LOL gotta love it!!
Quoted from mnpinball:There is NO 3rd LE version. Rumor put to rest.
Again to assure everyone, just got another message back today from Stern- Shelly Sax (head of distribution). No other LE's in the works. 300 BIBLE and 200 LTBRLE and that's it !
I would be a little upset myself but I personally think the whole LE thing will play itself out over time.....LE won't be so special after 50 different versions and sorry but 500 or 1000 isn't that "limited"...especially since most will be maintained in top condition...

Wasn't concerned so much about "limited" status. Primary concern was introduction of a different/better model that I might have chosen had it been disclosed. Glad that issue is off the table.

Again, i buy the ac/dc Le not because the value of it will hold over the years. I buy it to keep it. I'm a big Ac/Dc and a big pinball fan. And I want to put it at least for a few weeks also it's a LE in my little pub to let other people play it. But when I pay so much money then i want the best version of this game. The version that i think is looking the best.
The Problem is they are sold out so quickly and I had to make the order unseen. If there were enough LEs for everyone I had waited till they released pictures to pick the one I like the most.
The LE buyer are taking a big risk, the Premium buyer could wait till it is confirmed that the game is a winner. A few more LE’s won’t hurt, but I would like to know the numbers before I order one. So it’s good to hear they stick to the plan.
I don't know if I will get the LE, there is no confirmation yet, but I hope so.
Back to the topic, for me personal I would like to have the LTBR LE. That is the quintessential Album of the Band. “Back to Black” for me is the best album, but “Let there be rock” is the one that made AC/DC, it’s the birth.
I don’t like this BS vs. BJ discussion, they are both great. And I would also be happy if BJ would be on the Backglass of the LtbR LE. Please STERN show us pictures!!!!!!^^
But that's all just eye candy the important thing is, I realy hope that as many people as possible will have fun with this pinball machine!
And sorry for my bad english, i`m from germany.
LET THERE BE ROCK!!!!

Well said!
Quoted from McCune:gambit3113 said:That. Is. Terrible.
Why ?
Did you look at them? That's why.
Quoted from gambit3113:Did you look at them? That's why.
Hell yes I looked at them and have money on one . I am a fan and it looks AC/DC to me !
What would make you happy ? Actually, I don't care what makes you happy !

Quoted from gambit3113:If the backglasses looked like any of those buttons or cool swag, they would be awesome. But they don't. They look like some cheap Stern shit instead. What would I like? I would like Gary Syern to get off is fat, lazy ass and do something that was actually Rock and effing Roll for this title. Not Potoshop Turdville. Not awful stock photo. You do care what I think, too. Ptherwise you wouldn't post pics in defense of your stance, after telling me you don't care. You know I'm right, too.
Wow, Gambit... you sound like your avatar! 
hehehe
Quoted from McCune:I have had AC/DC pins for over 30 years . I have proof .
I would be worried if you had a blow up your video pin, Jim.

Has nothing to do with Gary.
Posted by Steve Ritchie himself about the backglass LE art on facebook:
Steve Ritchie "There CAN'T BE a Bon Scott edition. The band respects Bon very much but he's gone and Brian Johnson is their "new"singer".
Steve Ritchie "Bon Scott sings on many of the tunes in our game. This is the best we can do. AC/DC management wants it like this, and I can see why. They have been great to work with, and we will respect every one of their wishes and stipulations without fail".
I think the backglasses are great! Using actual photos of the band works here. Geez, it's AC/DC! That's what they look like and that is exactly what I would expect to see...

The pictures were not only for you . I was sharing my old pin collections with the group.

NB
Quoted from McCune:Here is the premium translite
Looks pretty cool! I actually like it much more than the other translites for AC/DC.
Quoted from The_Gorilla:I got lost in the abbreviations. LTBR? Love the butt rub
I agree, they are gettting carried away. I feel the pins actual name should be first at all times.
Examples:
ACDC
ACDCBIB
ACDCLT or ACDCLTBR
Those are just a few that come to mind. Using BIB first and dropping the ACDC is wrong. It is a version of the ACDC pin.
I feel there should be a limit on length as well. I want to be fair and use WOZECLE as the example. Why not just use WOZLE? How about WOCEC? They are getting out of hand.

Depends on the numbers produced. TAF had over 20k machine made then 1,000 gold. That is not many. Now they made 1,369 CP pins. If 1,000 were LE it would not make a big difference. I that case the lower number of non-LE's might be worth more.
Quoted from McCune:My AC/DC pin will always be the BIBLE .. Last thing that I want to happen is for WOZ to guys name my AC/DC pin !
I don't care what you call your WOZECLE .
I was not saying either one is better, I am saying the names are getting silly across the board. I don't consider myself a WOZ guy. I ordered one but I would get a NIB of every pin as they are released if I had the money. The only reason I do not have a Stern on my collection is because there are only a couple here and there are none for sale. I only got WOZ as a retirement gift to myself. I am going to get a SM for my next big purchase pin.
Quoted from VegasAlleycat:Stern apparently underestimated the demand for the LE and is considering a third LE based on another song ...
I'd be all over a Dirty Deeds LE!
I think the Premium back glass is actually pretty good. Looks like it matches the purposeful "damaged" cabinet art, but it works...!
Quoted from McCune:I know what you meant ABSO.. I was just jabbing ..
I hope, I never have to spend my hard earned money on a NIB pinball machine again ! This should be a once in a lifetime purchace for me .
I figured that. I hear you on the NIB price. I always said I would never spend that much on a pin. That went out the window with WOZ. 
Some people were wondering the reason for the Premium and LE code links on Stern's site so I did some asking. The game features are the same, it's the sounds that get the difference in code.
The sound details:
The quick short answer is as follows.
The main difference and improvement was the additional added memory which not only increases the quantity but the quality of the sounds via sample rates.
The detailed technical info.
Voice has twice the sampling rate that of previous games. Top speakers are wired in series rather than in parallel which increases impedance from 4 to 16 ohms.
The cap and cross over of course lets the low frequencies pass and go to the sub keeping mid range and high up top where they belong.
Now there IS a difference between the Pro/Premium 8" sub and LE 12"sub which is the reason for the different code options on the Stern site as both get specific EQ samplings.
Also to note the 8" and 12" sub/speaker wiring do use different caps for the cross over (as seen in a pic on pinball news). The sound is drastically upgraded and I applaud Stern for the detail and attention to this.
So in theory a guy could change the cap and back box wiring speakers in previous Stern's to gain a marginal upgrade.
So basically the code difference is the EQ sampling for the difference in kHz. After all the upgrades the frequency was taken from 20hz to 12 kHz. The LE's are gonna POUND.

Just wanted to update this thread, Steve fought to have the 12" sub in the premium as well and won, so the code should be the same now from premium to LE. There will be no difference in the top tier models, both get the best sound possible. Only difference in the LE is numbered plaque, signed playfield, shaker, real backglass, laser cut trim and the red translucent lower arch.

I think all versions look great. I'm waiting for my LTBRLE - just one more week..
I'm a big fan of the Bon songs, cheeky, dirty, bluesy and so went for the LTBRLE,
my first and possibly only NIB ever. The new bloke is good but those old Bon albums
just ROCK!
"Iv'e think Ive got a maaaagic touch! YOW!!!"
Bon Scott was the man. "If your looking for trouble, I'm the man to see" I wish the machine had a little more Bon on it. Gotta love his voice!

Glad Steve won as great experience for all. But begs the question, why buy the LE? Tron LE makes sense LEDs make a difference. But if a shaker (can be added aftermarket), plaque signature and backglass are it - I may go premium on Avengers/XMen. Struggling with the LE pull.
BTW..side armor is cool but one pinsider pointed it out to me - LTBR one does look like McDonalds. Cool side armor but the colors scream Big Mac, filet o fish, quarter pounder french fries....
