I think first run is mostly sold out in the US

BTW Nitro is a Canadian distributor if this is what you saw

I wouldn't assume anything and make accusations but if he broke a rule in his distributor agreement he will have to answer to Stern.

US distributors can't ship Sterns into Canada. There is nothing preventing anyone from buying a game in the US and bringing it back, There is nothing "shady" about it. People do it all the time.

Good stream last night if anyone interested.. https://www.youtube.com/live/jndDgZptszk?si=6HTanZ0d8UXAmC-K

I meant more from P1 in terms of things like service, store hours and an actual shopping web site. I have no complaints about the pinball machine prices at P1, they are what they are.

Correct. Maybe he meant he brought them into Quebec from the US? Anything coming into Ontario is subject to HST 13%. Back in the separate GST PST days though, I remember ordering stuff from small out of province retailers because even shipped there was savings on bigger ticket items to avoid PST.

Yes, that was my understanding also talking to Tommy. Competition is always a positive. Thanks for posting.

TMNT is a fun game, I think it doesn't get love mostly because it's tough.

Tommy used to refer me back to Jerry everytime I inquired about a Stern. He said P1 had exclusivity in Eastern Canada at the time. Something changed.

It is good. P1 is very capable of stepping up it's game and I hope to see that soon!

Pretty big news, I guess the days of P1 having a Stern monopoly in eastern Canada are gone https://www.facebook.com/100040410173962/posts/pfbid0223TiQKYahaR3bCcKcyj8s61CREwVhXsbgGzbnpM7Y6Y6wUHmjVjQuKf3iuEkonQel/?mibextid=Nif5oz

Games are harder for sure. I think any location should have a few older games or easier modern games like Scooby Doo, AFMr or CCr. Difficulty is definitely part of the problem, but I think more modern themes and wider distribution at locations would help also. Imagine what a Mario pinball...

I honestly can't stop playing Bond - it's so fun. You will love it.

Congrats! - great deal on one of the best Stern games

All the RecRooms have 2-4 pins which is awesome. Next Level in Barrie is pretty good I hear.

Seeing a bit of growth in locations also, the success of barcades, micro breweries and entertainment centers is definitely key to the future. Stern should do everything it can to get machines into places like Dave and Busters which don't seem to have any right now.

Great theme, great looking game. Lots of nitpicks - it's not perfect but after watching the stream last night I am definitely looking forward to playing. I have a neighbor getting one and hopefully Cabin Fever gets a pro in a few weeks also!

If younger generations (under 35-40) don't get into pinball in a bigger way, I think used pinball machine prices will definitely come down big time in the future. I'm encouraged to see younger people playing at places like Tilt in Toronto but do they love the game enough to own machines at home...

I agree with most of this. As a financial advisor, pinball is a what I would call a thin and somewhat illiquid market (depending on the pin of course). Recent ads and sales give you a good idea for sure. The Pinside prices converted to CAD aren't a bad yardstick either just to at least give you...
