Saw the pics from the other Thread. Got the confirmation mine is shipping this week to PA. Can't wait!
In for a Refinery Edition Premium. Looking forward to receiving it in 2023 and more game updates/pics/videos in meantime!

Refinery Edition?
I’ve got two machines that I picked up used that he had powder coated for the previous owner and they are beautiful (especially the gold IMDN prem)

Cool! I have a maiden too from him!
Technically in the club for a Premium, could be fkn ages before it lands over here in Oz though 
Still showing as late Feb with the distro but my latest info from them is they still don't know what their allocation will be for the Premiums.
It's a waiting game so in the meantime i'll just get all jealous and grumpy watching you bastids get yours first 
I should have my Pro next week - curious what folks are thinking for powder coating on the pro? Wondering if anything beyond red would make sense...
Watched the latest vid that was posted. Code still has a long long way to go. Theme song waaay overused, video clips are minimal and seem to cut in and out a lot due to everything that is happening in game. Hopefully they can smooth that out so you can process what the heck is happening.

Still sounds like a slot machine, too. I know Gomez indicated that sounds were not final, though, so that's good.
Quoted from Daditude:Great club. Maybe I can join someday. This is a dream theme for me.
Would love to know if there will be Sean Connery call outs of him just saying "Octo-pussy multi ball" over and over
Quoted from Black_Knight:Given the history of pre paid money in pinball? No.
Are there any actual owners in here yet?
I paid for my LE (what feels like) a year ago, but I won’t add it to my collection list until I pick it up 
Quoted from SlapDrain:Invoice for my premium paid! Can I be in the club yet?
Who invoices for something that isn't built yet? Did I miss something?

Ok nothing see here

Ya, i didn't think they would be on the line for at least 2 weeks but who knows
Quoted from mstang01:Premiums are supposed to be Jan. Dec. is LEs and left over TMNT and LZ
I thought lz was on the line the first and second weeks in October and TMNT was the third and forth weeks of October? I guess things changed from the build schedule i wrote down from a flipnout podcast a few months ago.

I am hoping the rumors about a Goldfinger edition are real, since that is my favorite Bond flick
Quoted from Ty-Arnold:Do any locations have their pros yet? Going to a couple different locations in Illinois this weekend. Will I see a pro?
Call the specific locations your going to and ask.

Yesterday was really just the first day they were leaving the factory. So really only anyone who picked up local would have one now. Stern Army games will be trickling out and depends on the shipping arrangements. Expect games to be showing up over the next 2 weeks, but Thanksgiving throws a wrench in everyone's plans too.
Hope to have ours within a week.

They were already run. It sounded like a few stragglers they maybe didn’t have all the parts to finish up or something (it was the update from episode 117 of the pinball show podcast).
Hoping for delivery tomorrow but with the holiday I wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t till Friday or Monday.
Just set mine up at 417 Taphouse in Springfield, Mo! I underestimated how well this game was going to shoot. Really fun layout and I'm excited to see the code progress.
Code is .68 if anyone is interested.

Feels way better than it looked on that Gomez stream. Didn’t feel like there was excessive pop action. Played like DP but with more left and right, vertical movement like IM.
Bottom line, felt better than rush or mando did to me on first plays.

I have a deposit on a premium, so i'll be waiting a while longer unfortunately

Good summary and I agree.

Bloomington set up last night, and Peoria will have theirs soon.

You can come play mine when it comes in!

Just started that episode and yup you are right.

How did he drop the upper left flipper when he was holding a ball on the lower left flipper? Does that automatically do that?

I understand that Stern mark their prototype games and promotional material as **subject to change**, however, I cannot be the only person that is disappointed when we see details like this missing in the production runs.
The image on the left is from a production game and on the right is the promotional material from Stern’s website.
How many would like stern to add this back in?
