King Kong vs Jaws!
PodcastAnalysis updated last month49 min listen
Is releasing a Jaws 50th going to kill Kong sales? Also we're talking about the Harry Potter Delay, Predator Pinball, and Cactus Canyon Delay.
Kineticist’s take
TL;DR
Stern's aggressive 2025 release schedule (Kong, Jaws 50th, Star Wars, Walking Dead) raises dealer inventory concerns.
Synopsis
Josh and Scott discuss recent and upcoming Stern Pinball releases including King Kong (just released) and rumors of Jaws 50th Anniversary arriving in July, debating whether this timing cannibalizes Kong sales. They also cover Jersey Jack Pinball's Harry Potter status (rumored delayed but apparently still on track), Pinball Brothers' Predator announcement, and broader industry pipeline dynamics including Star Wars, Walking Dead remakes, and manufacturing constraints.
