DPP #129 "Toppers, Taxes, and Tanlines"
Well hello once again folks! We are back and in effect! So much is happening right now in pinball and it's not even the incoming fall multi-launch season yet! Let's talk accessories, John Wick LE and why it may be a smart-ish buy, and just what in the heck may be canceling the Southern Friend Gaming Expo this year. It's a great time in pinball and I'm so thankful for all the cool people I've met and get to interact with on a daily basis. Y'all are great! Let's podcast! donspinballpodcast@gmail.com
Kineticist’s take
Stern Jaws accessories analysis and John Wick LE purchase reflection after rotation experiment.
Synopsis
Don returns from Florida and discusses Stern's recent Jaws accessory releases, analyzing pricing and value propositions for toppers, shooter rods, and speaker lights. He shares his experience purchasing a John Wick LE and reflects on his four-game rotation experiment (Foo Fighters, Venom, Jaws, John Wick), concluding that owning games for 4-6 months prevents code maturation and recommends 9-12 month ownership periods instead.
