That speaker panel has the L E plate. Are there pictures of the rest yet?

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,

Cant wait to see them in person. Pro versus Premium versus LE.  Swinksy, those pictures are great so far. Bring on the full releases and when Stern uploads heaps more photos in hi-res to their Stern/Games page/site.

Go Ford. Go Stern. Go AMD !

Is it me or is that PF less red and more blue than the pro? Not counting the car toy, of course.
Looks a lot nicer, IMO. A LOT nicer.

check this link out

and

The Premium backglass looks a little plain, but my friend at Stern told me the colours pop a lot better than the low res photos currently show with additional artworks added/not seen as yet.

Still salivating at seeing the three different models in person (Pro Premium LE)

I think there are going to be a lot of MODS u can add to any of these Ford-Mustang pinnys.

At a quick glance, maybe chrome legs n lockdown bars on a few, hard to say til u see the original standing in front of you.

Hornet yellow powdercoating to all hinges, lockdown bar and legs might look the goods on the Premuim.

A few well placed ford badges added here and there to add bling. Mirror blades, add an extra mustang car to the playfield ramps etc, just go the toy shops scaled down section for the right one.

Toppers for the 3 titles - Neon Ford Signage, or you could add one of those V8 motors u see for sale about 30cms x 30 cms etc all chromed up n add a few flashs to it.

So many great mods already for these titles. Soon we get to see the Pro n Premium n Le in their glory.
Even a few Holden Fans who are pinball collectors have told me they have put the coin down on a few Pros. Interesting if Holden fans are also joining in... ^^^

Played all 3 versions of the Mustang pinball and I felt that the Mustang Pro was a excellent game.
I didn't feel like I would need to spend more than the cost of the Pro to get a excellent game.

The lightshow on the Mustang Pro was stunning. The insert colours were amazing. The traffic light looking section was a standout and the whole playfield lighting and inserts with LEDs etc was just eye candy to say the least.
I really enjoyed the game on the Pro.
I want to buy one I liked it that much. The translite art was excellent. The cabinet art was basic and I would have wanted more but the gameplay and audio and lightshow and flow was great.
Stern have done a great job on this Pro. The modes and winning different model cars was a excellent fun feature.
The playfield lit up is eye candy for sure.

Really enjoyed the Mustang Pro. It has alot going for it.
Such an attractive lit playfield and I am still blown away by the insert led colours.
Got to save some $$ and get one before they stop making them. It's always the way, every nice machine you play, you want to buy. Pinball addiction at its usual. Lol

Went and played Mustang Pro again today and the more I play it the more I enjoy it.

Has any member here bought one in any configuration ?

AMD didn't sell as many as they would have liked to Home Use Only owners because it's very American but I think this title will get a second wind espescially on the 2nd hand market in Australia like Ironman did/has.
Theme aside, the Playfield has a excellent feel and flow to it.
For John Trudeau,s first game out in 15 years, he did an amazing job.

If u get a chance to play the Pro, jump at it cause it's a fun machine.

I have an LE model and I can say that I really enjoy it.  With the new code it is quite challenging.  This is a keeper for me and it is unlikely I would move this pin on anytime soon.

I don't mind it as well.  I think part of the problem we pinheads have is that we look for every game to the the greatest game ever.  Mustang is not the most memorable game, but it is not a bad game.

We rate all games against the likes of Twilight Zone, and forget to also consider rating them against the likes of Rolling Stones.

Even slagging off Rollings Stones, if I came across it on location, I'd be happy to play it.  Ultimately it's all pinball and it's all good, but some games are not as good as others.
