Quoted from swampfire:I just read this in a Pinside ad:
“At this point, this game is not on Sterns build schedule to be made again”
How likely is it that Stern won’t run more STh Premiums for the foreseeable future? I’m planning to call my distributor later today to see what’s up. I wouldn’t mind waiting 6-12 months, and it seems unlikely that Stern wouldn’t put this back on the line, given how fast the premiums were snarfed up here in the southeast.
Decided to pull the trigger on a Premium and have talked to 4 distributors - they've all said the same thing. They get build lists from Stern for the next 4-6 months and ST Premiums are no longer listed. May just have to go with a Pro at this point.......
Quoted from Nevus:I’m a happy premium owner, but this games got it where it counts in the layout, music and other features. I could definitely be a happy pro owner.
IMO, the UV kit is way more desirable that any other upgrade or feature.
As for the projector, it’s fine, bit not a deal breaker.
That's good to know. With Premiums now out of production, I pulled the trigger on a Pro this morning and ordered a UV kit for the upcoming run of those.
Quoted from Rascal-911:I am seriously considering buying a Stranger Things Premium, has to be NIB because there are no used units for sale in Canada. One thing holding me back at this point may be the possible infinite amount of tinkering that needs to be done, even right out of the box from what I am reading. Is this always the case with this title that it needs a lot of tweaking and fine adjustment to make it work right?
Good luck finding a NIB Premium. Distributors are out and from what I've been told by several of them, it's out of production with no plans from Stern to make more. I picked up a NIB Pro and can't be happier.
Quoted from Rascal-911:Well it looks like I am out before I got in. I was getting excited and ready to plunk the coin down this week and discovered zero stock of Premiums at Player 1. It appears I can't give my money away. No stock in Canada and none to order. And Elvira is in never never land so no new pin for me. Denied.
A little disappointed but hey, those are first world problems for ya.
I think the word is out what a great game Stranger Things is and it's fast becoming a must have. That being said, you could wait for a premium to pop up on the second hand market - guessing that'll happen as soon as Mandalorian is officially announced. Distributors here in the US are saying no more Premiums will be made.
I didn't want to wait and ordered a NIB Pro. I couldn't be happier with it. My wife could care less about this hobby and has no interest in any of my other pins, yet she's booted me off several times to play a game or two. Fun times.....
Quoted from MrMikeman:Guess what.. The updated Stern production schedule (from last week) has STh back on it. No date associated yet though. So Stern has decided demand was high enough to do at least 1 other run, whenever that is.
It's another run of Pros.

Quoted from Mando:Is the general consensus they are done running premiums on these ?
Yes, in my search for a NIB premium I was told by 4 separate Distributors that Stern was done with premiums and the next run of Pros will be it. Never say never, but it doesn't sound overly promising. On that note, I'd guess the Stern accessories will be drying up as well......
ZMeny Stranger Things seems to be trending up!

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:And unavailable
Dang - others must've bought after I posted that link. They were in-stock - sorry!

Quoted from Saltimbanco:I searched, couldn't find fresh news. Will Stern be making more Sth Premium any time soon? Tks!
No fresh news - Stern is done with Premiums. Another run of Pro's and that's it
Quoted from nicoy3k:Where did you hear that? I know there isn’t a run date but has stern said it’s out of production? Not sure it makes much sense with Pros still being in stock and premiums being in demand. I could see another premium run in anticipation of season 4 later in the year or early next year.
Got the information from 4 different Distributors when I was looking for a Premium. They all said Stranger Things has been dropped from the production schedule. Never say never, I guess, but with the backlog and some in-demand games like EHOH not shipping until 2022, I wouldn't look for it anytime soon (if ever).
Quoted from BMSPEED:Just saw my dealer today and he confirmed one more run of pro’s only.
Other than the upcoming UV kits and another run of toppers, the Stern accessories are rumored to be done as well. Get 'em now I suppose....

Quoted from Jimmyhonda:Anybody know of any UV kits out there for sale? Thank you!
Contact a distributor and maybe they have a list going? I paid for one back at the end of March - hopefully shipping in September

Quoted from Waxx:Yeah, I’m curious where you got it as well.
Ordered from GEX back in March
Quoted from Waxx:$410 is steep
I agree - but thought I'd mention it since people are looking. Stranger Things is gaining in popularity and sounds like only one more run of Pros and likely no more Stern accessories.

Quoted from chubtoad13:Is it exactly the same except the apron?Does it have all the same plastics?
Yes, same kit other than the apron difference.

Quoted from RC_like_the_cola:Just checking this link days late, but WTF? That listing is a distributor selling those for $170 over MSRP. Ridiculous.
Yea, wasn't promoting the seller, just noting that the kits were starting to hit the streets. Reputable distributors have them in-stock and aren't trying to bend buyers over. Have seen a few Pinsiders trying to get $375-450 for the kits, which is gross. ZMeny even called one out on his last podcast.

Quoted from smokinhos:So installed the shooter rod.. kind of a pain in the A.. but got it done. Now I have 2 errors.. anyone seen this. Game plays fine except that the left pop fires for some reason randomly.
Update: all tech alerts are cleared, not sure how.. left pop keeps randomly firing.
Update again: simple lead switch adjustment. Simple fix. Who would have known an HO slot car shoe adjustment tool would work perfectly for pinball..
These are pretty handy to have in the 'ol pinball toolbox: https://www.pinballlife.com/ultimate-leaf-adjuster-tool.html

Quoted from paulbaptiste:There will not be another premium run according to Stern and distributors
The last run of Pros is it - ST is done..............
Quoted from Tarheel4985:I've read through a lot of the posts regarding the left orbit feed hitting the left sling, but wanted to see if there was ever a definitive fix that didn't involve bending or relocating the ball guide. My Pro was from the December run and it seems to have the same issue as others where the kick out from the mystery lock coming down the left orbit hits the left sling about 80% of the time. I've tried multiple different slopes, completely level left and right, left leaning, right leaning and no matter what, I can't get it to feed down to the left flipper consistently.
Did everyone just end up bending their left ball guides or drilling new holes for the screws securing the end of the ball guide to direct it more towards the middle of the playfield and away from the left sling?
I just bent the ball guide slightly and it fixed the issue - no need to drill additional holes.

Quoted from chuckwurt:I don’t know what FW means, sorry.
Try reinstalling the code. If that doesn’t help, try reflashing the SD card. Instructions are on sterns website.
FW = firmware I believe

Quoted from JToeps:Cleland works great with IC on 1.05 but I'd love to have the home team update. I updated SW and Godzilla this morning but am on the fence about losing STh.
The audio mod really is great.
He noted that he will update Stranger Things to 1.06 (now 1.07) when Pinball Browser can open the image.

2023 Premium run?
Quoted from VisitorQ:It's out of production on Stern's Website.
Yes, I realize that....interesting they are taking deposits for a 2023 run tho.

Quoted from Medic:People like to keep their game value high so if they have a premium/LE they are more likely to say they won’t run again…. For what is worth, a respectful pinsider posted on kanedas Facebook post that the next run will be 2024.
I have a Pro and still say they're not going to run any version again. Does that make my Pro worth more now?

Quoted from Ashram56:Did they announce pricing ?
I paid my STh Premium less than today's Pro price, so i'm not too concerned about losing value. Plus I like the game too much anyway to sell it
Pro - $6999
Premium - $9499
UV Kits - $279
Quoted from chuckwurt:279 was the OG price. $300 this go around.
Nope - $279
https://gameexchange.biz/stranger-things-uv-light-kit-le-premium
Quoted from chuckwurt:Some are getting charged more I guess. Invoice I saw recently was $300.
With shipping its close to $300 
I heard that someone may be making translites based on the LE backglass. If you know who this is, would you please PM me the details.
Thanks!
Quoted from chuckwurt:Someone mentioned this on the stranger things pinball group on FB. Search there.
Will do - thanks!
