AC/DC (LE) Stern, 2012
AC/DC (Premium) Stern, 2012

Anyone know if their will be another run of AC/DC after their current run? I'm looking to buy one but things are not lining up for me right now. ***vent on - Did my taxes today and I owe for the first time in my life and I didn't make any more money over the last year vent off ***

I was planning on using that and my bonus (which is now half what it was last year) to buy but I'm now going to be a couple G's short. I really want a premium but if their wont be another run after this one I may have to forget about the premium and go Pro or give up on AC/DC all together.

I'm just concerned that once NIB are done if I don't have one I'll never get one as it seems like it will be a pin that follows the A listers and goes up in value in the used market vs staying stagnet or dropping a bit.

There are a few dealers here to get price quotes from. I've seen mention of April and May runs. Also been told that if you want one, put some money down to reserve your machine.

Yes, More Runs planned.. I believe the next one is planned for MAY, but that can always change due to production schedules.

I did Hear a rumor that they are going to remake Ironman, Lord of the Rings, POTC and a couple other popular games for one day only.. April 1st.. Not sure if any truth to that rumor though

More than likely more runs the rest of 2013. AC/DC is a very popular pin that is selling well for distributors & dealers.

You know that may just happen if Stern has parts left to build them. They are switching boards and implementing other features in upcoming games afterall.

Hmm, I wonder if none in April is because of a certain other rumored music pin?

Yeah...... man...production numbers these days are kinda sad, lol. You get these games that *to us* seem like they're uber popular, but when it comes down to it, 2300-ish AC/DCs? Probably way less Trons than that!? God... if most of these games are still going to route, we are in for a very big drought of pins in 10-15 years....not that it hasn't already started.

I think he means a Tron Premium. One with the lighting. Most LE owners would go crazy if Stern did that but I'd be all for it. Tron is an awesome game and the LE is one of the great experiences in pinball. I'd love another 1,000 or so people to get the joy of owning a Tron with the lighted intigrated ramps.

What is with Stern, they could get big bucks for a Tron Premium................If business is about profit, these guys are just plain stupid sometimes.

Bingo! I did mean premium and yes it would ruffle some LE owners feathers, but they did it on AC/DC
Stern if your listening... if you build a TRON premium I will buy it.... Please take my money

I think they are fearful of upsetting the LE owners. It was different with AC/DC and avengers as they announced from the onset there would be a full featured premium. That said, as I said above, the value of the machines doesn't really mean a whole lot to me as I never plan on selling my Tron LE so I would be all for a Premium run of Tron . . . let more people experience the ultimate Tron experience . . . and Tron LE is a darn great game.

It would be good for pinball in general for there to be a Premium run of Tron.
