DPP #216 "The Walking DOA"

Walking Dead Remastered criticized for weak art package at premium pricing; Beetlejuice hype rising.

Synopsis

Don critiques Stern Pinball's Walking Dead Remastered launch, focusing on insufficient cabinet art differentiation, missing foil accents, and lack of premium accessories at $13,000 LE pricing. He contrasts this with positive reception of Barrels of Fun's Winchester Mystery House and builds anticipation for Spooky Pinball's Beetlejuice midnight release event, positioning boutique manufacturers as competitive threats to Stern's industry dominance.
