Quoted from Trekkie1978:How many people have placed their order for the game?
I did. Will sell my Pro on order for $16K 
Quoted from robotron:another half-assed release. why cant they announce this with pictures of both pins? almost as bad as jjp's dialed in reveal.
Two things this tells you:
1) Star Wars is delayed
2) Premium artwork is not yet approved
So no premium until the fall.
Star Wars has to be announced before that.
They've made it easier to wait for Star Wars now.
Quoted from Pimp77:No coffin lock is an improvement? I beg to disagree.
Hammer Lock is the coolest lock in pinball IMO.
Quoted from NeilMcRae:how have sales been minuscule? Where do you get this information from?
I've heard this as well. BM66 premium sales have been downright awful.
AS has been WAY better than expected though. Surprise hit.
Quoted from Rarehero:Between B66 LE and SLE that's $3.6 million in sales. Of course I don't know what that breaks down to in profit, but even if they didn't sell one Premium - that doesn't seem like a financial flop to me. Anyway - B66 was front loaded to mega-nostalgists, scalpers, and OCD richies. If they expected to sell many after that, it would have to sell on the merits of the game (fail) and value (fail).
I don't know where the numbers came from, but Premiums are always the lowest produced version of any game. So technically, they really don't dig into sales numbers. They're basically "gravy" sales.
The only exception is Metallica. Which sold a s**t-ton of premiums.
Quoted from Rarehero:Wrong. 500 AC/DC LE's ...thousands of Premiums sold. 500 Ghostbusters LE's. Thousands of Premiums sold. 500 Walking Dead LE's. Thousands of Premiums sold.
Very few games have Premium flops...it's only when the game itself isn't desirable, like Avengers. Or perhaps when the LE has bigger numbers like Star Trek...wouldn't be surprised if they sold more than 800 ST Premiums, though.
You're misinterpreting. Pros outsell them all worldwide. That's what I'm saying.

Quoted from Culibri:I´m still waiting too, why anybody have pics of the new AC DC premium VE yet ? Also anybody knows if the same subwoofer will be installed.... ?
Fall reveal, I believe.
