Nice one dude! Can anyone shed some light on what the IFPA prices for machines are? I imagine a discounted rate but would be interested to know what sort of rate.

the Stern reward program aint worth a rub outside the USA.

It's a $1000 off a new in the box, so a Star Trek Premium is listed as $7,495 is yours for $6,495 (approx. £4,200).

The problem is with importing it as you buy them direct from Stern. It then needs shipped to a port, a trip across the ocean, collection from a port in this country once it has cleared custons and has had all the extra duty / VAT paid (all in you're probably around £1,000 plus).

Then after you've got it in your hands, if you have a fault with it....!

Which is why to my knowledge no one in this country has bought using the rewards program.

Surely Stern could negotiate something via Phil though.... I mean - I expect @philpalmer purchases direct from Stern anyhow.....

I only found out about this yesterday! I would totally get a Star Trek... (It's my fave table) but all that VAT and shipping would negate any saving.... unless I could find a magician to do my VAT and teleport it.... $1000 is a good discount! (that's like 20% or so?)

Why are we in the U.K. missing out on stuff like this ?
Like @Paul has said maybe Phil at PH could try and see if there's a way forward with Stern ?

Couldn't agree more us in the UK get shafted on nearly every bloody thing
