Holy shit!!!!! I think Stern just blew my graphical standards out of the water. As much as I hated GOT for it's artwork I don't think I have one thing bad to say about this. And most importantly all 3 versions from a quick overview look packed. Did I say the artwork was awesome....because it's freakin' awesome.

PRO -PREM - LE in order

Playfield slide support AND BRACKETS on Prem and LE....well would you look at that. Overall this thing will be a cash cow for Stern. Other manufacturers you have now been served. WOW. JJP is going to be shitting yellow bricks and orc poop for the next few weeks.

I wouldn't be surprised if they were are all gone by now.

Having magnet slings instead of conventional slingshots might prove to be a very good decision. Less moving parts and you can ramdomize the strength of the push / pull of the magnets as well as making the ball go in unexpected patterns. Ball hits switch and depending on where you are in the progression or in which mode you are might make the slingshot behave very differently. I might have to put this game under my xmas tree this year (hoping CDN dollar comes back close to par...aka wishful thinking).

Or they are going to make them as add on in their shop.

The only thing that comes to mind is the Twilight Zone mini playfield. I'm intrigued as well

All I know is mine will be in order Monday and I've got shit load of ideas never done before to make it cool. Mind you this thing is already cool enough

Pinball life will have them in a few days. Talked to the guy at Pinball Universe.

"I guess car manufacturer should put the ignition right beside the engine since it doesn't make much sense the run wires right beside steering wheel for easy access." LOL

I didn't know about this and all I have to say is WTF!!!! It's going to be a pain in the ass for me to turn on my machine because mine are so close together.

I guess power bar it is.

Doesn't change the fact that it was a stupid decision from Stern's part.

Too bad it's not good for us Canadians. The tournament button is included on all our games. So no replacing the tournament button.
I'd really like to know that reason apart from financial reasons.

Yeah the tournament button is an add on if you want it but in Canada it comes included. Go figure. If there only reason to put the power switch on the backbox is cost savings then shame on them! I want to see a pic of this because i feel the internet is pulling my leg.

I'd rather have 3 pro instead of 2 premiums.

That all nice and dandy but I will not fork $10K CDN for a premium

In distro terms that usually means 30 days but you could get lucky

I for one am really hyped up about getting my pro.

Can't wait to put that mod on mine. I've ordered a shitload of things for it but the GB Pro still hasn't showed itself to my doorsteps.

I'm going to ask the same question to my distributor once he calls me to say I'm the next one in queue to get one, which should be in the next week or so. I want some form of guarantee that implies a playfield replacement if the inserts start ghosting / lifting. If the answer is "no" then I won't buy one. I'm not talking about a lifetime warranty but something that is fair. Just unsure of what that is yet. 1000 plays? 2000 plays? 2 years? 1 year? 6months? What is fair?

Raised inserts will shred the clear in no time. You can see what your distributor will say but I case they don't want to do anything I would try a C clamp and a block of wood to lower it back into place and epoxy the back side of the insert. I just don't know if that would end up cracking the clear. A more seasoned vet could chime in

I finally played my first few games of GB today. I was left with a 'meh' feeling because slimer was registering maybe 2 of 10 shots and the volume was down to "barely audible" levels... so it really killed it for me. The other thing was the air balls, holy crap there were so many. After watching so many videos I know it will be a pin that I will enjoy but first impressions were a killer.
