Dunno if I'm classed as a stern hater, but my pocket is much lighter as of today and now will wait for June to come around for an LE delivery

A little apprehensive buying site unseen gameplay but wtf.

Thrilled for you mate. Awesome decision.
thanks mate, I now have no excuse for not holding a meet

more than 2 people is considered a meet - I can't wait to have a game. I'm tempted to pull the trigger, but I'll wait a while.

I'm feeling good with the choice after seeing the pf and even more so after seeing some videos. I think the premium has enough added features for people to choose this but the pro is still a player in its own right.

If they don't correct or improve on that mount I am going to do a mod to cover the pole (get rid of the wiring wrap) and cover those dam ugly bolts.

As for mods Stern have started sending out notices to some modders (not me as I am not activity selling any IP stuff), but they are also trying to tell people that they can't make anything (non IP protected stuff) for a "Ghostbusters" pinball so trying to create a monopoly for their mods and mezelmods. I think this is going too far and they are silly as the modders make some money from making mods so to then put towards buying the next stern pinball - so short sighted.

Nice photos - and they are of the PRO  ^^^

Regarding Modders - it is YOUR machine and you can do what the hell you like. As long as it does not have a Stern or GB logo, who cares ?

Some great photos there.

This is really a good looking game.  Great use of colours and ....dare I say it.... looks actually fun and inviting to play.  Great work by Stern and the design team.

What's the reasoning behind the weird Casper-looking Ghostbuster logos all over the playfield . Looks wrong IMO .

They have the license , do they not , so why not go with the traditional logo that everybody knows :

Swinks , a Ghostbuster action figure or something mounted at the back and then a proton stream cover over the wiring and looping around Slimer would look cool .

not sure but maybe since the people are cartoonie maybe they went that way with the logo?

I was thinking el wire or some sort of lit beams, have a few ideas but can't start until I get a machine and sure a few of the US guys will be doing it as well

Very impressed with the game etc but the topper is very underwhelming.
