I was terrified as a kid. Had to ask my Dad to take me out. I though the water was going to come out of the screen and flood the cinema.
Taking preorders for the unofficial unlicensed 18’ topper……. 
It is here:
No expense spared....
Joking apart I think this rethemed Fish Tale looks good!

Think this is the same guy that does awesome custom artwork. His Monster Bash has a Universal Classic Monsters theme and it's black and white - looks amazing.
Restored By Scott is the guy who makes the playfields.
He did my BSD.
KJS uses RBS (Restored by Scott) for the playfield printing/restoration.
No I don't use Restored by Scott for a long time now and for good reasons.
Direct printed playfields are way way better.
Next retheme in progress...will update when done. Currently doing a better Dracula Gothic version with updated real playfield and lots of special additions. I miss that game...!

More than likely, Seth needs to prove he hasn't sailed the ship into an iceberg, putting Jaws out will 'hopefully' cover other mistakes made with the shareholders. They need to generate income for the US distributors as they are holding far too much stock which isn't selling.
Quite ironic that they are pushing Jaws out as the lifeboat to help keep things afloat !!
Exactly this 
The Stern ship is sinking and although Jaws may be a short term bail out it’s going down.
Moving to a new factory and ramping up production is not the smartest thing to do in this current financial climate.
Chucking out Blood Elvira’s and JP anniversary edt are all indicators of money grabs to keep the shareholders happy.
However there are only so many buyers who can keep gobbling up NIB games and eventually it will be the distributors that will suffer on the front line.
The Bubble has burst, more manufacturers on the scene and prices going one way! The wrong way!
I’m sitting this madness out and enjoying what I have while enjoying what the used market has to offer.

There are currently a lot of diverse industries still riding the covid gravy train, Stern ( Electrocoin ) are one of them. Excuses for shipping costs and price of parts via suppliers is wearing thin. They are sat on huge mountains of depreciating stock that they hoarded and need to offload. It's driving competition and prices are falling. A lot of them will disappear into the abyss.
Look at the historical global price index for most things and it shows costs did peak during the covid pandemic, now they have largely fallen back to pre-pandemic + .
It's a race to the bottom, Jaws, Godzilla Anniversary, Elvira Blood will generate short term gain, ultimately out pricing your core customer base only leads to one thing,,,, bankruptcy.

This will be the longest time Keith's had to work on a game since maiden, can't believe it's over 2 years since Godzilla. I'm wondering if that extended period of time will lead to his best game yet or if it's been too much time to overthink and tweak too much?
I'm assuming Stern will go back to 3 cornerstones next year and with no Gomez design, the Elwin train will come around much quicker next time.

I’m in the classics train atm.Stern maybe heading for a tough time, i just want jaws to be real pleeeeeeaseeee!! before it all goes tits up lol, but you're on the spooky train... good luck with that to
Scooby is my last NIB even if Jaws has a Meglodon jumping out of the playfield surrounded by rising pop bumpers that descend after so many hits. And a full blown sinking ship while a buoy clangs a bell AC/DC style.
At 13k I wait till the market floods like GZ and nab one at a sensible price.

I suspect Stern will be okay, they're comparatively cheap in the US.
However, looking at the American Pinball tour and the attention to detail and love of manufacturing they have, it's clear the bar is being raised with a few of these boutique companies.

I also think it’s a sign of the times when they having to run adverts on their pins saying why not buy one for your home, it’s fun for all the family.
I guess it plants a seed when casual players in arcades see them and someone in marketing got brownie points for the idea.
What’s next direct sales maybe.

Might as well, we fix them ourselves anyway!What’s next direct sales maybe.
^^^ like we don’t have enough ads…
The annoying family members doing faux fist pumps is so irritating
