Quoted from Grinder901:That's a premium right? Man I dig that translite a lot. I need to get me one
It is a pro.
I doubt it it is a code hint
Quoted from Grinder901:Pro has the Hawkeye cross ramp?
Doh. Your right it's a premium.
The fact is they could have chosen any game to show Santa playing or hell, not posted it at all.
I will be optimistic and hopeful

Maybe it was the only fame Santa owned. 
Let's say I wanted to buy a Avengers Premium translite. Do I contact my distributor or Stern? Put a WTB ad on here?

I don't think a WTB add would work because they only sold a small handful of premiums. Avengers premium is more rare then a unicorn. I think contacting your distrinutor would be your best bet. I thought Stern didn't sell to the general public?
Quoted from Grinder901:What does that mean? You get confirmation of no code update?
Well, it's Christmas morning and there is no code update, so that's all the confirmation you need.
This is so poorly handled, with them barely acknowledging the code updates at all, the "stay tuned", the photos of Santa... what are we left to think?

It's horrible. Promise updates and do not deliver. I'm still hoping it's coming today. If not, it flat out sucks for us as customers.
For wwe, stern wrote "stay connected".
I really thought I have updated the code for Christmas.
And there is nothing.

Quoted from Lermods:there's always new year's eve... and after that Martin Luther King Holiday...

Stern = krampus
Quoted from musketd:Silence very weird because they said about xmas updates
Makes you wonder is jj holding the stern code employees hostage for Christmas ??? Wtf is going on lol sombody better call

I didn't read this as anything even remotely related to code. Santa is going to be late delivering presents because he's playing pinball. That's it. Nothing more.
This hobby is crazy sometimes.

This exactly. Everyone is so hung up on every little thing posted by stern and some how turn it around to mean whatever they want/need it to mean.
"A guy in a costume playing avengers has to mean a code update."
No it's a picture of a guy playing a pinball machine. Everyone does this to them selves by building up every little thing in their head.
I know what people are going to say to me, " well you don't have an avengers so you have no room to talk." No I don't have an avengers but I am wanting to buy one, but am making myself wait until the code is done so I am in the same boat as everyone else.
Stern created this situation of posting weird clues, and maybe sometimes they aren't a clue, but then we're told "stay tuned", but no idea for when.
....
Stern left believing code updates for Christmas (wwe,,,,, avenger)
They wrote: "stay connected, much more to come, it is coming soon,,,) (Father Christmas picture playing avenger)
and in the end: nothing
Disillusionment
Quoted from hank527:Stern needs to learn how to communicate with tact.
you have met their lead PR guy, correct...
tact is not really part of his character.

Solution would be to find a new guy. Better PR=more revenue.

Are operators unhappy with Sterns PR?

Are operators the largest source of revenue anymore?
There's no place by me where new games are on location.
It's getting old quick. If home owners do not matter, then none of these businesses that sell mods should exists. Fact is the home market is dominant.
