Stern, 2019Quoted from TheLaw:Bicycle was a full lifting ramp wasn;t it? This is a little bit diff'rent.
I like this new design. The flap that lifts is after the transition. This will prevent any flap damage to the PF as the contacting portion is stationary. Also since it looks like a constant slope there, it won't have to "double transition" up like Mustang's ramp.
What a shame I'd buy a Premium if it were in color. I certainly don't want to pay the LE price for color and a lower playfield.
Quoted from RobertWinter:Pro - $5,999
Premium - $7,599
LE - $8,999
As per Stern's website.
So I haven't been following prices lately. Does this mean they have raised prices again over the last pin? I'm not counting Primus or Beatles here. Is it going to be higher than Deadpool?

Same as last time.
I'd guess most US retailers may take a small hit on street price (before tax) on the Pro and Premium, since people will be paying considerably more with all but the smallest retailers, due to sales tax.
Quoted from TreyBo69:Looks good. I'm ready for the next hype train to begin though.
I know! That shit was exhausting and I already came.
So what's next?
Quoted from Rarehero:Disagree. I think the B&W looks AMAZING...way more clean and classy & the splashes of color come from the LED lighting. Wow! If I get one of these, the Premium is the one on my radar.
Kind of like GOT. The premium playfield was unique and cooler with the blue color unlike the le and pro.
Quoted from usandthem:Kind of like GOT. The premium playfield was unique and cooler with the blue color unlike the le and pro.
To each their own, but the highly saturated blue on the GOT premium playfield is hard to stomach for most people I know. The black and white on the Munsters premium seems to be done really well though. Looking forward to seeing it in person and find out if it really works well on a full size scale. The all black and white TZ I saw at expo last year was amazing but at the same time overwhelming.
Quoted from PanzerFreak:The premium and LE looks pretty cool at first glance, mini playfield looks awesome as well. Not sure if I dig the black and white look of the premium, LE package looks better in my opinion.
The pro version looks very bare for close to $6k...
The pro's always look a little bare. But you really don't lose anything on this one going pro. If you love Stewie pinball you will probably want the premium/LE is you got tired of it after a few plays the pro is the way to go. Nothing is really different other then the lower playfield from first glance. You get the full game in the pro without the little gimic. Some will love the gimic, I personally don't see $1500 in that gimic.
Quoted from jgentry:I personally don't see $1500 in that gimic.
It's actually a $1600 difference...
Quoted from Neal_W:The right ramp does a backflip in to the wireform. Very interesting.
Similar to Oktoberfest right ramp.
Quoted from RobertWinter:It's actually a $1600 difference...
Even better reason to go pro.
Are people loving the LE look? I personally do not like it at all, that cab is sort of fugly to me. I do like the B/W look though but just don't think Stewie pinball on steroids is worth $1600 more. The Pro has a great art package so if I get one down the road I'll probably go pro on this one.
Stern makes me weary with the same design and same lay out over and over and over.
2 ramps, 2 orbits, a scoop & middle lane to shoot for is right. AC/DC similarities abound.
Glad there are other pinball makers and choices these days, but I keep thinking they will mix it up in some large way. Business model obviously works, which is why they don't.
In any case - I'll prob buy all 3 models just to see which art package I like the best, before selling them off.
Quoted from cscmtp:Herman looks to be the exact size of Magneto
I was thinking it reminded me of the Hulk in Avengers. The Incredible Herman?

B&W looks cool
As mentioned elsewhere I worry all that grey may impact a person's ability to track the ball.
Game looks neat. Hopefully it doesn't have Iron Maiden mech issues or abandoned or slow code.
I'm looking forward to seeing this one develop
Wow it looks like they really put some effort into this one. This looks like a dime piece for Stern. I can't for the life me understand why the went all in on Munsters and so many recent pins don't seem to have the same level of attention.

Exactly. All in on a so-so theme (Munsters), but a half-assed, over-priced embarrassment on The Beatles.
Quoted from Neal_W:Another angle of the lower PF. Left orbit, left saucer/vuk, center machine target, right ramp, right orbit.

Lower playfield is sweet. Better than AC/DC. Not Stewie pinball, lets "unstick" that one.
Quoted from Valorguy:In any case - I'll prob buy all 3 models just to see which art package I like the best, before selling them off.
All 3, wow! That should cover it...
Quoted from Edster:4 flipper buttons on the Prem and LE
Lower pf maybe? Or a magna save?
Quoted from heni1977:Lower pf maybe? Or a magna save?
Magna save would be cool but I think it's for the lower playfield.
Quoted from Edster:4 flipper buttons on the Prem and LE?
Looks like different set of buttons for lower pf.
I haven't liked a Stern since Metallica...but this game is hitting on ALL levels for me. All my complaints from Spike games so far are not present.
-Rules look super fun and not overly complex to grasp
-Music is incredible and perfect
-Tons of real show clips/voices
-Custom voices are varied and all sound great..no Beasts or Bobalee Bobos here!
-Sound FX are awesome, LOVE the laugh track!
-Display looks clean and easy to follow
I'm prob gonna end up with a Premium, but I'm gonna wait and play it first.
Quoted from Edster:Other than B&W and the lower pf, what else is the Prem offering over the Pro?
According to the feature matrix the Pro has a plastic bottom arch, while the Prem/LE are metal. But that's it other than what you mentioned.

Hmm, not sure it's worth the $1500 extra or $3000 for the LE.
I'm not a fan of the theme at all, but I'm really impressed with the game. Great looking art, a pop up in the middle of the ramp, lower playfield with ramps and a VUK, and the playfield materials themselves don't look cheaper than dirt. I'm unsure about the B&W Premium. I think I would rather have color if I was an interested buyer without having to go LE. Been a while since I've seen a Stern look this good.
I know I am in the minority, but I am not feeling it and it looks meh to me. Typical layout-Bash toy in middle, two ramps, a scoop, and pops that do nothing. As for Premium/LE I do not think the mini playfield(including ramps) will be fun. Looks like Stewie Pinball 2.0(if you like FG Stewie-probably would like the one on Munsters as well). I do think it is a great theme for pinball and will sell well. I am definitely waiting on the sidelines on this one. The Pro may grow on me when I get a chance to play it, but for now it does nothing for me. If anyone needs to sell a HUO/collector quality older title to buy the latest and greatest Munsters-hit me up.
