No pics yet - I think there is going to be some tactics with this release to attempt to release on the same day as JJP's WOZ - speculation at this point.

It has been mentioned that JJP is releasing the WOZ officially to the public on the 5th of June - so possibly (my speculation is) is to reduce the buzz on one machine but get a frenzy happening. Imagine releasing your machine a few days early and then the WOZ is released alot of the focus could shift away from the first. This has it's negatives because JJP is going to be better in technology I believe, and so to compare to a machine with big tech improvements good chance you could lose so the theme has to be what will divide people.

Also Stern received the plastics sets to install yesterday so getting close, but rumour that the translits are yet to arrive.

Borg has had a year to design this machine so hopefully the code, feel and toys are awesome and it was stated by a insider that the Pro and LE were designed next to each other.


Rumoured art to be
Goodguy LE - Wolverine and good guys on the cabinet and backglass with custom blue trim
Badguy LE - Magneto and bad guys on cabinet and backglass with a purple trim
Pro - to have combo art (my guess good on one side and bad on the other)

No premium or no combo LE like on Transformers

Inside says the art will be like this
