Do you have a shaker? I just put my shaker on Luci, turned settings to High and WOW!!!! Wish I would have done it sooner!

There are only 171 Luci's ever made. I have it confirmed from two sources. One source is internal at Stern. It is second hand info passed to me I admit though.

Also, while still speculation...it is widely accepted that acdc and stern left the bargaining table in an uproar. Both sides walked away pissed. How people think there will be another run boggles my mind but to each is own and anyone can have an opinion. My opinion of no new run is based on the fact that if Stern caves or rolls over easy to acdc increased contracts prices it will be bargaining suicide for the future! Every artist or movie studio will rake Stern over the coals too. Stern is not going to let happen. Only way a rerun happens is if acdc dives on price. Why would they? They know pin sold well first time and Stern made out like a bandit. Acdc not going to dive on price.

My opinion of course.

Oh yeah. I was offered 9k for my Luci. I will never sell it. If I did I am positive if I listed it for $9,500 right now it would be sold within a week.This is a $8,500 min. pin all day long if huo and minimal mods. That is plain fact. Too many have sold for that price range.

I own 1/171th share of all Luci's ever made and it is staying that way!

Yes friend. Rarest acdc period. More rare than bib or ltbr! I find no hapiness in that fact for LE owners, but it just seems to have happened since the contract expired. A good Pinsider source informed us that only 220 (might be 230) decal sets were printed and received at Stern. Apparently Stern had every intention to run the rest but the contract expired at 171 and talks to renew ended up in both sides walking away. By luck and only luck, Luci is the rarest now and I do not blame Stern for not wanting to announce it since it would upset some or many LE owners

As long as a licence can be inked I suppose that is true. No inky...then no winky

OMG! I just texted my wife at work to read it. We seen them in Detroit and Chicago for Rock or Bust. If Axle Sings we are going to have to pay $$$ no matter what to get tickets anywhere. We love Rolling Stones, Acdc and GnR (were both 52 yrs young and grew up with them

Wow. $7,100 and it only has a shaker and an external volume control added. Not many mods (perhaps $200 tops), basically a stock HUO machine.

Where and when did a Luci go for 7k? That would be the cheapest I have ever heard of. Was it strictly stock and no mods?

I understand the year ago comment. I bought mine a year and 5 months ago for 5,600 HUO visiglass cannon and bell mod. 7 months later I was offered $8k. It was almost, "magical" last summer when the Luci prices zoomed so fast. Wife and I decided we will never let this hot princess go! I could get $9k all day long. I added a shaker and led acrylic speaker mod (PG rated version) since then. My neighbors wife wants this pin so bad I could get $9.5k and then still visit them and play it lol. My wife would disown me though

Yes. I am the source of the 171 speculation. My distributer friend told me he heard less than 175. This was about 8 months ago when he told me. Then weeks ago my 25 year best friend told me a Stern employee told him 171 during a business discussion. His company makes small parts and small labels for Stern, G.M., Ford, Maytag, etc. Then a pinsider (here in a different thread) posted he knows for fact Stern only ordered and received 220( or 230) cab decal sets. Everyone has been trying to speculate how many decals were used. The contract with acdc expired while Luci was on the build line I guess. Also important to note is an internet tidbit for over the last year. Almost every forum discussion and/or for sale ad usually says,"less than 200 Luci's were" made. We do not know the background source or history of these comments. All we can do is connect the dots the best we can. Stern will likely never officially announce the count. If it is less than 200...many acdc LE owners will be upset. Rightly so...I think I would be too

I found the post about cabinet decal quantity. Iceman5000 seems pretty cool and not a BS'er. I believe him. See below

I know for a fact that only 225 sets of cabinet artwork were printed for Luci. I don't know for sure how many were actually built, but my sources tell me it was under 220, and it was one run and done. Stern considered "The Luci experiment" a failure. And Stern has no intention of paying AC/DC $500,000 to renew the license to build a few hundred more games.

Hey Rob and Butch (others too), did you guys add a shaker? I just did a couple weeks ago and WOW! What a great return on investment! I also did the acrylic led speaker mod. We enjoy the color changing in that area a lot...it also has a remote to change them. Shaker was the really satisfying mod though!

I forgot to say I added superbands too. Love them! Shadow and PM got them too. Johnny Baywatch do not yet. I like that trick to install them I read on Pinside. Microwave for 10-12 seconds. Always test touch first lightly to make sure microwave did not get them to hot resulting in burning yourself. Every oven is different. Then pop them on and start playing

I have bad arthritis. For me tney do not. Heat made installing them a snap. Seems many use this microwave approach since that is how I learned of it.

My wife and I just bought tickets to the Cleveland OH show. Not sure what the date will be. Can't wait to go!!!!!!! We will drive up from Florida.
