Wasn't the back pyramid panel supposed to be more "3D" and somewhat different from the Pro version? Obviously hard to tell from these pictures, but it looks the same to me.

Quoted from Blacksun:If you prepaid for an LE you should check your mailbox... You should have gotten an email from your disty with a dropbox link to all the pics... Both low and High res. They are asking not to make these public...........

There is more there.. you just can't see it easily. There is a statue figure on the left that is separate and moves up.

Hmmm... this is strange. Seems like that means nothing official today then? And even less of a chance for a look at the Premium? Who knows.
Quoted from NimblePin:Maybe they could still save it with Eddie in a Santa suit with a sack full of decapitated heads?
“Christmastime in Maiden laaaannnd.”
"Friends to the End"!
Quoted from jar155:Harsh crowd!
Nah, just an avid Maiden fan that despises Christmas in general.

Maybe the fact that I like it should have tipped me off. I don't like Iron Maiden and really don't like the heavy metal aesthetic in general. I guess that probably means it's somewhat off brand.

Email says "The licensor has first public release posting rights. You will not see these images on Stern's website until we get the go ahead from the licensor"

Why all the secrecy?
Don't they want to sell games?
it just amazes me time after time that Stern is never the first to release the pics first, when will they learn???
Quoted from NimblePin:Sounds like you need a Supreme then Jar!
The Supremes got a pinball machine?! Pre or post Diana Ross departure?
Quoted from Blacksun:Email says "The licensor has first public release posting rights. You will not see these images on Stern's website until we get the go ahead from the licensor"
Probably a Legacy of the Beast email or twitter post announcing the machine. I get those emails all the time for the app.

Public in 3...2...1...
Quoted from Shapeshifter:Why all the secrecy?

Dunno, Probably because they want payments for these LE's since they were rumored to be in production... I am not liking the LE at all, Now would like to see what the premium looks like before I ask for my deposit back....
Quoted from jefryan:I was told the official public reveal will be next week barring any unforeseen changes. That lines up with the band's reveal as well which will more than likely hit all of their social media sites as well.
I was told that this "reveal" is a shitshow. The only rumor that I can't really argue with at this point.

I am I the exact same boat and agree completely

I'm hearing this all over the place.

I don't disagree.
Quoted from flynnibus:There is more there.. you just can't see it easily. There is a statue figure on the left that is separate and moves up.
I wonder if the Cyborg Eddie figure does anything now. There's a lamp now pointed right at it.
Im wondering if a dark metallic blue would have been a better choice for armour? The red looks good but I can see where it has a holiday vibe going on. Anxious to see the Premium.

I will reserve judgement until better pics are available. It might not be the side art but the red powder coat that is making some people say it's too colorful. I don't know, I still think it looks pretty cool. With all the hype and waiting did any of you guys honestly think this was going to exceed expectations? With how well the pro has been received and the excessive wait time for the premium/LE reveal, it's all not exactly working in their favor right now.
I think the LE looks great! The foil accents will make the plane look awesome! Granted, the red/green combo IS a little like x-mas, but it’s definitely a unique look for anyone’s lineup.
Edit: I’m not a fan of the band so I wasn’t hoping for something darker or more like an album cover.
Quoted from gweempose:So there are absolutely no differences in the gameplay between the pro and the premium/LE?
I think the only gameplay differences Is the ramp raising and from my understanding shooting the captive ball to knock the other ball out for multiball.
While the playfield is great, I don't particularly like the Pro or LE art (namely the Trooper art in general [which is giant on the Pro and present on the LE]). However, Powerslave is my favorite artwork from Maiden (and the title track one of my favorite Maiden songs), so I have high hopes for the Premium. Just need to get my ACNC number from Spooky to know where my pin money is going in the near future.
Quoted from jar155:The Supremes got a pinball machine?! Pre or post Diana Ross departure?
For you Jar, you can have it both ways ala TF premium.
Cab art split right down the middle.
(Unlike their paychecks...)
Heck,
I’d settle for a TB burrito supreme at this point in time. This weaksauce LE reveal is already getting me all Aurich-gradient fill-Emotional up in here!
Distributors were told "The licensor has first public release posting rights. You will not see these images on Stern’s website until we get the go ahead from the
licensor."
Quoted from trilamb:I did ma'am.
Maybe I’m crazy about slow playing release but I see you are reading the comments after pictures were released so please tell me how “hilarious” I am.
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:I think the only gameplay differences are the ramp raising and from my understanding shooting the captive ball to knock the other ball out for multiball.
Ah. Got it.
The LE is a Hot mess! It looks pieced together....the pro’s art package is more appealing to the eyes. I am requesting my LE deposit be refunded, and hope for an attractive Premium. If not, I will own a pro.
Quoted from knockerlover:Distributors were told "The licensor has first public release posting rights. You will not see these images on Stern’s website until we get the go ahead from the
licensor."
At the same time, they release the images. 
Quoted from bemmett:Lets just leave it as this -
Pro owners will love the Pro and trash everyone else's decisions
Premium owners will think they got the best art and all the playfield toys at a lesser cost
LE owners will swallow their true opinions and learn to love the LE art and extras and have a truly limited game for better or worseand at the end of the day we'll all have a cool game that hopefully we love.
You've been around here for a while haven't you?
Quoted from TheLaw:OMG a Stern release is a mess...whom saw that coming?
This hasn't happened since...I mean other than yesterday...the original Iron Maiden reveal
This looks like an intentional way to sidestep the requirements. Stern knows they are going to be shipping games.. they know customers want to see it, but they can't. But they can share with their distributors... that stern KNOWS will share with the customers. It's a leak they know will get out... but their hands will be clean.
