Stern announces new KISS pinball

[Brunswick Brawler]

Bruce at AMD secured another 19 LE's and there's only two left.

I'd say they are all gone again.  Recent posting on Facebook from AMD states all LEs sold out.  Timing would suggest that include the 19 extras.  They may have gone immediately on people on waiting lists.

I'd agree with that.

I received the mailout from AMD today (with the formal announcement of the machine) with LE's SOLD OUT.

Okay, so who's going to be 1st to call "best pin ever"?

I figured as I was typing it they'd be sold :)

Great news on the LE sold out, BTW anyone commit to a pro or prem version

[Caveoftreasures]

Will committ to the PRO model for sure !

Cave, the Pro colour is off - treat yrself to a Premium! Although with demand for the LE red-hot maybe it wld be smart to grab an LE from the States - http://m.ebay.com/itm/121643625113?nav=SEARCH. These pins will never see the 2nd hand market, imagine how you will feel if u don't have the most collectible, & possibly the best, Stern pin EVER manufactured!!

Pro is US$5500 inc shipping... good pricing across the water

[andypinboy]

Yeah, some think we get reamed by the weak $Aud - but the truth is Gary Stern gets us mixed up with Austria & blames us for those damn Hitler videos - so he whacks a few more $thou on to give us the finger.

[Caveoftreasures]

does anyone know date of first Kiss stuff arriving into Australia ?

[Caveoftreasures]

If you can find a current Pro at $5500 USA given our 80 cents trading figure compared to the USA $.

5500 adds 1100 with dollar difference is now $6600 Aust

Now add 10 percent gst to Aust is $6600 plus $660 is $7240 Aust

Then add import duties n customs to Australia and u are going to get high 7,s to just under 8 grand Aussie for a BNIB Pro.
Sounds roughly right using some quick calculations in my head.

Negotiate delivery n shaker and u are a happy camper.

The extra LEs for Australia were existing games from Stern. These were quickly snapped up by eager buyers in the "standby queue".

Whispers are now getting louder. I was told they want to increase the KISS LE to at least 700 unit and possibly 1000 units. That could translate to even more LEs to Australia. There's also a push for orange trim on the LE. I'd much prefer it our the red, but it is something I can do later on.

So, dealers pay the retail price?
