    It wouldn't surprise me to see some kind of Comic Book vault, but I doubt they would add spinners onto the game. That would require changes to the wiring harness and possibly some playfield modifications to make it work. I could see them possibly adding Walker bombs since that would allow them to use the same base cabinet as the Premium model and would allow them to use the same playfield as before.-it would just require slight modifications to code to make it work.

    My guess as to what will actually happen is that they'll use the same playfield and playfield art as before but just slap on some different cabinet decals and a new translite in the comic book style on and call it a day. I'm sure it would be expensive enough to hire the Walking Dead artist just for that. Doing the playfield, plastics, and possibly new sculpts for the toys to match the comic style would add way more expense to the game. I could also see them doing some kind of special armor that includes a new lockdown bar "Walker bombs" which would allow them to charge a more "Premium" price for this model much like they did with SM VE. It isn't really like Stern to give you more stuff for the same $. If they really wanted to bring out the sales they could number the games and limit them to 250 which would further justify charging a premium price for the game.

    Didn't they do a special "Dirty Donny" run of custom games for Metallica a few years' back where they upcharged a couple grand for a custom painted Sparky and some other minor features? If you're expecting a souped up Pro model with extra features for the traditional Pro price I think you are going to be disappointed.

    Quoted from woody76:

    I would not count on it

    Give it 2 years and it will be out. I don't even know if regular TWD is out of production yet.
