I liked the Transformers movies also, for what they were.
Quoted from Rick432:Was that with the collector's edition prop? I think it was supposed to be a phaser with electronic effects.
I did the preorder of the Bluray/DVD/Digital Copy combo from Wal-mart. So I got access to stream the movie 3 weeks ago through Vudu which was awesome, but no phaser for me.
Hoping we get a cool ship back glass instead of a bunch of actors faces........ but who knows? Really hoping for some hand drawn renditions and not any photo art.
This guys stuff is pretty darn good --> http://abduzeedo.com/star-trek-darkness-poster-paul-shipper

I imagine the movie studio had a lot of input as to what could be used. That poster is as cool as hell though.
EE will have a blue DMD, shaker, mirrored backglass and special trim
VE will be premium
with Steve R lots of flow and combos
Sound clips from the movies
Announcement? I hope we get a teaser tomorrow.
EE = Enterprise Edition
VE = ??? Vulcan Edition?
If this is the case hope the EE backglass is all enterprise and no actors faces
Quoted from hank527:EE will have a blue DMD, shaker, mirrored backglass and special trim
VE will be premium
No Khan Edition? Fail...
Quoted from NiftyLED:Hrmm... what IF.. they're actually going to announce Futurama Pinball? With Hypnotoad LE?
Sounds like a bad idea, Futurama is cancelled again.

Sounds pretty close to what I thought. Get ready for 4 "The King of Flow" quotes in every marketing paragraph.
Quoted from Gov:Futurama would be a sight unseen instant LE pre-order/purchase for me even if I have to sell of some current stuff
License acquired by another pinball company...
Quoted from Gov:Futurama would be a sight unseen instant LE pre-order/purchase for me even if I have to sell of some current stuff
YES!
That or the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy theme. I'd sell all my pins I own for each!
Oh, who acquire dthe Futurama license?! SO IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?!
One distrib said the 12th another said by weeks end. So very soon.
Pricing is nuts. Still the SAM boardset with DMD.
Quoted from Whysnow:License acquired by another pinball company...
Are you certain that is their next title? I thought it was going to be as well from the other thread, just wondering if you had more info.
Quoted from sammiesguys:Are you certain that is their next title? I thought it was going to be as well from the other thread, just wondering if you had more info.
Wait, what? Who?
Quoted from mnpinball:Pricing is nuts.
I'm assuming as in costing a whole lot more "nuts".......
I agree Jar, a big "fail" on the no Khan edition
Quoted from mnpinball:One distrib said the 12th another said by weeks end. So very soon.
Pricing is nuts. Still the SAM boardset with DMD.
How sure are we of this? Same old, same old, SAM plus DMD? Any info on what's new? Upgraded sound? Subplayfield? The money has to be going into SOMETHING, right?
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Facebook - Stern.
Now a picture of space!
I am waiting for next year when they post "Two Minutes to Midnight"
Quoted from jarjarisgod:That vodka doesn't buy itself.
I'd rather a Jack Daniels pin with cigars.
Quoted from Rick432:How sure are we of this? Same old, same old, SAM plus DMD? Any info on what's new? Upgraded sound? Subplayfield? The money has to be going into SOMETHING, right?
Maybe we'll see some kind of LCD or video "toy" incorporated ON the playfield? I mean...that probably would kill some of the "DMD again!?!?" noise.
If there really is a $500 price increase, I hope there is something to help justify that. Same features for more price, boo. I know they will sell out anyways most likely so the point is moot.
Quoted from Rarehero:Maybe we'll see some kind of LCD or video "toy" incorporated ON the playfield? I mean...that probably would kill some of the "DMD again!?!?" noise.
Great idea. Could be true. Would justify the price increase and be a nice new add on.
Also, then Napabar and Musketd could both be right!
Quoted from Jackontherocks:I am waiting for next year when they post "Two Minutes to Midnight"
More like Stairway To Heaven............
Quoted from Rarehero:Maybe we'll see some kind of LCD or video "toy" incorporated ON the playfield? I mean...that probably would kill some of the "DMD again!?!?" noise.
Quoted from Apollyon:Great idea. Could be true. Would justify the price increase and be a nice new add on.

Actually Napabar specifically mentioned some type of LCD display being used on ST other than on the main display, including possibly in the apron, so I think he would be "more" right.
Quoted from Rarehero:Maybe we'll see some kind of LCD or video "toy" incorporated ON the playfield? I mean...that probably would kill some of the "DMD again!?!?" noise.
I've thought the same, but the traditional DMD in the backbox "IS" there.
Again I will say, there is a reason why Tanio was brought on board. He is a video expert.
http://www.pinballnews.com/news/tanio.html
All will be revealed soon. Word is that this is Steve's most technically advanced pin.
Quoted from mnpinball:More like Stairway To Heaven............
They would need to make 1000 LEs for that.
Quoted from RobT:Actually Napabar specifically mentioned some type of LCD display being used on ST other than on the main display, including possibly in the apron, so I think he would be "more" right.
I think that's pronounced "righter".
Quoted from mnpinball:Word is that this is Steve's most technically advanced pin.
and here is the reason for the high price tag. Can't wait to see this game
Quoted from mnpinball:More like Stairway To Heaven............
Robert Plant actually hates and regrets that song.
Quoted from DCFAN:They would need to make 1000 LEs for that.
No they wouldn't because the band has been dead for years and is no longer together or touring, etc. nothing against them but would rather have a band still doing things today and I am not the big IM fan either just think if would work well.
Quoted from Zitt:Before you mouth off like that... maybe you should do a little research on the person who spoke up.
My skills are well known here on pinside and in other Pinball / arcade areas
Furthermore- a simple Google search would bring up an outdated resume
You sir are the one who may need a reality check
However, given your location ... we may work for the same ceo
PM sent
My gut tells me that we see a tease today and the full release Thursday like we seen with Metallica.
$500.00 higher price gets you the blue DMD, Shaker motor and Gary Stern's autograph.
It's like they throwing in a free shaker motor and blue DMD.
For an extra $500,000.00 Alice Eve will sleep in your machine for 1 week
Quoted from jarjarisgod:No Khan Edition? Fail...
Who knows as they are running multiple premium versions. - I think this is ingenious on Stern's part. They did this with Tron. A lot of us will be buying back glasses I'm sure.
Quoted from hank527:For an extra $500,000.00 Alice Eve will sleep in your machine for 1 week
Sounds good in theory, but she's not worth it....a lot of pins could be purchased and enjoyed for that kind of scratch
Quoted from zucot:Unplayable and shitty to look at? sounds like ::insertgamenamehere::
Did I troll that right?
Hmm the only game I know of that is unplayable and shitty to look at (besides the new Stern as I leaked earlier but no one will take me seriously) is my F-14 when I first got it.
Quoted from Captive_Ball:Sounds good in theory, but she's not worth it....a lot of pins could be purchased and enjoyed for that kind of scratch
Well...
Quoted from Joshmx19:Hmm the only game I know of that is unplayable and shitty to look at (besides the new Stern as I leaked earlier but no one will take me seriously) is my F-14 when I first got it.
Why should they ever take you seriously? - Obviously your pinball karma points (pkp) is not high enough for you to be taken seriously
Quoted from ronlisa:My gut tells me that we see a tease today and the full release Thursday like we seen with Metallica.
The distributors email from Gary Stern did say the 12th.
Here is a link to the Star Trek Pinball "teaser" Video
