Quoted from Atomicboy:

Ugg, I'd be worried with another tv show pin down the road
CSI was much popular in it's hay day then TWD, and now look at that dated game. I get the theme is more attractive, but this is a short term theme, not a classic IMO.

Quoted from Pimp77:

Double digits? So JPOPs runs of 125 aren't limited in your eyes either? Just Magic Girl I guess...at what was it 15?

Quoted from nintendo:

I think Stern should attempt a WIDE BODY for this project. Imagine how much more they can put into it. Probably fit a town, camp site, prison, etc...
We also most definitely need some zombies coming out of the group, or even a feature where a zombie is crawling towards you and you need to shot the ball to knock it back?

Quoted from Nexyss:

If this is true, I don't think I will be buying one of these next year. The Premium models were the best for me. All of the gameplay features without the exclusivity of the LE. This is very disappointing to hear.

Quoted from Nexyss:

If there are only 500 LEs, I have to assume that won't be much of an option in a year when the code is more mature. It still has to be a complete game that I know I like to play before I buy it, so it isn't going to happen until they are out for a while.

Quoted from iceman44:

Not at that price

Quoted from iceman44:

STLE was 7800 from GEX. When you throw in overseas sales that extra $$ makes a huge difference
I don't think they will sell 500 LE's with everything else coming out, including their own premium

Quoted from underlord:

Guys, you're seeing the changes happening right now. Good changes. Next generation support.
TWD as a prime example. There was interest in this title here on Pinside but it was never a landslide over the top hit to be. So why did stern do this title?
Every twenty something I know, and that's a lot, are rabid fans of the show. The idea of an uncaring world they have to survive in relates to their real lives. TV is still very relevant to them, daily, and is an escape just like it was with us older folks. So instead of "playing it safe" with a popular music or movie franchise, and after the failure of lackluster sales of other TV series pins, stern is trying to appeal to us all.
Five twenty-something's now wish they had pinball machines and can't wait to play mine. Before it was like, meh.
It's tangible and it's there. Pinball is going to be great for decades and decades to come.
