Quoted from chuckwurt:I’m talking about LEs that distros get. They all get specific allotments.
I would hope they go out of their way to deliver on LEs but not everyone is ordering an LE .
If I had a pro or premium on order I wouldnt hold my breath.
Whether it’s delayed or not, everyone I’ve ever heard of that has ordered a Stern game, they’ve received it. Except delays until they are allowed to produce at full capacity again.

Im not saying they dont deliver eventually but at the moment you have people who ordered games months ago still waiting.
The last run of Elviras left lots people who had one "on order with their dealer" hanging.
Went from you'll have your game in Oct to now maybe March.

It’s almost like if you don’t order a game during its first run when it is the primary thing on the line you have to wait until space on the line opens up...
I just can’t imagine putting a ton of money down on something and not know anything about it other than it’s going to be a Led Zeppelin pin.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Order a game when it’s in stock. No waiting.
Well thats what I do... unfortunately that means Ill have to wait and see if they can produce enough LZ to go around.
I kinda doubt it based on the last year or so.
No way in hell I am pre-paying or any of that bullshit.

That’s just the game If you want an LE. You have plenty of time to order after reveal if you’re getting a pro or pre and still be on the first run.
Complaining about sterns ability to pump out games is absolutely laughable. You’re new here so I understand that you don’t understand but you’re out of your depth.

You’ll have YEARS to buy a LZ NIB.
Once you get passed the highly manufactured LE fear of missing out, it’s just another release.
LEs will be available, just not right now. Stern LEs are just to unpredictable for me to put down cash unseen. I’m usually looking 2-3 releases back and have been quite happy with availability of models to choose from.
Quoted from seeburg220:"Does anyone remember multiball?"
Where's that confounded Multiball?
Quoted from Tranquilize:I heard bksor retheme but stripped down a little.
This is what I heard

Really, 3 flippers, no upper PF, likely Steve’s opus as rumor is he is retiring. Game will be awesome.
Quoted from SLCpunk2113:That’s just the game If you want an LE. You have plenty of time to order after reveal if you’re getting a pro or pre and still be on the first run.
I know that’s for the LE, but I still could not buy anything without seeing it regardless especially for something that will cost thousands of dollars nearing $10k and end up for sale “Like new with only 20 plays.”
Quoted from hank527:Really, 3 flippers, no upper PF, likely Steve’s opus as rumor is he is retiring. Game will be awesome.
How many had to google opus? I did lol
Can’t believe nothing has leaked over the weekend, something always leaks out.
No Pics, no idea on artist, no rumors on game features.
Keeping it pretty tight lipped.

Yep. Need Franchi back. He was always nice and leaky.
Quoted from kermit24:Yep. Need Franchi back. He was always nice and leaky.
Stern should just drip drip drip all weekend long to keep pumping the hype, nothing major but some sort of small details.
Keep the teasing going since everyone is foaming at the mouth.
Quoted from pinster68:Trent emailed me at 10am today that he’s sold out. Cointaker Melissa emailed me earlier the same...
How can they take orders without the game being officially launched? I reached out to my distro last week and was told to wait until official release? This is the same distro who got me a GnR CE, so I have faith.

It was announced on Friday and dealers started taking deposits right after.

I heard it's a bit of a dud. I have little to no faith in Ritchie making a solid game. Which sucks, since I'm a big fan of the band.

A dud in what way?

If you're hearing feedback then give some more detail ... layout, art, etc.
Quoted from EMpins16:Lol. I love all these “ I heard “ posts .
This came from someone at Stern.
Quoted from UNCgump:TBD, I guess. I think the person's point was boring/unimaginative.
Quoted from EMpins16:Lol. I love all these “ I heard “ posts .
Gotta love the straw man horseshit.
Let me guess it came from a secret Stern Employee
Quoted from UNCgump:This came from someone at Stern.
Quoted from Psw757:Gotta love the straw man horseshit.
Unless the person works for Stern they don’t have a clue.
Was from a Stern employee
Quoted from Tranquilize:I heard bksor retheme but stripped down a little.
so its going to be a home edition? 
Why the F would I make this up? I don't want this game to suck. Ignore me if you think it's BS. We'll see on Tuesday.

The same reason Rick and Morty sold out without actual gameplay; all about the money.
Quoted from EMpins16:So far we’ve “heard “ that “it sucks”. “ it’s a dud”. “ it’s a repackaged black knight “. “ it’s Steve’s best game to date “. “It’s essentially Quicksilver”. “ it’s not happening “. any others I forgot ?
I think you covered it pretty well, all said with nothing to back it up.

Ya. It won't compare to gnr is a popular comment. I could care less about gnr!

I will probably buy one because music themes do well for us but to add to the common stern quotes:
"box of lights" "if only JJP would have made it" "why not another band" "its going to offer a comic book edition" "the playfield will just dimple when i look at it"
It would have to be reaalllllly bad at this point for me to not buy it . I’ve already made a spot for it. A buddy of mine got me pumped about the potential of this game when it was just a rumor. I’ve probably pissed him off as I’ve been texting him non stop about ideas that should be in the game. Which is surprising because he’s an even bigger fan than I am.
Ever since it was announced , there’s just been this weird voice in my head saying “ so you better lay your money downnnnnnnnnnnnnnn”
Quoted from Tomass:Do you guys think this outsells GnR just due to the fact that Stern will out-Produce JJP?
Not necessarily. Stern releases 4+ games per year. JJP typically does one. If JJP only makes GNR until expo 2021 they will have a lot out there.
