Looks like only custom voice work from Ernie Hudson.
Would have been nice for the others to have done some as well.

Quoted from BeaglePuss:I'll be putting a deposit down on a premium today. Looking forward to my first ever NIB purchase.
I'm in the same boat.
As for the negative LE reaction, I totally get it. WAY over board with the green. It just looks tacky IMO. I'm just happy the premium wasn't the LE b/c I would have been out even more money. The premium is one of the nicest pinball arts period. Just recently I noticed that there is marshmallow on the guys on the premium - driving home one of the best "villains" ever in the SPMM! Very slick

Its a shame his playfield avatar is hidden under a plastic ball guide...
Man, I think I may have to get a Premium. I can't see regretting having this in my gameroom, even if the gameplay doesnt reach the expectations set by these photos.
Quoted from BradKreisler:And there were people who were doubting that GB wouldn't have an LCD.
Ha. Amazing
Anyone care to post a price they got from a distributor? I'm not asking publicly for the distributor associated with the price, but just the price. I'm sure every distributor is getting hammered with emails and phone calls right now from tire kickers like myself, so I thought I would save them some time.
Color-changing Stay Puft Marshmallow Man toy
Rotating motorized animated interactive Slimer toy
6 Balls per game
WOW
Man I am not gonna argue with that! Can someone do a side by side? I am capable but lazy and busy with work 
LOL

Not gonna post a price but it is a bit of an increase over past titles.
Ha, I'm in on a Le... I'm on the fence if I should down grade to the premium... Good where I am for now
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:They spelled "Reinforcement" wrong.

From Stern on Facebook about this issue...
"Nathan It appears as though "Reinforcement" is spelled incorrectly on one of the inserts."
"Stern Pinball The photos were done with prototype playfields. This is why we always put "Game Subject to Change" on the official flyers."
Quoted from BeaglePuss:I think you got that backwards my man.
Your right I did have it wrong... Ok deff like the le over premium cabinet.. I think pro cabinet is nicer then premium lol
Very Impressed! Killer looking deck! How good will this pin look setting next to Metallica!? Best artwork I've seen since tallica!
Holy cripes! Zombieyeti killed the artwork and the design is pretty damn interesting too! I'm loving what I see. Can't wait to see gameplay in action and the ruleset. Those will clinch a winner here. Hire that man as your artist permanently Stern!!
Still no color DMD/LCD Stern? Shame. Damn shame.
Quoted from Deaconblooze:There's traffic in Utah?
traffic isn't as bad here in Utah when you get to look at this...
Quoted from Concretehardt:I like the Pro cab art better than the premium! At this point the LE is my Favorite

Pro cab art is best, premium translight is best. Premium is the way to go overall.
What do you guys like about the premium vs the pro cab? Very similar but you get stay puff vs a building on backbox ?

this is one of my favorite aspects, considering how his part was dumbed down and virtually written out of the movie after he got the part. finally a tiny scrap of redemption.

When I originally got the script, the character of Winston was amazing and I thought it would be career-changing. The character came in right at the very beginning of the movie and had an elaborate background: he was an Air Force major something, a demolitions guy. It was great [....] The night before filming begins, however, I get this new script and it was shocking. The character was gone. Instead of coming in at the very beginning of the movie, like page 8, the character came in on page 68 after the Ghostbusters were established. His elaborate background was all gone, replaced by me walking in and saying, “If there’s a steady paycheck in it, I’ll believe anything you say.” So that was pretty devastating.
also they used the original version of his character as a bargaining tool to lowball him on his pay, saying this great part would make his career and lead to bigger things.
Quoted from Mando:What do you guys like about the premium vs the pro cab? Very similar but you get stay puff vs a building on backbox ?
Prefer the lower cab on the pro at least for the sides. The Premium has the better head design. Also would like to know what distros are offering pro/premium for.
Better yet any idea of when this will get released?
Premium is best all around. Marsh mellow on the guys (translite), Stay-Puft and the full moon (cab art).
Just perfect.
Money well spent!
Putting a deposit on a premium when I get home from work today.
The ZY artwork is so full of detail, it's insane! Really love the boutique pin companies, but you just don't see art like this anywhere else IMO. Absolutely pumped!
Some interesting notes:
No action button.
Color changers under only the arrow inserts on all models. No sweeping light show on Premiums/LE.
Proton beams seemed to have not made the final cut. They were on the earlier CAD model.
Stern only mentioned the Ghostbusters song as being in the game, no other songs from the 2 soundtracks.
I see the Scoleri brothers.....wonder if anything else from Ghostbusters II will be found on the DMD animations/modes.
I see wine bottles on the Slimer cab. That's good. It means he's being presented in the same context as the original movie, and not the cartoon where he was a character "for the kids"
Stern is going to make MAD MONEY with this game. Notice how nobody cares about the DMD now?
Quoted from NPO:Deposit placed for Premium.
Not even a question for this one.
Me to man
Quoted from Mando:What do you guys like about the premium vs the pro cab? Very similar but you get stay puff vs a building on backbox ?
Check the detail on the front of the cab pro vs premium also more ghosts and detail on the side of cab pro vs premium.
The pro wins in pro vs Prem imho
Quoted from bigd1979:Prices are same as past titles like twd and kiss
ok..what was street price on a Kiss Premium?
Quoted from Mando:What do you guys like about the premium vs the pro cab? Very similar but you get stay puff vs a building on backbox ?
The front of the pro is much better IMO.
Quoted from Concretehardt:Check the detail on the front of the cab pro vs premium also more ghosts and detail on the side of cab pro vs premium.
The pro wins in pro vs Prem imho
Ahh yes I see it now, its close but the front cab and extra ghost is a nice touch.
Quoted from benheck:Stern is going to make MAD MONEY with this game. Notice how nobody cares about the DMD now?
Totally agree. I also think they took a page out of Spooky Pinball's book with NO TEXT on the side cab. Have they ever done that before?
