Awesome! All I could find was the Facebook announcement, this is much better. It looks awesome, and I'm glad they didn't strip down the pro so much this time! Very excited for this!
So it's looking like there are some difference in the Slings on the prem and LE. Or maybe just lights in front of them? Could they be magnetic?
Also, I asked in the other forum but it will probably get buried. Anyone else notice the fully rendered slimer and gozer? Do they usually animate the characters in 3d them Dot-ize them? That seems like a lot of effort but could maybe make for better animations. . . or evidence of a lost LCD . . .
my wife is getting pissed. Its the only thing I am looking at right now. Something about getting furniture first.
I was wondering if they'd do a green display for the LE like they did on Avengers, although that doesn't appear to be the case (doesn't matter, just a thought in my head). I green trim looks awesome!
Quoted from PinballManiac40:OP you need to post some pictures. Giddy up!
Yeah, having them all on these first few posts would be great. I would do it but I am too busy wading through the other thread.

Thats funny, I want new furniture but the wife said wait for the kids to get older 
Nice artwork on these, good job Stern.

I'm doing this from a phone so it'll take a while, but I'll try to get some pics in the OP.
Quoted from WaddleJrJr:Anyone know who the software designer will be? I'm incredibly excited seeing the playfield layout and artwork, it looks amazing! I really, really hope the software is gonna be a homerun as well.
Dwight Sullivan
I am just happy they have "We Came We Saw, We Kicked Its Ass" as the first wizard mode. Now if they can just have "back off man I am a scientist" as the tilt sound 
Both cabs look good, but man I am partial to the pro. Very tempting machine, but couldn't justify a preorder due to stern's code commitment.
As the rumours of this played out for months, I was "yeah, OK, whatever".
But seeing what they've done... wow! If this plays as good as it looks, Stern has winner.
Double points for basing it on the original and not the new movie.
Extra bonus points for the artwork!
Quoted from dantebean:Oh man! Does that ramp go under the playfield then back up!
It looks to feed into a ball popper. That could be pretty cool.
Quoted from ChadH:Any word on voice actors? Ackroyd? Hudson?
I believe the custom call outs are done by Hudson.

Looks similar to Insanity Falls from Whitewater. I don't see a upkicker.
This does look sweet. Slimmer bash toy looks fun, and I also dig the pro not looking terribly stripped down. What are the big differences between models? (Aside from the obvious trim).
Quoted from Concretehardt:I believe the custom call outs are done by Hudson.
Voices can be added as it was done for walking dead...it will be a while, though.
The Premiums are starting to really separate themselves from the PRO's.
Certainly more going on here in a big way.
Looks terrific--better than I expected, both Pro and Premium.
Quoted from Barron:Looks similar to Insanity Falls from Whitewater. I don't see a upkicker.
It's got to have something, otherwise the game goes down if a ball gets stuck in there. Even in the home, that would be annoying. Insanity Falls in Whitewater can dribble the ball back out onto the playfield if it doesn't make it through.
Quoted from Pinball-Pat:This does look sweet. Slimmer bash toy looks fun, and I also dig the pro not looking terribly stripped down. What are the big differences between models? (Aside from the obvious trim).
I counted 3 significant differences. Likely there are more.
A. The ramp system, with the short right ramp cross over.
B. The big left ramp shot tunnels under the right side of the playfield, or appears to.
C. Ecto goggles, whatever that is, missing from pro.

t's been covered. It feeds in the subway if there isn't enough momentum to make it up the second hump.

I second this question. Before I drop 8k on the LE, I would like to see the differences. Is that a price increase from the last stern offering?

The Pro right ramp is a "WWE" two way ramp. Right ramp shot goes around and comes down the left ramp. Not a fan of that at all.
Quoted from ejg10532626:C. Ecto goggles, whatever that is,.
It's a Pepper's ghost effect.
Sounds pretty cool ... you'll see video of a ghost to shoot at. Passing the optos will register the hit.
Quoted from Pinball-Pat:So Slimer is le
Ecto and staypuff is (pro or prem?)
What is 3rd art package?
Ecto & Stay Puft are Premium.
3rd art package is the Pro which has the Firehouse on the sides of the cabinet heads & the Terror Dog up front on the translite artwork.
