John Wick
game"Mark my words. John Wick, LE, no matter how cool it is, no matter how cool it is, trust me, in one year, John Wick, LEs, if they make $1,000, $9,000 within the year, it's just going to happen."
Prediction: John Wick LEs will sell for $9,000 within a year, losing significant value.
"John Wick, LEs, if they make $1,000, $9,000 within the year, it's just going to happen"
John Wick pinball will lose significant value and buyers should avoid it
"I think this is going to be the ultimate test of Stern Pinball is because I feel like when I think about it, this is going to be their next venom. It's not going to be bad. Trust me, it's not going to be bad. It's going to be fun like every Stern machine. But I just don't think there's going to be enough there."
John Wick will be Stern's next Venom - not bad but won't be successful at current pricing
"I think they're going to make a game with a lot of flow. I think they're going to make a game with a lot of software. But I don't think you're going to see a game with a lot of mechanical wow in it. I just don't. And we're probably going to get like a cheap Mustang. We're going to get a cheap way to like load balls into the chamber of the gun."
John Wick won't have impressive mechanisms and will be mechanically underwhelming
"Because we all know if Stern makes 1000 John Wick, LE's at 13,000 a pop. They're all going to be worth like $9,000 in just like eight months. Everybody wait and see."
John Wick LEs will lose significant value quickly - from $13,000 to $9,000 in 8 months
"if I were a betting man, I bet you this game is going to be pretty empty, I don't think it's going to be loaded with mechanisms"
John Wick game will be empty and lack mechanisms due to new designer
"every month Stern waits to release a new pinball machine that's going to be $13,000 for an LE, gets harder and harder for them to sell said machine"
Stern is delaying John Wick release and hurting resale values
"I'm telling you right now, I think John Wick is going to be big trouble for Stern. I think it might even struggle to be better than Venom."
John Wick will be a disappointment and struggle compared to Venom
"John Wick feels like it's gonna be another venom it does it just feels like there's some fandom for it but there's no way John Wick at 13 000 dollars can have a thousand units out in the world and hold any value whatsoever"
John Wick pinball will fail like Venom - no lasting fandom
"The next game from Stern Pinball is not going to be designed by anybody you know... It is not going to be Jack Danger. It's not Keith Elwin. It's not anybody you've ever, ever heard of. It's not George Gomez. It's not Brian Eddy. It's a brand new designer"
John Wick will be designed by a completely unknown/new designer at Stern
"And then we got John Wick from Stern Pinball and all of my sources. And I've talked to people who have seen this game. All of my sources are telling me that this game is going to be a dud."
Pessimistic about John Wick from Stern based on insider sources
"I don't think John Wick is going to sell very well. Not if it's $13,000 for an LE. There is not a chance in pinball hell they are going to sell a thousand John Wicks at $13,000. I think this could be the game that just blows up Stern's entire pricing model."
John Wick won't sell well at $13,000 LE pricing and could destroy Stern's pricing model
"it's finally a contemporary movie, it's finally a game that is not a comic book, it's finally a game not for Marvel, it's finally a game that's not another Dad Rock band, it's finally a movie that is popular recently made into pinball"
John Wick is a good pinball theme choice - contemporary, cool, and has crossover appeal
"This game got made fun of more than anything Stern's done recently. People made so much of a big deal that there were no guns on the artwork. And yet when you go and try to find a John Wick LE, guess how many are up for sale? Zero."
John Wick LE is the only Stern game worth collecting despite being mocked for having no guns in artwork
