What will the initials/acronym be?
I’m buying at least one of these machines. (The one Stern is supposedly building, not the one from the original post.)

Super quiet here. I hear from friends that listen to podcasts that this is getting revealed any day at some festival? Should I believe what I hear?
I don’t know anything but it sure seems like we’d have found out by now! Looks like random Facebook announcement on this one?
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:I never believed in a million years Stern would make Iron Maiden. I thought the talk about it 5 years ago was whack. I still think it’s whack, but I’m glad you fellas are gonna get your game. That’s pretty cool. You were vocal and you never lost hope.
Stern makes some very odd choices (most recently Mustang, WWE, this) but I kinda appreciate that about them. You really never can tell what they might freaking come up with.
Now do Spinal Tap! Make it freaking happen!
It’s not nearly as whack as WWE and Mustang. Stern does music pins of successful global bands. Iron Maiden is basically successful for four decades. There is a probably a decent intersection of pinball fan demographic and Iron Maiden fan demographic. I don’t think it’s a homerun like Star Wars, Ghostbusters, etc, but it’s nowhere near the same whack category as WWE & Mustang.
WWE and Mustang were not only odd choices but were generally received as not fun to play, unique as they are.
Iron Maiden, if rumors are true, seems likely to benefit from being a fresh design with fresh rules from a dude who gets it because he has been completing pinball machines for years. Just trying to reiterate that it’s unlikely to fall into a WWE Mustang group in my op.
Shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to find out hopefully.

It’s official- Stern just posted on fb a video, technically, with zero footage, just the title, Legacy Of The Beast, coming soon.
(If someone else already said this a few mins ago, sorry I have a lot of ppl on ignore 
)
Quoted from tmick73:Tough to feel negative about that.
It’s pinball, it’s supposed to be fun.
Quoted from mnpinball:Will be 4
On all models? (Flippers)
Quoted from tp:Tic...tok....tic...tok 30 minutes til this or this :
I think price increase, if there is one, will dominate discussion?
Quoted from Kevin_LHeureux:Is that a LOTR style ramp and magnetic ball catch in the back center?
Yes, confirmed. IGN article is best spot
Quoted from TheLaw:Remember when everyone said Stern pissed on their grave with no TPF reveal?
And then squatted down to crap on what was left with the failed reveal that was never a reveal?
This is why. Because you/me don't actually care, and Stern knows it
Stern reveals on fb/ign and when they feel like it. Convention schedule/appearances may or may not be involved if convenient- simple as that.
If you digest all material available for this game and aren’t excited then you probably don’t like pinball.. or fun and joy in general.
Quoted from BoJo:12 hours and no new posts. Hype is dying down already.
Are you familiar with Pinside? There is a LOT less to type about when Stern essentially unanimously nails it.
You can only high-five so much.
