Hahaha ... if it a flop.. i'll get one for 1k   Only thing I hope is not that purple

Yea I was gonna say what's up with that picture I hope the color is just off.

I think this is going to suck, nothing good can come from this theme, I feel this is going to be another WPT they should really stay away from this kind of theme, it didn't work with HRC, it didn't work for WPT and I doubt it will work with this either.

I'm not on either side ATM, I would certainly like to try it as I do enjoy Keith's games. I do however share the same wtf was Stern thinking notion. The picture is purple on purpose, I spoke to Keith yesterday and he said the photoshoot was monday so offical pics are to follow soon.

wow this theme is just not for me either but if i saw one on location i would drop a buck or 2 just to see. must be bargain basment license fees for this one, if this is the case i rather an original theme with no license. c' mon stern get creative!

While reading this post I was surprised to see that no one was defending Stern, as per usual, on WoF. But alas, Mark rides to their defense. For the record, i also believe disaster is written all over it. No desire to own this, who still watches WoF?

That's my normal role -- guess I'm the official MAACA Stern defender But when something is this dumb; how can you defend it. I really, really hope I am wrong and it sells like hotcakes, but I doubt it.

Like you said, who even watches the show? Those 2 no talent folks (Pat and Vana) have milked their free ride for 20+ years. The show sucks. It did when I was a kid and it still sucks.

What a waste of talent! Putting Keith Johnson on this wet rag! I am sooooo disappointed in Stern. And the next few themes suck just as much. I hope they can over come this, but I think I see the reaper on the horizon. Let's hope POTC continues to sell well, because they will need something to keep them afloat.

In all fairness, I can see how a crossword theme could work well in a pin. I mean, if there was a DMD in the playfield that produced a word or phrase and you had to hit the correct drop target to light the letters in that phrase (a la Hangman), it would be somewhat fun. Imagine a pin with 26 drop targets to represent every letter. It could work. Seriously.  

Jack at Pinball Sales says he already has 2 pre-orders, granted not a huge deal but still soemthing.

No biggie. There's always a sucker out there. People will buy toast that has a burn that looks like Jesus or the Mother Mary (as witnessed on eBay) -- doesn't mean there is a market for Wonder Bread to start producing bread in the shape of JC, Mary, Moses, etc.

Would their first names be Pat and Vanna?

edit:  Sheesh, I just found out that Vanna turned 50 this year!  Shows the age of the show.  Even "The Price is Right" would have been better!

I've seen one episode in HD (Yup they produce this scholk in HD) and they pretty much stay away from Vanna except for very long shots

Purple seems to be the color of choice on this pin.

this machine reminds me of High roller in some ways.
