I am sure someone will sell you a Batman 66. Not sure how available they are but I'm sure someone has one to sell you.

Anything can happen at Stern.

The forum **experts** were saying for years "The AC/DC license has expired and is now WAY too much money to renew!!!!" but of course, Stern did another run because demand was there.

Most initial runs last 3 years or more. After the initial batch, they'll run them as needed, the same machines as before, no vault, no changes.

And as Vid said, nothing stops them from re-running even past the initial license agreement.

Batman66 is still a pretty "new" title.

Where are you hearing about preorders for BM66?

And why would you think it'd have new code? The code for it isn't even finished yet

They re-run games frequently yes, I'm guessing it comes down to demand but I don't know personally.
With a straight re-run and not a vault edition they probably won't chnage much. Although i believe they put added the Bell to ACDC pro? And before they changed to LEDs from run to run but that was a one time thing.

It is typical for Stern to have multiple runs of a title if it is in demand. It allows them to keep the assembly line going and people employed. Unless it is considered a vault edition everything should be the same as the original runs - except the price. That tends to go up and up and up.

I think he just means the latest code.

I don't remember exactly how many manufacturing lines Stern has but they'll run a a batch of one machine and then switch to another and then go back and do another run of the first. When I bought KISS several dealers told me the same story that Star Trek was done for good but there was another batch of Game of Thrones ready to go I the line. I could wait for GOT or go for one of the machines that was currently in stock at dealers.

Don't confuse this behavior with reissues (Vault Editions).

Batman66 is still in production. Stern keeps most of the games in production for 3 years. I think Mustang only was made for 2 years. You can always view what they are building on their website. http://www.sternpinball.com/games

I'd just buy a nice huo someday. Normally better then nib and cheaper

No, don't sweat it. When I'm done my BM66, you can have it!

oops... never mind. That one's long gone.

We have a new in box Batman 66 from the latest production run ready to ship.
