This is what Stern said on May 31 - 2017 on their facebook page:
I quote (its about the following games: Met-pro, Met pre, GOT pro, GOT pre):
"Stern Pinball: So to be clear, here are a few things:
- These mentioned 4 games will not have any further production in 2017.
- The current available NIB inventory is all that exists.
- Possibly, but not necessarily, we could run more of these 4 titles at sometime in 2018 or beyond based on demand or other factors.
- Possibly, any title we have ever released since 1986, with the exception of LE units, could return at any time, as a "Vault Edition" which could be an exact duplicate of its original version, an alternate version, have alternate art, or other enhancements and improvements.
If you want any of these 4 games, the time to buy is today.
Contact your retailer ASAP."
Later in July 2017 this picture was taken for the Chicago Tribune:

So what they say and what they do is completely unrelated if you ask me...
