My favorite premium is the original ACDC premium (non-Luci). Great looking game, nice powder coat etc.

On your list my favorite is GB. (Haven't played it). I prefer original SM.

For GB we don't know how the code is going to turn out, but it certainly is good so far. I voted for GB as I think that machine has such great appeal from all aspects so far. Metallica would be my second choice as it is so much fun to play, and looks great too. Walking dead is a challenging game. That make is fun. SM is also a great player. Don't think you can go wrong with any choice here if the goal is to play it.

I played tons of Stern pins yesterday. By far Spiderman was the best even over GB. But, I did not play TWD yesterday but have played it before. I like that over SM by a hair. TWD is the winner hear.

Kind of light on Stern Premium choices?

I have TWD, Metallica, GB coming, and owned SM for a couple of years. I do think GB easily has the potential to be the best of them all.

I would rank them:

TWD
MET
SM

TWD has a very unique layout with lots to shoot for, incredible ruleset, great lightshow, and it very challenging.

AcDc premium and ST premium

Acdc and metallica for sure. GB is too early to tell, but looks great so far.

Acdc premium or luci which i perfer and twd premium are both awesome pins that offer a lot over the pro version of the same.

A tie between ACDC and METALLICA ive got the GB L.E on its way so it will be interesting how it compares because I like what ive seen so far..

Yes - Met has Red, White and Blue, TWD has Red and White (no blue)

Out of the games listed Met has the best light show, and TWD the second best. GB and SM do not have color changing GI's.

Met all the way!

AC/DC

I have a met pro with the total lightshow and its awesome which y i didn't mention met bc i love the pro with that ad on more than the premium .

I would say AC/DC premium original also. Love MET, high up there with AC/DC but MET pro is my choice while on AC/DC I could not go pro.

Just my opinion

Met Monster is really awesome. Doubt you'd be disappointed!

ACDC, Metallica, and Walking Dead.
Can't go wrong with any one of these.
They're all desert-island pins in my opinion.
Now if I could only find a deserted island with electricity and one of these pins...

ACDC is, and likely always will be, the best Premium over Pro Stern.
Why: The cannon works like crap shooting at stationary targs - you need drop targets so the ball dies when you hit the mark, not a ricochet side drain reward for hitting what you are supposed to(major flaw in the PRO). The pendulum ball beats a stationary targ. The cross ramp. The lower playfield is no biggie...but makes the overall game deeper. The décor. The game plays far better overall.

Tron would be a close/ strong 2nd.
Why: Obvious.

From the above--GB Premium could be incredible, but haven't played yet.

I like the mustang premium the best, out of the other machines listed I like the pro versions an haven't played ghostbusters premium yet but totally loved the pro. So mustang gets my vote because I love the hazard drops an think the machine is next level from the pro in this title, but saying that there's nothing wrong with the pro.
