Stern, 2019Quoted from Allibaster:I feel like I’m pretty low on the list. Hopefully, enough people ahead of me have changed their minds or found one from other distributors.
I got the same text from Zach saying that EHOH will be ready in 2-14 days, however I already picked up a second hand EHOH a few months ago so Zach cancelled my order.

I have a feeling this situation will be happening more than expected. I did the same thing. I was on a couple lists. Glad I did it too. Got my premium from original owner, already decked out with art blades, topper, shaker, Medisynal set, and a few other things. Saved me some money and time.

Quoted from Rockbiter:If you want to use the LE Kenwood speakers you may order the kit from pinballlife with everything you need - speakers, spacers, bracket, etc. Link below. If you want to use your own 5.25" speakers, you can order just the LE speaker light kit from them that includes everything but the speakers for $60.
https://www.pinballlife.com/rgb-led-round-speaker-upgrade-and-light-kit-for-most-stern-spike-2-pro-premium-machines.html
You are mistaken with your statement on adding your own 5.25" speakers with their $60 light kit. That light kit, while it includes the 5.25" speaker plates, is not intended for 5.25" speaker use. Its 3D printed light rings are made to use 4" speakers. So, it is basically a light ring / adapter to use 4" speakers on a 5.25" speaker plate. At least going that route makes the lit holes a 5.25" size that are centered and does not have the terrible looking bars through the speaker holes like the factory 4" speaker plates. The black 3D printed rings are in direct view, and they use standard RGB LED light strips that are stuck on them. This looks pretty janky in my opinion, and I am guessing that is why they instruct people to leave the speaker foam in place when they are installed (which also looks off, in my opinion, with the round lit holes).
The only "pick your own" 5.25" speaker option they have like that would be to get their round LE light kit for $50 and add the 5.25" speaker plates separately for $50. In that case, you might as well get their full Kenwood kit for the same price....or better yet, the 5.25" speaker plate / Deluxe 5.25" Speaker Light Kit combo I have available, which includes a better light kit.
Having mentioned that, the $100 light kit / 5.25" speaker combo that PBL have available, have some key aspects that make them quite different than my Deluxe 5.25" Speaker Light Kits. Their kits use standard RGB lights instead of the more advanced individually addressable light strip that my deluxe light kits use, and the light strips are just stuck on their light rings as opposed to being inside the light rings that I sell. These differences were discussed in more detail, previously on this thread:

If anyone has any questions about my Speaker Light Kits or questions about what others are offering, you are welcome to contact me and ask. I know my products quite well and keep up with the folks trying to do what I do. I would almost go as far as to say I know their speaker light products better than they do in many cases. I will be nothing, but honest and maybe a bit opinionated, about the pros and cons on all the products and what each has to offer.

After watching various videos I came to the personal conclusion that Doug’s kit, for reasons he has mentioned, looks best. It might cost me a bit more to buy speakers and then his kit, but not by much and I think it’s worth it. Just my 2 cents.

Only problem that I have Doug is once I started putting them in my Sterns my ocd nature is buying them for every new stern purchase! They are good, my pins look lifeless without them.

Thanks, Doug. I've purchased your kits in the past. Many folks who upgrade their Pros and Premiums from stock backbox go with 4" speakers. My go-to are Kicker CS or DS series 4" speakers, which sound miles better than the Kenwood 1366 5.25" speakers that Stern ships with their LE's (and are the ones packaged in the kit you reference in this post). This is especially true when they are paired with a dedicated amplifier. Do you have 4" round speaker light kit options you can recommend for us?
I still like the square Type 12 light kits with the foam. I have to put them on every game (except the ones that need flames of course.)

No, not that only light around the 4" speakers in a SPIKE 2 game.
I'm not sure if upgraded 4" speakers would work with the $60 PBL kit that makes the 5.25" lit holes, as they state: Not compatible with most Stern SPIKE 2 LE models or any Stern SPIKE 2 machines that have aftermarket speakers installed.
Anything, or even nothing, is better than the light kits that go behind the factory 4" speaker plates that some people sell. I just don't understand who could like those off-center 4" lit holes with the ugly looking bars running through them. Better to have no light kit at all than that crap, in my opinion.
So, if a person was set on using upgraded 4" speakers, I would recommend my Deluxe light kits that light the entire grill area and leaving the foam in (unless they are using a speaker panel design that looks worse with the foam behind it).
Of course, I suspect more people are moving up to 5.25" speakers if they are doing a speaker upgrade, be that the Kenwood 5.25" speakers or another type. In that case I would recommend my 5.25" speaker plate / Deluxe 5.25" Speaker Light Kit combo for the upgrade. It costs a bit more than the all-in-one kit offered by PBL, but you can pick your own speakers and it's a much better light kit (diffused individually addressable RGB light strips vs standard RGB light strips in view).
So, in summary....if a person is using 4" speakers, I think they should use a light kit that lights the entire grill area (my Deluxe type 12 is the best option for that). If one is opposed to lighting up the entire grill area and are using the stock factory 4" speakers...the "round" choice would be the PBL $60 kit. Though, while it is the best looking for round lighting and using the stock 4" speakers....I still don't think it looks very good. As I do not like the look of a lit hole with the foam over it and that kit is not made to be shown off and used without the foam (with the black 3D printed light ring in direct view). I would consider it the lesser of other evils that would only be the top preference in a very specific circumstance as much better options would be available if a person went with lighting the entire grill or moving up to 5.25" speakers of some sort.

even it is a bit more i go with the real kit at speaker lights because they look the best and are quality . 100% pinwoofer speakers and amps - kenwood are low grade and no better then the 5 dollar stock speakers . pinwoofers are the best sounding by a mile .
Quoted from barroncaliber:kenwood are low grade and no better then the 5 dollar stock speakers . pinwoofers are the best sounding by a mile .
Alrighty then…..
Dealers are getting games today and the start of next week. If you are after this game, do not hesitate to buy because all the dealers I spoke to are only getting half of what they ordered. These are also some of the biggest Stern dealers! Orders for 40 and 20 games have been sliced right in half.
I'm not sure if there will be more to come or this is it for production of this title.
Good luck to everyone out there looking to buy one!

It's hard to believe..... finally here.
I wonder what production improvements have been made on this (assumed) final run.
Hope they do something for the extra $2300
Would be so cool if they had the vendor adjust the crypt gap and fix it (yeah, I know - never happen).

dr evil (resized).jpegHow much are you all being invoiced for this game now? I received an invoice for $10,800!!! My jaw dropped.
Quoted from Lateralus:How much are you all being invoiced for this game now? I received an invoice for $10,800!!! My jaw dropped.
Thats with tax? Cause it's 10,500 retail.
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Thats with tax? Cause it's 10,500 retail.
Maybe $300 shipping? Sounds about right if no deposit on it already.
Quoted from PanzerKraken:Thats with tax? Cause it's 10,500 retail.
Yeah seems like that's with tax and shipping, so I forgot about the $10,500 increase..
Damnit! I didn't think I was getting one so I sold my Medisinyl mods on this thread like a month or 2 ago...
Sigh... Stupid me.
Quoted from VisitorQ:I'm happy to get one but have a feeling it's going to be too easy of a game. I really hope this is not the case.
I think it is an easy shooter, but I’m not that great a player so it’s a wash, I can definitely see this as a long playing pin like SM or LotR. Not the biggest fan of easy shooters but it’s got a lot of rules to complete so that would make sense to get longer games.
Quoted from VisitorQ:Shipping is crazy these days, I would expect upwards towards 500 bucks honestly.
I was going to ship a pin from WA to Minnesota, $ 750 with STI. Guy backed out
Quoted from VisitorQ:I'm happy to get one but have a feeling it's going to be too easy of a game. I really hope this is not the case.
It can definitely have longer game times depending on setup. Tighten the tilt bob, outlanes wide open, steep pitch. You'll be fine.
Anyone see what the apron looks like, i.e. which side is IC on and and is the IC the smaller style cutout hole like Bond Nd Godzilla or the big triangle hole used on earlier games?
Quoted from docquest:Anyone see what the apron looks like, i.e. which side is IC on and and is the IC the smaller style cutout hole like Bond Nd Godzilla or the big triangle hole used on earlier games?
I think that video is the only thing we have to go on so far but dealers are getting games as soon as today.
Quoted from docquest:Anyone see what the apron looks like, i.e. which side is IC on and and is the IC the smaller style cutout hole like Bond Nd Godzilla or the big triangle hole used on earlier games?
I will be ordering on as soon as we know what side. I know they are back ordered, but it’s a must have.
Quoted from PinStalker:Hope they do something for the extra $2300
giphy (11).gifQuoted from PanzerKraken:So how to buy one with the wife not finding out what the price is....
Step 1: remove money from mattress
Step 2: put stacks of paper back in mattress so your wife can’t feel the difference 
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:It can definitely have longer game times depending on setup. Tighten the tilt bob, outlanes wide open, steep pitch. You'll be fine.
I didn’t find it easy at all (but I suck) it seemed like the tops of the slings were perfectly engineered to send the ball down the opposite outlane . But now I’m picking up another one so maybe I’ll have better luck with it.

Good! I like a challenge.
I played the game 3 times in the past and made it to Gappa, unlocked 25 of the 69 achievements.
Quoted from VisitorQ:Yeah, it's one of the lowest achievement games Stern has just so people like you could get a chuckle from it.
sigh
People like me? Cheeky and immature! I’ll take it lol
Quoted from Sheev_Palpatine:People like me? Cheeky and immature! I’ll take it lol
I'm the same way but honestly, 69 for the sake of an inside joke? I would rather have more achievements myself.
Quoted from VisitorQ:I'm the same way but honestly, 69 for the sake of an inside joke? I would rather have more achievements myself.
Maybe 2469 achievements?? 
Quoted from CoolCatPinball:Maybe 2469 achievements??
Hell I would settle for 169.
