Quoted from Darscot:

Man I would love to know the inner workings at Stern. This looks like a revenue issue they need some quick cash to carry them to the next release. Yet rumors are revenue is way up. This is the kind of thing you see when companies are really tight for operational budget. Why are they doing this kind of thing and not what you are saying and focusing on improvements and making the next game great.

My guess is that the ACDC Premium VE didn't sell as well as they expected and instead of having parts sit around they ordered more LUCI decals and translites and decided to create more demand by re-releasing the LUCI package. It's not limited and likely doesn't cost them any additional licensing $ so why not.

And yes, a final code update would be sweet! Pretty please Lyman

Quoted from RustyLizard:

I haven't owned one yet but i dont recall it being numbered. I think it was just a late release and like any other standard or premium they didn't tell us how many they made.

Correct. It's just a late release "Premium" edition. Not meant to be limited in any way. It's kind of like the Metallica Road Case Premium edition. It's just rare because not many people bought them.

Quoted from arcademojo:

You could actually buy the translite cab art and other parts from Marco for the Lucy, I know 2 people that turned their premiums into Lucy pins.
They pulled everything a month or so ago.

My favorite version (what I did) was put the Luci translite in the regular ACDC Premium. It looks great together and is the perfect mix of classic ACDC and LUCI. I've had 3 different translites in my Premium at various times and would rate them: LUCI>Pro>Premium.

Quoted from frankmac:

If Stern puts a LCD screen like the new games have on them I am in..
AC/DC Luci VE + .. Sounds good..

no thanks. I'll take a bulletproof SAM ACDC over SPIKE any day of the week.

Quoted from T-800:

I think there has been a large influx of people into the hobby that happened after TRON was released, and certainly after they realized how awesome of a game it is. If STERN is still working with Disney on other licenses, it seems like it'd be straight-forward to renew. The playfield itself does not have very many unique mechanisms, so reproduction would be pretty easy as well. Top that off with there being a lot of us that would like one but not wanting to pay the over inflated price on it right now. If I'm going to pay a premium I'd rather get NIB.

It's kind of crazy to look back and think that Tron and Tron LE were released at a time that pre-dated LED's in pinball machines as both games are incandescent from the factory. If there was ever a game that would benefit from color changing GI and insert lighting Tron VE would be it!

Indy 500 driver FTW! Nice Mike!

Thanks. Although the actual guts have been replaced with a PS3 and Logitech G27 racing wheel and pedals. Can play a whole lot more games that way!

Quoted from Yoko2una:

Seeing how Luci has been the most desirable Prem model over the past few years

I don't really know if that's the case. Most of my friends and collectors I've talked to prefer the regular Premium over the LUCI. I think most of LUCI's popularity is driven by the fact that it's seen as being more "rare" and seemingly more valuable. 95%+ of all ACDC games are currently the standard version. If it were the other way around and 95% of all ACDC games were LUCI's I think the regular Premium would be the more "In demand" version.

Quoted from PinMonk:

I just don't like the actual output of the LED display. The LCD is much nicer on the eyes IMO.

agree 100%
