* No one can deny the base model at $5,950 is worth a punt because it will become very collectable, artwork liked or disliked etc.
The music alone will impress most. Maybe it will be better looking in the flesh than the pictures so far. At $5950 i reckon i might seriously look at one.

If i changed my mind after it arrived, i would site it and make some serious coin etc at the right location.

** Does anyone else think $5950 is good value for the well awaited AC-DC pin. I think the pricing is attractive for the PRO model 4 sure.

thankyou Bruce for the updates.  ^^^

Couldnt agree more... at $5950 it well within range of most... 2nd hand pins call that coin due to collectability. $6K NIB.. fark.. im looking for a pin to site ( have the site... need the pin!). For a coin eater, i need to be looking at $2400+... its new... its ACDC.. every bogan will shove a couple of gold coins into it.
 try buying a 2nd hand ELVIS for that price.. stick it onsite and see how little it takes

It may be only 5.9k but it will be the ugliest 5.9k you have ever spent on a pin, no way in the world would i even contemplate one in my house...far too ugly...my closest mates would give me too much of a hard time about turning bogan...yikes..and I can't grow a mullet or drink cheap beer, woodstock or bundy cans, I cant stand motor sports and don't own a flanny or ugg boots and I know that there was music made before and after accadacca formed...thank god I'm not a bogan!. I do agree with siting one though, put it in a pub and let all the cashed up bogans beat the crap out if it while pretending that they are angus and spilling their over-priced crap drinks all over it...you make some $$ and it might improve the looks of this absolute shocker.

ABSOLUTE YUK YUK YUK YUK.

I reckon the artwork everywhere on this pinball looks very cheap n nasty x 100. Colours are just yuk n crappy. Sorry STERN. You got it very wrong again !

The browny red colours of the whole thing remind me of the browny yuk of the Maverick Pinball. The playfield looks dull and the large head looks like shite. Who wants to look at that all day playing pinball. Someone should have looked at the colours on something like a Black Knight 2000, with the nice combinations of red with black n silver.
This AC-DC pin is a massive letdown. It even makes the Rolling Stones machine look good, and that was a disaster. What are STERN doing ?

This is one ugly pinball machine, and will drop in value due to ugliness. The pricing seems way too high.
Stern should design one great game, not a cheap version, with a cheaper version, followed by a cut rate even cheaper version ! 3 models is silly. What about the days where u just released one really well layed out model, which came in one great package. Sorry, but it is just ugly and the whole thing looks cheap.

I have finally decided Stern is doomed for all time. If they have farked up this release, nothing else ever has a chance of getting off the ground. The recent Avatar and Iron Man pins looked way way better. To all the people awaiting this title, u must feel shattered by the ugly'ness. Its a 10 song jukebox for 10 grand with ugly art everywhere.

Change of heart Brett? LOL

I think the LE will be much better,have ordered 2, one of each but not confident I will get them now as there was a mention that indicated some people who have ordered may miss out due to being sold out? Hope not as my deposit has be paid.

no change of heart. one post says it is ugly. the other posts say it is not overly priced at $5950 for the base model and it might be worth siting. 2 different posts !  ^^^

the pin also might look alot better in person than on the photos. At $5950 it might be worth a punt. I will wait til i see one in the flesh and then play it. I would also wait for the 2nd version to come out, just like a car after they have taken on feedback and made some changes/additions etc.  ^^^

You should go back and read all the posts that were given on this title ^&^.I cannot find a post that said Quote, that it would not be a BIG SELLER.A lot of members were not happy with the artwork but if some choose to still buy good luck to them.Every man and his dog new this would still sell well  <.>.

If it looks better in the flesh than the pictures, watch the orders go right up. Some people will buy this machine regardless of what it looks like or plays like just because it is a AC/DC etc. $5950 is affordable.  not quite sure about the $9,000 model. I am die-ing to see one in the flesh and hear the music plus gameplay.

exciting times, funny artwork or not.lol  %.%  ^^^

I'm wrapped I've ordered a LE Back in Black cant wait now, only one reason I'd spend the cash on a NIB is if the theme was of a rock band either KISS or AC/DC and its happened bring on March.

P:S- KISS won't happen Genes to money hungry and Stern couldn't afford the license.

Well done,looking forward to seeing how good a player it is.I really like the playfield layout and the drop targets on the premium and LE should make it a lot more interesting to play,a bit old school.Hope you put up some vids when you have it all set up  ^^^.

Your into it if it's a cookie cutter or maybe a Stern LE, then it's in the lineup regardless of what movie it might be.
