Stern Pinball Venom First Impressions - San Diego Comic Con 2023 

Thanks! You'll enjoy your Venom premium

Yes! Pretty cool, Star Wars has a similar character select too, but it just changes scoring options. This is the first time the playfield changes when characters are selected

@@KongsRUs thats cool as heck, hope they capitalize and improve upon this mechanics for future machines

Scooby Doo and TMNT does also

@afattori316 good point!

Doctor Who: Time Streams is the first game to do it :)

I don't think it'll top Godzilla or JP, but it's fun playing it for sure. The shooting ramps make it very interesting to pay attention to!

Captainsauctionwarehouse.com is where I got my first pin. You might be able to snag a deal at auction

@@KongsRUs seems like that or I gotta talk to some of the other pinheads about people they know with cabinets for sale

You don't.

@@LordCyler I mean. Since posting this I've talked to a few different people at tournaments I've gone to and they all said around $7K for a good condition used one. Don't get me wrong, that's a lot of money. But that's nothing a payment plan or financing can't solve. Hell even if ya gotta take out a small loan and pay it back each month. My mentality it to treat it the same way you'd buy a car. Most people don't have the money to buy it up front, so they space out the payments.

@@raddaradda8682 Dude. Dont take out a loan or payment plan on a pinball machine. I mean, its your $ but this just isnt the sort of thing I think people should be putting on credit. W/e that's just the American way.

Stern Pinball! $7,000 for Pro, $9,699 for Premium

Agree!

SW? Sorry. I don't know all the super geek acronyms.

@@cyanidechrist Star Wars

Pro is $7K, but definitely looks a little bare compared to Premium. I can foresee a lot of 3rd party mods to spruce up the upper right playfield on the Pro

You left out the Premium. Stern only makes a very few limited LEs that always sell out day 1. Everyone else buys either a Pro or Premium. Premium is the most common model on most models and costs between the Pro and LE. So you leapt over the Premium in your $6k number.

@@dangerdonk6670 I know there’s a premium model, was just pointing out the absurd difference in price between models, I mean where are the 6k value? On the powder coating, 2 mechs and pinblades? Ridiculous
