They are no longer making AC/DC, but your point is still valid.

With the recent "below the playfield" discussion, are we worried that Stern won't have this figured out, or are we just wondering how it works?

I pre-ordered my METLE, and yes, I got it for $6800 shipped, just as a few others have mentioned. I sold it last summer for $6500. It seemed the ones that had sold around the same time were selling for $6800 - $7500, so that's where I started. The ones that were priced higher were not selling. I had it at a show, and I got my asking price within the first hour.

Yes, that was the price I got for METLE in the spring of 2013, immediately after the promotion video by Stern. I highly doubt that would be the price for a GB LE now.

Call distributors and compare prices. I'm pretty sure the ones below will dropship to your door. That would be a lot easier than waiting for a distributor to call you. Also, Pinsiders might not PM you because distributors have the freedom to change their pricing from customer to customer, phone call to phone call, and then that puts both the Pinsider and the distributor in a bad situation.

I think you meant $6800 instead of $5800, but that's what I paid for it new, before they shipped. However, seeing Concretehardt's post reminded me that he and I PM'd each other when I was selling mine last May of '15. I went back and looked at our PM's and realized the price I sold the game for at PAGG was $7500, not $6500, and I edited it in my previous post. Sorry for the confusion.

Custom marshmallow side armor!

An EL wire mod with multiple colors wrapped around the arm of this bash toy, made to look like a proton stream would be cool.

Do ColorDMD's work on the SPIKE system? I haven't seen anyone mention using the Sigma single color on KISS or WWE yet.

I like the idea of a Premium with white powder coated lock-down, siderails, and hinges, but custom shaped siderails by the flipper buttons with marshmallow fingers! "Stay-Puft" lettering cut out on the hinge plates. White legs? Custom painted coin door? Hmmm.

...and for those that didn't see the explanation: these pictures were taken of a prototype playfield, and it will be fixed on production playfields.

On the Premium, a lightly toasted marshmallow for the custom shooter rod. Maybe even have it light up?

In all these posts, I've only seen one person mention this. Everyone's ok with this?

I would have rather seen the terror dogs there.

No controversy, and I know exactly who it is and what scene it's from, and I'm aware it's paired with the Gatekeeper image of S. Weaver on the other side, but I just thought it was an odd image to put there. I was simply wondering if everyone else was ok with it since it only got mentioned (as far as I can see) in one other post.

Like I said in a follow up post, I would have liked to have seen the terror dogs on each side of the apron, and then Gozer in the center would have tied all three images together.

ZY's version of the image below split among the three spots on the apron would have been cool (but what he did is still cool). I hope this doesn't sound like I'm complaining because I'm not. I love the total package, and this apron art is not a big deal. I just thought I'd bring it up.

I was guessing that's a shot to the pop bumpers, similar to the center shot on CFTBL. The ramp, center lane to pops, ghost standup, and the Newton "wall" all look similar to that same area on Creech (IMO), which is fine by me.

It does indeed look like it hits a standup target under Gozer and then bounces around the pops. I thought it might loop around to the pop lanes and drop into the pops, but that doesn't look like the case. Your whitewood pic shows a bank of green standups that are now different with the Newton ball and ghost standup.

There was the video below, which showed mostly the programmer Sullivan's back, but you got to hear the sounds and a few peeks at the display and playfield:

I would guess the Pro in April.

SPELLING ALERT! No one panic, it's only on the computer notes. Whew!

All the pics that were released last week and on the flyer is a prototype playfield. All those things you're hoping get changed might get changed for production games.

I could have sworn I saw two or three pics that showed artwork on the small plastic over the Slimer bash toy. It wasn't through IGN, but I can't find it now. I would hope that gets artwork, as well.

I wouldn't say "for sure," especially since Stern is still making MET. I would think ACDC and MET are one and two, whichever order. It would be interesting to know, for sure.

That's what has been happening to me the last few weeks. Slung back 3 or 4 pages with the post box not clearing. I have learned not to hit submit a second time. If I close the tab and re-open Pinside, I see my post, and I avoid the duplicate. I think people see the post box still and hit submit again.

They would feel a touch of joy 53.63% of the time, counting the times it lands on green, as well.

What the heck?! Blasphemy! The next thing you know, someone will poke holes in the plot for The Force Awakens!

I wish the guys who steam would use more of an angle like this, except a little closer and zeroed in on the playfield. I can't stand watching streams with the bird's eye view. Even if the boom was mounted a few inches above the player's head would give a better angle than bird's eye, and still not intrude on the player.

Ha ha. Fixed. \/ \/

Both pics below were shown in the same size window on youtube. If the one on the left were on center, over the head of the player and zoomed in, seems like a better angle. Maybe it's a glare thing?

Dirty Donnie is on a future project for Stern. I'd be happy if DD and ZY alternated work on every future title.

Only Pinside has a way of building something up as the next best thing since sliced bread, only to tear down as a problem a few pages later.

Mustang's Donut Time is similar, isn't it? Just one ball and no lock post, but probably more similar than Skylab or even Big Bang Bar.

Tough crowd!

I think so, too. The first pic looked like a decal. The last photo shows a lot more depth and detail, and in no way looks "cheap."

Why does anyone care which version someone else gets/wants?

There shouldn't be any complaints because no one posting has experienced them yet. Once the game is released, this is going to be such a "non-issue" that years down the road we'll be sitting around the campfire telling stories about "remember when everyone was worried about the magna-slings?"
