Summary
Hosts discuss Stern's unexplained ACDC Remastered launch delay and preview Chicago Pinball Expo.
Greg Bone returns from vacation as the hosts preview Chicago Pinball Expo and discuss Stern's delayed ACDC Remastered launch, which was posted for October 14 but never shipped and went without communication. They also cover Pinguards display games, the anticipated Expo lineup, and a Frightened Out October poll favoring Evil Dead over Winchester.
Highlights
- Stern posted an ACDC Remastered launch date of October 14 but did not launch the game or communicate a delay on that date.
- The ACDC Remastered delay was likely caused by something significant behind the scenes, not a licensing problem.
- Pinguards will be the exclusive carrier of the product line for Flip N Out Pinball, with an official announcement expected within a couple of weeks.
- Flip N Out Pinball is selling a Pokemon LE for $12,999 and a Transformers Premium with topper for $9,099 at Expo, with the Pokemon having a small ding on the right side.
- Barrels of Fun's Bon Jovi was initially passed on by some buyers but has since drawn renewed interest, with competitor employees praising it.
- Barrels of Fun's Bon Jovi is expected to sell out at dealers within about three weeks after Expo, similar to Dune.
- In a Frightened Out October community poll, Spooky's Evil Dead beat Barrels of Fun's Winchester Mystery House 54% to 46%.
- Several limited titles including Cirqus Voltaire, Tales of Tor, and Turner Pinball are hard to find in the wild, so Expo may be one of the few places to play them.
