I think they're probably slow-ish relative to a normal new release like Deadpool, but it's a limited run of a re-themed updated layout so that's expected.

Stern is sold out to distributors, which happens with most every new release, but it's truly "SOLD OUT" when I don't have 5 Beatles NIB ads at the bottom of the thread. "Sold out" is nearly a meaningless term in modern pinball, used to make pre-orderers feel warm and fuzzy about their order and create some heat for distributors nervously staring at boxes of pins lined up waiting for buyers.

I actually like the product, but just not the price. Beatles music, fun layout, simple rules, magnets, drop targets, looks great. I honestly don't see what's not to like about it. I can't wait to play one because it looks fun. I'm guessing it will be an earner on location.
