Quoted from iloveplywood:Wow, that artwork is amazing. Tough to swallow paying NIB prices though at this point when you can get a used for 4800 or so. Still, oddly tempted . . .
TWD pinball with comic artwork would be awesome. Kind of surprised they didn't do this in the first place.
Probably because it's a SAM game with a DMD.
Quoted from FalconDriver:Ok what’s next TWD vault with comics?
I mean, this is a tremendous idea.
Very cool. I dig my SW game, but definitely like the look of this one as well. I hope Stern considers this with other suitable projects as well (like Tron, LOTR, TWD, Stern IJ) when they consider doing other Vault titles.
Separate question, is MSRP for Stern Pros now $6k? Or are they pricing this version higher?
Quoted from Richthofen:I mean, this is a tremendous idea.
Yes indeed. It would be wise for them to go this route. I really dig what they just did for SW. Nicely done imo.

Quoted from FatPanda:Probably because it's a SAM game with a DMD.
Spiderman was a SAM game with a DMD and it got vaulted with new art and new animations.
Quoted from Richthofen:Spiderman was a SAM game with a DMD and it got vaulted with new art and new animations.
And Stern just built some new Star Treks this past year so they're not opposed to rebuilding SAM games (unless that Star Trek run was supposed to get rid of all extra SAM parts leftover)
Quoted from Richthofen:Spiderman was a SAM game with a DMD and it got vaulted with new art and new animations.
True, but Stern was just entering the LCD era at that point, so they probably had a lot of DMDs to use up 
Quoted from o-din:[quoted image]
There are already a few SW in the marketplace, with at least one person saying they're ordering one with the new art...

I would say anything is possible when it comes to a new vaulted version of something like GOT or TWD with new art. Ghostbusters, GOT and Star Trek have all had new batches run in the last 12 months. Significant code updates coupled with new art can definitely churn up some new interest in a title. New art is going to cannibalize the resale price on pro models with the old art, but used game prices are not really Stern's concern.
I honestly prefer the cabinet art and backglass on original premium, but the playfield on this new one is stunning. The cabinet and backglass are great, but the original looked good too.
Wow! Why couldn't this title have looked like this when it first launched? I wonder how many will be produced?
Is there enough appetite left in the market for this machine to justify a production run of several hundred premiums, or could this version end up becoming the true "LE", like AC/DC Luci before the vault run?
In any event, much improved art package!
Quoted from xeneize:Wow! Why couldn't this title have looked like this when it first launched?
You don't actually think they would release a better looking version first, do you?
It's all about the continuous money flow now, until the economy takes a turn and the well is all dried up.
Is it possible there was an abundance of assets, and redoing art was a creative way, and affordable, to reintroduce and reduce stock?
I dig the new art. This looks to be a great way for Stern to increase sales and get more people interested in their machines. I hope they continue to do this in the future with their re-releases.
Hopefully they will give the LOTR or TSPP a similar treatment (with appropriate artstyles)... Maybe even Treehouse of Horror!
Quoted from jkashani:I think that this is going to soften the market for the regular art pros and premiums. Kind of sucks for Stern to do this.
Meh, I'm still happy with my Premium and this is no skin off my nuts. Stern never promised not to remake the game, and I think it's pretty cool to have multiple versions out there even if mine's worth a few hundred less as a result.
Quoted from Rarehero:Very nice, it actually looks like a legit pinball machine now instead of a lunchbox.
Lunch (resized).jpgQuoted from Rarehero:This is how everyone who bought an original is looking at Stern today:
Haha pretty much. One middle finger for the pro, the other for the premium I upgraded to. I guess I need a third middle finger for the even bigger loss I'm gonna take if I ever sell it.
What can ya do, win some ya lose some!
I'm still happy with it, as well as my OG Spidey... they both play great and I don't have to worry about playfield issues. I'm just happy that more people will be exposed to what I consider a really fun game that got way more bashing than it should have.
I like the new art, I like to old art too. Never had an issue with my premium, but it’s nice to have options now
Quoted from Rarehero:This is how everyone who bought an original is looking at Stern today:[quoted image]
Personally i don't care but yeah, Stern never gets sick of sticking it to early buyers 
But as I've said before, abusive relationship, they'll be back
art looks great Stern but a miss on the ramps - the Star Wars Home Edition still has better ramps than the Pro Edition
Quoted from konjurer:I’m sure it looks better in person but my first impression is that it’s ugly. I do like the playfield better but the oranges on the cabinet are just yuck.
Some of it looks cool, some of it looks awfull to me. The yellow and orange on the PF are the low point for me... But yeah gotta see it in person to really know.
Wonder why poor C-3PO doesn’t feature on any of the artwork, on either the original or re-run editions of the Premium model
I do like the look of the pro model this time, still the LE is the nicest most cohesive looking out of all the Stern Star Wars models IMO
Quoted from FalconDriver:Ok what’s next TWD vault with comics?
If Stern produced TWD comic version they would sell boat loads.
Quoted from Hawks:Wonder why poor C-3PO doesn’t feature on any of the artwork, on either the original or re-run editions of the Premium model

Maybe he wanted too much $ for being on the premium!
