Production #181...just before Half_LIfe
#24/250 If it bleeds, we can kill it
Its going to be quite a year...Walking Dead, MMr, Predator (I think that will be the order ??)
Quoted from MMuller:No email for me either, a year ago I was production number 27.
Just got it production #16 
Essex, ON
Lot of fun titles this year. But technically, 2013 I ordered predator. 2014 I ordered MMR. I was thinking walking dead might be 2015. At least that's what I tell my wife.

That's funny. You might have some explaining to do. One thing we know with Stern, once the game is announced, they get them out the door quick.
Production #175 in late 2012, now production #115. Looking forward to my game!

Yeah, you're in trouble. TWD comes out, and LE's should be in our collections within 6-8 weeks, after they are announced.

Quoted from jlm33:Got THE email from Skit-B support... actually twice as there were a few errors in the first version.
Still no "THE" email for me. 
I would assume I'm somewhere near #250, but not sure.
Anyone thinking of jumping ship for The Walking Dead? Just curious given the adult theme of the two. I'm staying with Predator myself, though it hasn't been to terribly exciting around here lately. Hopefully some info will materialize soon.
Nope. I don't watch the Walking Dead and just never could get into it. That said, the machine looks like it will probably be fun, the little art details on the playfield are nice, and I want to play one someday. But give up a $4750 1 of 250 machine for a more expensive game that will be produced as long as they can sell it and/or pay way more for the limited version of 600? No thank you.
Never seen the show either, but it's supposed to be pretty good. I'm still working my way through season 2 of Breaking Bad, so I may never get around to the Walking Dead. I did however watch my Predator 3D blu-ray the other night and it was pretty freaking cool. I'm surprised they gave this movie the 3D treatment, but I'm not complaining.

crazy times, I am in for both !

You are in for a great ride, my friend! 
I love the Walking Dead! and I hope to own one some day, there will be thousands of TWD's but only 250 Preds, even if there were going to be thousands of Preds there's no way in hell i would jump ship on this bad boy. Predator is and always will be one of my favorite action movies of all time. I would feel the same about an Aliens pin. If Skit B ever decides to do that (HINT HINT) ....I think im going to ship Kevin a copy so he can watch it and be inspired by all its Bill Paxton greatness. Game over man!
Quoted from rolandthoms:crazy times, I am in for both !
Roland, do you have any young children? I've got a 2 and 1/2 year old, and planning another one soon. Between BSD, Predator, SS, etc I'm just thinking TWD would push it too far (I've got space and money issues as well).
Ted, season 1 was good, I'm hoping it keeps getting better as it goes. I've heard good things, but really know very little about the show (thankfully).

Yes, that's the thing..it keeps getting better and better.

I actually like Aliens a little more than Predator, so that could be a good thing or a bad thing for me. Careful what you wish for with Paxton, we might end up with a Predator 2 pin, not that there's anything wrong with that. 
Quoted from spfxted:Yes, that's the thing..it keeps getting better and better.
Well I wouldn't hype up Season 2 of TWD too much, but if he can slog through that Seasons 3 and 4 are solid.

I believe Ted is referring to Breaking Bad, though I've heard good things about TWD as well.
My kids are all teenagers now (13, 14, 17) so I may not be the best person to ask but its not like we are talking about a Grand Theft Auto video game here....its a pinball machine. Granted, there are zombie images on TWD...
Are you buying the game for you or for them? If its you, then you only live once.

Yep, what she said! Not giving up my spot on this one.
Quoted from jkdblaze:I believe Ted is referring to Breaking Bad
Yes.
Quoted from jkdblaze:Anyone thinking of jumping ship for The Walking Dead?
As I am a big fan of TWD comics and TV series, I must confess the idea crossed my mind. Briefly. I do give a damn about Sterns LE - so the choice would be between Predator and TWD Pro. The $ difference is not as large at it seems (you can get TWD for less than $5k).
But I have waited for Predator for 2 years, I won't give up now!! For better or worse, I will take the full journey. Guess I now want to play Predator for some time. Will see if it is a keeper or not! Also: I will find TWD on location nearby. So not problem to play it. On the other hand, Predator... forget it: if I do not buy it, I won't see it (It seems I am the only French customer!)
Quoted from jkdblaze:I believe Ted is referring to Breaking Bad, though I've heard good things about TWD as well.
Ah, in that case I agree with Ted completely! I envy you getting to watch Breaking Bad for the first time, I binge-watched the entire show over a month and a half this summer. Excellent stuff!
TWD is mostly good fun (except for the previously mentioned Season 2), but not really in the same league with Breaking Bad in terms of writing and acting.

Crazy that you will have the only machine in the country, but I guess it's possible with only 250 being produced. Is Predator popular over there? Has it been stated how many are scheduled to be shipped overseas? I know we have at least two machines, and maybe more, coming to the Houston area.

I could be wrong, but I doubt if there would be more than a dozen coming to us down under.
One reason being is the whole rewiring thing that has to be completed at user expense to stop the left flipper firing when the right button is pressed etc and the re pressurisation of the cabinet to stop the balls just rolling around on the underside of the glass.
With us being on the opposite side of the world and all...

Definitely a top 10 Simpsons episode for me.
Quoted from Whysnow:Got excite when I saw 20 new posts, then very bummed to see TWD shit is infiltrating yet another thread.
I know man, but it seemed slightly better than watching the paint dry. Hopefully Kevin will post something meaningful soon.

I can't be sure but when we talked about grouped shipping to continental Europe, there were 9 games scheduled to Germany, and only one to France. Could be extra ones from the waiting list though, or people very, very discreet.
Predator is (was?) popular here, but never became a cult movie I guess.
I just came across this for anyone that might be interested....
And here is where I saw it being sold:

Pinside rule #61: The more replies there are to a thread, the less actually informative updates there will be to it.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:Anyone know if Kevin is bringing a game to EXPO? It would be cool to see/play a production model.
My guess is no and to be honest, I prefer it that way at this point.
I prefer them to be busy making games and not traveling to shows with a completely sold out title just so arm chair quarterbacks can say what they don't like about it.
There is zero beneifit and lots of potential downside by showing up to expo with a game.
