Financial sense. A few bucks more, so why not? $3-4k more...why bother?

It makes sense cuz I could sell it now and get a Premium lol That's what Smassa did. Smart.

I missed out on nothing. I have AC/DC Premium...same game, brotha. I don't get why you guys keep trying to deny this. LOOK AT THE PLAYFIELD. All the same features. EXACT. It's a super fun game, you should try it.

So you have a limit for what it is worth to you, today. We all do. Nothing wrong with that.

However, other boys may have deeper pockets, or simply want the le more than you do. Is that okay with you?

Sure. And this thread was started to ask opinions. Opinions are often backed up by facts. That's what I did....as did others. Pick on them.

Just trying to clarify, that's all.

Time to fire up a game.

Me too. I love mirrored backglasses, I think they look bad ass and old school and are just super cool. But I honestly don't find LTBR or BIBLE all that attractive. The Premium translite is probably my favorite Stern "photoshopped" design. Good use of colors and design and space, nice typography, it feels good. Matches the game. (Pro translite is easily the least attractive of all of them IMHO.)

I know I made the Helen translite, and I have mine in a swapbox with my games that I can turn on, but if I bought an AC/DC Prem (and it's the only one I'd even consider) I'd probably leave Helen in her box and keep the stock translite in.

Pissed Pissed Pissed!

About what? If I was pissed, I'd tell you. Have I ever not been honest with you guys about stuff? Here's something I'll cop to being "pissed" about. I had Tron LE on pre order & cancelled it cuz I didn't like the movie. Then I fell in love with the game...so I had to pay $3k more than I would have initially to get one. AC/DC, I don't care, because I was able to get the Premium at a reasonable price and I'm perfectly happy with it. If I can admit to my "error" with Tron, wouldn't I do the same with AC/DC? If I REAAAAALLLY wanted the LE version that bad, I could afford it & pay the piper...but there's zero logical reason to do so. I don't buy games to impress anyone. They're for my enjoyment. I wanted Tron LE & not the Pro due to the enjoyment I get from the added playfield/code features...not because its rare. I was happy with AC/DC Premium because the playfield features are identical.

Good for you man, enjoy it. No one else has to be happy with your decision but you!

That's all that matters....have fun!

Congrats on your purchase. Anyone know if Stern will let you order a premium classic with the Luci lower playfield?

I heard they weren't....but I'm sure they'll be available eventually. Parts sellers always stock extra parts like that....Stern might just be trying to keep some sort of "exclusive" window on it.

Congrats....I had the similar decision to make in November of 2012 and paid a $2000 premium for the BIBLE and am so happy to have done so....good on ya!

The choice is obvious. Buy the premium, then go buy a JP, Stargate with the money you saved. 3 games is better than 1. Especially when they play the same. Besides, many have gutted out the backglass with helen anyway, so what difference does it really make?

....or actual good games. OOOOOOOH! Opinions! WOOO!

Sure, go with Xfiles, SF2 and a shit tales then if you like. either way your getting 4 games for the price of one.

for me, i'd rather have the 3500 in my pocket if that was my choices.

And here I am, where I actually want a pro more than a premium or LE! Not for the art - obviously, just prefer the way it plays - really

April Fools was last month!!!

I bought an AC/DC Premium with low plays for $5100 a few months ago. The $3500 uptick you describe for the BIBLE represents 68% of the street price of the Premium. I personally don't care how many of any pin they make. I want it to be fun to play and look good. $3500 bucks will buy a lot of mods and custom translite/backglass. Why worry about it being 1 in 300 and instead make it unique?

Where can I get an ACDC Premium for $5100?

you made a wise decision going for BIB!!

Just having fun with you Greg.. I didn't even read what you said because I don't care and I bet it has been said a dozen times already .

Greg, also told me that MMr LE was so different from the MMr Standard because the LE has a wood cabinet versus some other wood material in the Standard… LOL! Yet AC/DC Premium and BIBLE are almost identical! There must be one helluva a smoke trail coming from Colorado moving over Hollywood!

Ugh, you BIBLE Thumpers love to troll...dunno why I bother replying...buuuuut...

As usual you ignore context & logic. Right NOW, MMr LE and MMr Standard are THE SAME PRICE....so why wouldn't I enjoy with the better cabinet and included shaker? I never said they're SOOO different...but for the same price it's got some extra "stuff". In a similar context, if I didn't own the game and down the road MMr LE shot up in price, I'd be perfectly happy getting MMr Standard.

Actually I think its just the bottom that's wood, which I found to be a bit funny since how often do you look at the bottom to notice its real wood?

Good choice,I'm number 181
I have a new guitar topper for you here.

None of them near me, for better or for worse!

no, your in CA. you guys wipe your asses with 100's. So I don't see anything reasonable out your way. Your on the wrong side. Seems southern east coast and midwest is the way to go for reasonable stuff.

We wipe our asses with 100's and know the difference between "your" and "you're"! Twice Neo...twice.

Congrats!
That's really awesome.
I'm sure you'll enjoy the 'hell' out of it! hehehe

I hope to be one content silly bastard myself one day

Those new 100's are hell on our septic systems btw.

I got it mine by searching the pinside marketplace.

True on both counts. If you're interested in it because it's collectable, then I totally get why you'd do it. Enjoy the game!

What's even better, is that I corrected someone else in a different thread about the exact same thing.

Get a premium & I'll sell you my cracked up BIB Backglass.

Stern still able to get you a replacement? This is the exact reason I do not like real backglasses on games with non replaceable backglasses.

Long story. It's here,thread search.

That blew my f*cking mind.

There wasn't really a wrong choice to be made, its a fantastic game no matter what version you have. Enjoy playing it!
