project gone is it over with I know the coin taker was going to be selling these I went to the cointaker website I didn't seem list it for sale so a mystery surrounds this quetzal pinball super hoop maybe they realized it wasn't it's just not going to sell that well but hey for all of you super hoop fans out there Don't Kill the Messenger because this is just me reporting the
