Fallout pinball rumors, market saturation concerns, and emerging affordable pinball manufacturers.
Fallout is coming… and if the rumors are true, Stern might be about to drop something pretty damn wild. On this episode of The Flipside Podcast, I’m fired up and we’re covering a TON. We get into everything we think we know about the rumored Keith Elwin Fallout pinball machine, why I still don’t think Elwin has made a bad game, the rumored lower playfield, vault, Nuka Cannon, possible Stern pricing changes… and whether Fallout could be one of those games people buy simply because Elwin’s name is on it. But that’s just the beginning. We also talk about the Pokémon Home Edition showing up at Costco and why, whether you want one or not, I actually think products like this could be incredibly important for bringing new people into pinball. Then we go down the rabbit hole of affordability in this hobby. I talk about Pawlowski Pinball’s mission to build a legitimately GOOD affordable pinball machine, the newly announced BUMP 001, and the bigger question: Do we really need ANOTHER pinball company making $10,000+ machines? And somehow we still have more… 🔥 Spooky Pinball and the heavily rumored Goonies machine 🔥 Could Goonies actually show up at Pinball Expo? 🔥 Why I’m nervous about Back to the Future and Dutch Pinball 🔥 My Transformers Megatron Cannon problems 🔥 New Transformers mods and the transforming Optimus Prime ideas 🔥 Bon Jovi, Barrels of Fun and the problem with unpredictable delivery timelines 🔥 Tim Sexton’s awesome interview with Jamie from JBS 🔥 Why new players matter WAY more to the future of pinball than we sometimes realize 🔥 And why there are officially WAY TOO MANY FREAKING PINBALL MACHINES coming out right now 😂 Plus, because this is The Flipside, I eventually completely derail the show talking about Cannon Beach, getting older, working out, energy drinks, friendships, life priorities and apparently everything else bouncing around inside my caffeinated brain. So yeah… pretty normal episode.
