$12K for the LE at todays exchange rate.. that's if you are a currency trader. Lesser mortals via a bank etc would get a lower rate than that.

Considering Stern poor after sales service, I couldn't justify 12K+ expenditure.

I'm using Kiss and WWE as a reference point; as for GOT the general consensus is that the code updates have been causing more problems than they fix (see pinside).

Before I get branded an Anti-Stern person; I want VFM and after sales service.

On first glance I like it. It looks like an interesting layout and artwork.

The LE looks the goods.. slime running down the side from the side rails is a nice touch and makes the cab look like a complete design rather than a bitser.
Be interesting to see how it plays.. but losing a whole ramp on the Pro?.. Gee that's a bit harsh and at first thought would completely change the game

Not too shabby Stern, have to admit. Plenty of playfield toys, just hope the game rules (and eventual code) can fully utilise them.

But put the LE playfield inside the Pro cabinet with the Premium translite.

Check the pic - do we tell them or let it go through to production like Spiderman?  !*!

Impressive. I love the green trim on the LE.

Trudeau has done what appears to be a very interesting design. The only thing I see that I don't like are the cloudy plastic ramps.

I really hope Stern does well with this title - it looks amazing. Can't wait to play it - but that's what I most dislike about the 3 tiered model - I most likely won't play an LE unless a collector I know buys it. If I had a spare $12,000 lying around, I would pull the trigger. Just have to get my head around the code will be bare on release.

I'm told that AMD have NOT increased the pricing. Not sure if that is for all 3 models. Just have to wait and see.

it's the Ecto Goggles component, see the picture below as has a simulated ghost in the round glass but what is supposed to happen is you need to find particular ghosts and they appear in the see through round glass and maybe the lcd screen that reflects the image is behind the Ecto Goggles plastic / bracket

also Nino you mentioned the cloudy ramp, a insider said it is a proto ramp so should be much clearer

photo 1 - pro and premium comparison, even though the pro is missing some features it still is a full looking game

le comparison - the art is really nice on this game especially when compared to GoT, though Kiss is very iconic and looks cool

and then the stat comparison

I agree, the hologram, extra ramp and the subway ramp alone make it a no brainer for me.  If the code is in good shape come shipping time I might just break my no more nib policy.
