The Pro WD looks awesome

The LE WD looks awesome

The Premium looks extra awesome

Glad I hung off ordering the Pro cause I might go thre Premium but want to see it first.
The Govenors Fishtank topper might be too much on this model ?  Too many tanks if there could be such a thing as too many heads on display. Lol ???
 The cabinet real life colours on the Premium looks very life like.
Backglass or Translite looks very cool.

Anyone cancelling a Pro for a Premium or thinking Premium if you buy ?

I get to have a close look at an LE next week - confirmed !

I'm going to send an official complaint to Stern if they DIDN'T incorporate Beth's headshot on the artwork.. @@^

Not impressed with the Premium announcement. Bad business lying to your customers, but, I see the positive - the game is that popular that they reconsidered a rerun BUT upgraded it. There would have been more of an outcry if Stern released more LEs ?

Respectfully, when did Stern lie to its customers ?

Was there an official Stern press release that said they would NOT be building a Premium Walking Dead ?

I will stand corrected but I dont understand how they have lied which is a big call to make about a company that is doing very well and has tottally revamped our industry. Yes I am a huge Stern fan, but I didn't see the lie bit anywhere yet ?

Happy to hear what they formally did say ?

Premium backglass/Translite on a Pro for a mod ??

But the red Pro translite I have is awesome thanks to Sterns competitions.

All backglass/translites look excellent n very interchangeable accross the three models. ??

In this instance, they mislead a friend of a customer that forwarded me an extract from a message (either email or FB) ;

"the company is making The Walking Dead in only two: a standard Pro model and a Limited Edition with some special features"

I don't mind that they are making an Premium, and Presidents have told bigger lies - so it is no big deal. But Stern DID say two models and then changed their story to "maybe" for a Premium.

Demand DID change their mind.

It just goes to show with anything, that a Premium machine will probably end up being the rarest sold model out of the Pro and LE and Premium on The Walking Dead line up.

Would you still stick a Fishtank topper on the Premium
Or not ?
Or a completely different topper like skulls or a hand gun or Katana Japaneese Sword or something else like a creepy Dead Inside sign or a larger version of the playfield barn with opening doors n a bigger zombie head. So many ideas.

I want to buy a premium translite for the wall and will send off a email.

Anyone else got any topper ideas for the Premium
Model ?

2nd hand LE's are up for sale already thanks to Stern deciding to bend the pinball community over again with a late Prem announcement after LE games were sold out.
