UPDATE

I went and saw the Star Trek movie tonight with family, and we all enjoyed it.  ^^^
They certainly spent some money making this movie, that's for sure !
Should make for a great STERN Pinball when Steve Ritchie releases his usual masterpiece.
The movie made me enjoy my current Star Trek 25th pinnys also.

I am expecting cool toys with maybe the usual Star Trek shuttlecraft and the huge Star Trek NC01 Starship etc etc.
I am also expecting some excellent DMD graphics, some cool missiles on the playfield for toys, laser guns, tribbles,
Klingons and all the stuff that makes you go WOW !

Go watch the movie if you are a blatant or closet Trekky ! You should enjoy it.

Hey, I changed my Avatar picture. Do some of you like me more now that I have a huge set of T##$. 

We went to see new Star Trek last night as well. Much better effects than the old "running side to side on the set" tricks!

DO NOT get home and put on "wrath of Khan" as a link as we did (the young one appears in new film). That old movie is sooo dated now. Just have to laugh watching it. What sort of bad guy wears an open cardigan over his latex chest anyway?

Good movie, I enjoyed it. I was never into any of the earlier trek incarnations, tv show, film or otherwise but this is good fun.

some art guys stitched some images together to give the final 3 versions as well as a playfield stitch (LE and quite possible the Premium as Pro has plastic ramps)

The red is the premium not a pro

the layout looks good, really like the wireforms, art is so so, but not a fan of the speaker panel and noticed the backbox design for all the models is the same as the Avengers LE which I think is more of a cost cutter

as for price for us in Aus based on Metallica I think these will be selling around
Pro's went up to $6950
Premium went up to $8950
Le's not stated but sure will be around $9950

man that hurts for future pin sales and purchases, even the AC/DC Pro has gone up $1000 since the origin release to $6950. For other pins thats a $600 increase this year which is a bit rich from $6350 to $6950.

Looks very much the same as STTNG, is there no originality in design anymore? Starting price of 7k for a pro bnib is a blatant cash grab from our aussie distributor.
But hey it's a new stern so jump on the hype train and buy a LE or 3....15k by xmas!!!

Considering sellers are struggling to offload most 2nd hand huo stern pros for 4k plus it makes buying a bnib stern pro in this country a waste of time and $$$.

I think it looks great!
The premium looks the best, bit too much blue on the others I reckon.

Not a fan of the speaker panel either, no artwork on it & looks cheap...

It will be a tough sell for AMD with the new increased pricing structure  *%*
Pinballs in my collection Elvira, Stern Grand Prix, Bally Corvette, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Judge Dredd, Black Rose and Data East Guns n Roses.

My wallet is not prepared to go into warp. May the force be with someone else.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

$6950 plus freight for a stock pro model and $10000 plus for an LE  !@#
NIB don't represent any value. I won't be buying another new pinball. Prices will continue to rise as long as pinheads keep forking over the cash.

a European guy just found out off a distributor in Europe the following

pricing is a stunning EUR 8850,- equals approx USD 11.300,-. This is with 19% VAT and is approx USD 1200 more expensive as METLE was in NL. Unbelievable price-increase


rumour is Aus LE price is $10500....



be interesting to see how sales go, definitely one way to make pins rare, Stern aren't helping themselves nor their future
