Jaws! By Stern… We’re going to need a bigger games room !
- Thread starter Silverpaolo
- Start date
All that work put into it and you would have thought they would have a more accurate version of the Amity Island Welcomes You sign, theyve got the Help Shark caption incorrect and the mouth shape on the girl is wrong, not to mention the sun and boat.

yeah, that seems lazy, gotta be honest. It is almost like they asked AI to create the image...
Yeah, well spotted.
Attention to detail ….. shame
Good to know, I’ve bought several but alas not mirrored by xianek
I’ve seen older pins repro glasses mirrored.
Can you recommend who does mirrored recent titles such as Jaws?
Cheers in advance.
It’s a guy on Facebook and Pinside. I’ll get his details later and post them here, he has made a lot of custom mirrored translites.
His JAWS, Godzilla premium and Elvira ones are fantastic!

he’s based in Argentina and from what I’ve read, it’s $350 + shipping. His Jaws looks incredible IMO

Played for about 3 hours this morning. I didn't think I'd like how you get to the wizard mode as I thought it'd make you ignore everything but the mbs... but after actually playing I think it's fantastic! I think maybe because all the other stuff is always progressing, even if you're not directly going for a certain thing it gets to a point that it's almost complete so it pulls your attention to finish that thing off before refocusing on whatever you were doing. Game has so much choice as nothing is really blocked behind something else, it's very non linear. Even if you're not a great player and not aiming to do everything in one game, I think you could see all the mini wizard modes over several different games by focusing on one at a time.
I had 'Smile, you son of a' lit on my last ball but was also only 2 chum buckets away from great white. I was giggling to myself about whether I dared be so greedy to go for great white first. In the end I decided to start the final wizard mode instead but next time I might greed!
Now I'm back to wondering whether to upgrade to a prem...

There is definately something messed up about the promo video and the "Hologram Sticker".
12k toy.
Hologram sticker.
Fudge me, I remember another Hologram Sticker that was a big deal - on Transformers, that were £10, when I was ten years old, 40 years ago.
Gotta get me one of them hologram stickers.

Like to say a Big Thank you to Dave at Retro Arcade who had the time! to chat about purchasing one of these and sorting things. Was a very pleasant experience and will be using him again for my future purchases. 
Completely agree, would be better off not mentioning the sticker at all rather than using it to promote it as part of the anniversary edition - they’re really clutching at straws with that ‘feature’There is definately something messed up about the promo video and the "Hologram Sticker".

Well they have to put something!
If your in for a premium this one would be my personal choice, I strongly disliked the art on the premium, thought it was even worse in person. If you have a line up of pins the sides don't really matter neither to be honest does the back box, however if you only have one pin and it's in a place where you have to look at the side art all the time it does make a difference.
The premium at it's current price actually works out cheaper than the current premium as your getting powder coating and the £300 + side armour included.
Think it's being sold for £11.5k at pinball heaven might be cheaper elsewhere.
This could be an interesting watch - 'Jaws @ 50 : The Definitive Inside Story'. National Geographic channel, 09:00 Friday.

On my to-watch list - Jaws is one of my favourite films.
If you are a Jaws fan, I went to see the The Shark is Broken play this year.
If it tours again, and you are a fan, I can't recommend it enough - it is written by, and stars the Quint actor's son (Ian Shaw, son of Robert Shaw).
I watched it last night, very informative, and the Pin makes a brief appearance.
Great play- Ian Shaw is phenomenal in it but I’m unsure if he’s continuing. Super impressive and emotional watching him recite the monologue his dad co-wrote about the USS Indianapolis
