Quoted from extraballingtmc:So should premiums be a month after le's?
They're next up, but Stern is running other games on the line too. Hopefully it's a month or less before the premiums are going out in good numbers.

I would hope sooner than a month. If they sorted out the delay for the LE's or just shipped them all together there is no reason to hold back the premiums. I'll have to contact my distributer tomorrow to see if there are any estimates.

My distributor told me he's only getting half his order out of the initial batch and I'm in the second half :-/ Oh well, hopefully it's only a couple more weeks

I'm afraid to ask who your distributor is and how big the batch is.
Quoted from Mando:So one guy had his LE ship in the US that seems odd ?
I know of at least 3 others that shipped aside from mine. They were confirmed to have left Stern's factory yesterday.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:I'm afraid to ask who your distributor is and how big the batch is.
Distributors may just not have contacted everyone yet. I'm hoping to hear from mine today, but I was one of the last ones to order from them.
I'm about 2/3 of the way down my distributor's list and have not been asked for the balance of my payment yet. Makes sense if only the first half are shipping now.
Wooohooo!
Just got the call from the shipper. My LE is sitting in their terminal, 15 minutes from me. I'll be picking it up in a couple hours.
If you ordered a premium today, what are the odds that gb would be available on pinball arcade before you actually got your machine?
Wow! Can't wait to hear some nice unboxing stories and reviews on pins set up well where you can hear the full sound.

The sound is amazing on this pin.
The Game Exchange did a live stream at one of the shows and had the sound coming through the headphone jack on the Spike board.
No show noise and just crystal clear sound.
It was really impressive.

There's a definite sound improvement on the SPIKE system.

Please share photos / initial thoughts. So excited for you! What a July 4th weekend treat. Where are all those people saying August?

Congrats buddy. Just in time for a long weekend.
When I got the call from the freight company today, I was expecting to hear the machine just left Stern. They said it's at the terminal and they'll delivery it on Tuesday. The terminal is 10 miles away.
No brainer....road trip to the terminal!!!
"Very soon" for me.
I finally got to play a GB pro today in Corpus Christi at the movie theatre. 6 games or so is all i had time for.
The flipper gap, not a big deal, can live with that.
The right ramp? Or whatever that is, no offense to Pro owners but that I couldn't live with.
This Stern pro is really great by comparison of previous ones.
I've got to get a whole lot more games at home on this to get a good feel. "Who brought the dog" again and again, even though its only 3 easy shots, might get very old fast.
Quoted from xfassa:Video or it didn't happen.
Congrats!
Don't do video just yet.
Just bought a Nikon D3200 that can do HD.
Just need to find time to give it a try

No worries, just go enjoy your awesome machine. I will just sit here and be green with envy. 
LE looks great though congrats !
Quoted from Trekkie1978:I'm afraid to ask who your distributor is and how big the batch is.
Don't listen to him. He started a bs thread about wanting to buy a LE 4 weeks ago and then said he was happily awaiting a premium then moderator shut him down. He is a bs person on here. Go see his 5 min thread "wanted ghostbusters LE Premium" and then see if you believe his disti story of him even getting a machine. Laughable.
Someone just posted they took the Stern factory tour today with their family.
Mentioned that Jody even let the kids play a Ghostbusters Premium.
Good news that they have finished Premiums on the floor unless he was mistaken. But he seemed to know what he was talking about.
Gorgeous. All she needs now is green t-molding around the backbox. Not sure I'd change the coin door color. Maybe to green, but that might make it too much green. Definitely not silver.
Love it! Sure is a lot of green! The green to me seems a shade or two off. Off of what I'm not sure but maybe just not quite the shade I was expecting. No matter though still great to see and looking forward to mine for sure.
How's it play out of the box? Any first impressions you can share would be great.
LE guys, please keep us informed at first play impressions. What did you do right away? Is the extra ball and pbl springs needed out of the gate still? Quality of balls?
I'm awaiting a premium and would like to be ready when it arrives.

I was told mid-July on my premium. First impressions was that might be premature, but looks feasible now.
Quoted from woody76:I was told mid-July on my premium. First impressions was that might be premature, but looks feasible now.
Me too. I checked with my distributer yesterday. I ordered in April and beleive in in the first premium batch.
Quoted from Indypin:Hey Indy, who did you order your pin from? I ordered mine from Trent and was told mine is at least (2) weeks away. Just curious since we both live in Indiana.
What number on the list are you? I can't imagine Stern has shipped all the LEs yet.
I know some distros didn't get their full allocation of LE models on the same shipment. I would imagine most of them.

Who sells this?
did you use a flash? That green cabinet armor looks off and wish they had put some detail in the armor like they did with stle and acdc le and most other le's had detail. The artwork looks great but not impressed at all with the cabinet armor.

I think it compliments the pin perfectly. There is a lot going on with the artwork on the cab. I think the pin would just look too busy if there was anything else on the armour. Again I'll wager that due to all the other inclusions something had to be taken off. I'd rather have a more packed pf than armor.
The stern armour with proton beams look great as a stand alone but put on the Le it would just look a bit much in my opinion.
I think the cabinet art looks awesome but I wonder if glossy black armor wouldn't have been a better choice. The green might be a little much and take away from the cabinet artwork. I'm not a big fan of the lolly pop style rails around the flipper buttons and think they cover too much of the artwork.
In my minds eye glossy black armor with standard rails (non lollypop) would have been the cats ass...
