A bit of a risk blind bidding on that. Don't even know if there are any boards on the backbox. Sure is a project.Excellent description in the auction details.![]()

Data East The Simpsons Pinball Machine | eBay
The machine is infull working order and currently set tofree play, so no coins are needed to enjoy it.www.ebay.co.uk
I like the look of it but I can’t find any recent sales to help me align price expectations for this. I’m guessing not too expensive since Stern TSPP is a lot more popular. (I think the super early artwork on the Data East game is kind of cool though, a fun relic of early Simpsons-mania!)
It was initially 2800, then he either had a rethink or some smart **** told him to price it higherStarship Troopers you maggots! Facebook 3.4k

I love X-Files, Goldeneye, Frankenstein,Independence Day, Godzilla amongst other Sega games. Everyone has different favourites which is one of the things that keeps this hobby interesting .I'm going to be controversial and say Starship Troopers is the ONLY good Sega game
(before the Baywatch people get upset, Baywatch was designed by and made entirely out of Data-East parts, with a Sega logo photoshopped on)
Starship Troopers is actually the game that got me into pinball. they had one at St Annes pier that I would play weekly. I though the moving target and the popup-brainbug was amazing back then![]()
I'd have it if it didn't have that gross second right flipper.SST now up for 2800
How is it gross?I'd have it if it didn't have that gross second right flipper.
I'm biased due to OCD - something to do with symmetry. I don't like any extra flippers at the best of times.How is it gross?
I quite like the addition of it , keeps you on your toes and iirc you score double or kill double aliens or something when you make a shot with it ??![]()
So *that's* what it's for - always been curious.How is it gross?

Yeah - because though the machine rewards this based on the switch activation you can cheat it by just hitting the flipper button regardless of whether you used the little flipper.So *that's* what it's for - always been curious.
Given me a legitimate reason to dislike the machine hahYeah - because though the machine rewards this based on the switch activation you can cheat it by just hitting the flipper button regardless of whether you used the little flipper.
I would never do that of course![]()
I played this a few weeks back for first time and enjoyed it more than I expected, simple to learn hard to score big, outlanes are brutal and seems to be all about the left ramp but hitting drops and pops the callouts and sounds are fun. Definitely better than I expected and one of the better DE I've played, probably top 5 DE's. I'd like own one at some stage but I'd have thought 2.2 to 2.5k personally
Its one of my old machines, New magnet, playfield rubbers, flippers rebuilt playfield and ramps cleaned and waxed, really miss it, the little flipper makes some of the harder shots easy-once you've got the hang of it, to be honest i'm tempted to buy it back.I'd have it if it didn't have that gross second right flipper.
Oh I don't disagree that 2.2-2.5 is what it's worth. I'm talking in the funny money people are still trying to sell Data Easts.I played this a few weeks back for first time and enjoyed it more than I expected, simple to learn hard to score big, outlanes are brutal and seems to be all about the left ramp but hitting drops and pops the callouts and sounds are fun.

Agreed. There is also wear on the usual places the waterfall and moe. Think moe has been painted also.Playfield looks rough for £2800 imo….

EBay has removed the two sale links to ones that sold in November 2024- rough project one went for £1900 ish and a better one for £2800. This seems steep despite the theme- love the Simpsons theme but would sooner have a DE Star Wars for this type of money or LAH
