Nothing supposed about orders LE being cancelled, check the backlash on pinside for the proof.
Stern need to pick their act up.
But if someone wants this game just wait awhile and pick it up cheap on the 2nd hand market.
7k and 10.5 k respectively for either model nib is highway robbery.
The pro will be a 5k game in 12 months and if recent LE trends are any indication it will also take a fair hit in price.
The LE reviews are not too bad. But the point being made is that with Walking Dead, Stern had the chance to really make something special and given the title many expected just that. Bloody hell. its zombies and its one of the most popular shows in the world... really should have been a golden ticket for Stern.
The LE it appears is a reasonable game to play and the features lift it.. but that's the LE. The Pro is the LE with features taken out and is the machine most of the market would have aimed for. reports on this is that its.. well.. so - so.
So, to summarise, it could have been but those that have played it say it is not.
If just keeping a ball in play with 2 flippers floats your boat then anything is good fun.. but when you look for a classic that TWD could have been then again Stern fail to achieve.
Problem is that once the title is done, no one else can do it as all hype is lost etc.
Overall the Stern recipe is to embrace mutton and sell it packaged as lamb, this.. I admit, they do do very well
