What does your distributor say?
Quoted from Aurich:What does your distributor say?
Been saying next week, then next week..Says Stern isn't shipping any out & hasn't shipped for 2 weeks..Can't get confirmation from Stern, they tell me to talk to my distributor... I see people unboxing, but who knows how long ago they were shipped..
I was told by my distributor a few days ago "It should be soon" . Not sure if that means this week, next week or next month.. I know its going to be worth the wait but this waiting crap really blows!
Aren't people waiting on their Kiss Premiums too? Man, this industry, even Stern slips up. So many moving parts, no one can keep all the balls in the air without dropping a few sometimes.

It happens, some things are understandable. A little communication from Stern Would go a long way.
It may have to do with not wanting to further piss off KISS Premium orders who have orders in since early May.
For all of you premium road case owners, I have an extra pro translight poster to replace your old men one. If your interested please PM me. Thanks.
Just ordered a Monsters Premium. Sounded like Pro still available, too. Was told they are scheduled for the line end of this week (not sure if that is any prior orders too or just like this current batch).
I was tempted to wait and see how GoT Premium turns out, but I figured it was probably my last chance at a NIB Metallica. If GoT does turn out to be awesome it will be around awhile.

Just got our NIB LED Pro last week.
The game is spectacular.

Any decal issues?
Can someone please give me a quick rundown of the differences between the new premiums and the earlier runs. Thanks!
Quoted from gweempose:Can someone please give me a quick rundown of the differences between the new premiums and the earlier runs. Thanks!
I believe the only difference is the new style backbox. Everything else should be the same.
Quoted from BillySastard:I believe the only difference is the new style backbox. Everything else should be the same.
So the lighting system is still the exact same for both the GI and the inserts?
1 week later

Quoted from Xenon75:Its seems Metallicas, Kiss Premium, and Iron Man Vaults are being pushed back in favor of GoT.
IM vaults already shipped - I got mine early september

I'll echo that, pinballrefinery has been working on my IMVE machine for a cpl wks. I'm glad my short 2-3 wk wait is near over, I feel for you guys waiting multiple mos from Stern, the big boy.
Quoted from WeirPinball:IM vaults already shipped - I got mine early september
Not all of them. I'm still waiting on mine.

Quoted from Rob_G:Don't forget the Sparky plastic on your new MET games. It stops the many airballs from the feet...

Where can I get one at?
Quoted from Zampinator:Where can I get one at?
I think he is referring to the Sparky one here:
http://www.pinbits.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=13_74&zenid=d455d80b8d6f31122e4130c4d64c1524
It can be purchased individually or in one of the available sets.

Quoted from Zampinator:Picked up my Metallica from Steve @ Pinballrefinery.com with all the mods installed today.
It looks perfect! I decided to send the apron out for powder coating, luckily I had a spare @ the house.
Thanks again Steve!20151015_195352.jpg 20151015_195426.jpg 20151015_195837.jpg
You might want to consider getting one of their powder coated coin doors as well. I almost passed on it, but it really ties in nice with the other armor and the artwork. Mine is the same purple as yours, but it looks a little different in this lighting.

Yes it does! The apron is getting powder coated now, I'll probably remove the coin door & have it done as well. That just looks too good purple!

I think your Lion was decapitated.
Quoted from centerflank:I think your Lion was decapitated.
Lol! Yes for the dry wall to be patched.
Quoted from Leachdude:Finally in the Premium club. Someone needs to make a speaker panel for the road case, and the DD version just does not look right.

I like the Roadcase cabinet, the translight & the speakers kill it for me though..

Congrats.. Still waiting on mine to ship.
I contacted Pingraffix a few weeks ago asking if they could come up with a speaker panel overlay that better matches the Road Case Cabinet art. I haven't heard anything back yet, but hoping they will eventually come up with something to replace the DD speaker artwork that the Road Case currently ships with.

Translight is an easy swap out......wonder how easy that speaker grill decal pulls off?

If you're lucky, it just falls off

Quoted from Slugmeister:Got mine.Looks just about perfect.No decal issues and the clear looks great.Such a great lightshow on this pin.My first Stern and I'd put this one up there with some of the B/W A-listers.IMG_5314.JPG IMG_5307.JPG
My decals were perfect for 4 months before they started peeling just for a heads up
