Quoted from Sinistarrett:

OK, getting closer to October and hopefully the countdown to this release!
Allegedly, Illinois paparazzi were able to get photos of Elvira herself hard at work in the Stern factory assembling the bony beast ramps...

Elvira LOVE the bony beast! Yeowwwwwwwwwww!

Quoted from wlf_:

Someone at Stern is working OT this weekend! TWIP and Flippin Out podcast had photos but Stern got them pulled down, fast!
They're still findable on FB if you do a search of public posts for "Elvira Pinball"
How do these leaks happen, anyway? Were distros given photos (in which case, I get that one would have loose lips out of the many). Cant imagine someone at Stern has much to gain going rogue sharing them, when Stern is trying to get them pulled down.

I think it's completely calculated. This is genious promotion! They leak pics that don't show all the detail, so they leave plenty to our imagination: "I can't really see it, but it must be great, right?!!!"

This promotes the machine but doesn't give it all away -- like a JJP Pirates reveal, for example. Then they manipulate again and request that the pics are pulled.

This way, they've generated interest/discussion, yet they control the actual details so we won't get sick of this (premature) rollout.

This isn't the first time a Stern "leak" has happened a few weeks before release...and won't be the last. I'd bet money on it.

Looks like it might be ok, depending on code and Elvira's iconic callouts (?). But it looks like a kind of a generic, open fan layout - as others have said.

Since I have limited funds and room, I might save my $ for a JP2 if they can confirm no clearcoat issues on the unit (or purchase a chipped/used one at a discount). I've played JP2: IMO the layout and depth are Dialed In-level of genius...with a theme that I like (not a cell phone theme).

So thanks for the leaks, Stern! Helps me figure out which of your fine games I will purchase.

this would look great next to my ACNC! only if they've fixed the PF mess! LOL .... (they would be insane not to!)

I love it: "It's only a game!"
