I got a email from a friend who lives in Texas and collects pinnys. He belongs to a local pinball club/forum and said that he has ordered a Premium, as have a few of his friends, and that a few guys had also ordered the Pro, and he thought it was selling really well for both collectors and local operators who were placing AC/DC into bars/local businesses. Maybe different areas have different results. ?
It would be nice if Stern kept/shared real figures of machines sold. You could then determine the health of a title, from one release to the next etc.
I also noticed Stern is currently exporting machines to 30 countries (list below). I wonder how many machines really do go to each country ?
http://www.sternpinball.com/Buy/International.aspxThere is around 60 USA dealers as well.
http://www.sternpinball.com/Buy/Commercial.aspxWe know the 500 LE machines have been sold. Would u get another 300 Pro, and another 300 Premiums sold for all of these dealers in the USA and overseas.
Thats 5 machines per USA dealer and 5 machines per overseas dealer on top of the LE sales.. I reckon that is easily achievable.
That makes it 1100 units at bare minimum numbers. I think alot of dealers sell 20 times that small (x5) amount. Perhaps AC/DC will sell a few thosand then ? Hard to really know ?
