Quoted from CashMoney:I love how they say Wonka LE is 1 of 200 “just made” and the playfields are cured! Thank goodness!

This dude is a salesman...
I trust what he says about as far as I can throw him (and yes Ive had personal experience dealing with them unfortunately)
I would trust his "in stock" or datelines on new ones zero percent.
Quoted from smoothbore19:Any solid info if Mandalorian Premiums are still on the line, and shipping this week?
One in the marketplace
I have a deposit on one with Game exchange in Denver, I talked to them a couple days ago, and they said they except some in the next week, if not I'm gonna have to try one of the ones in the market place if they are still available by then. I just hope Stern isn't counting the ones going out now as their Feb production. Unless they produce enough to cover whats been ordered.

I think the only reason it is on the line is because of Rush parts not arriving on time. That would make this run the Feb run, but moved up sooner to keep the line going. That's my assumption, of course.
Quoted from tkur85:Thanks for the updated production schedule. I can only hope my JP prem is made during the Rush halt as it was set for dec21, but I saw cointaker adjusted jp prem to Q3 2022.
Wow, I hope that Q3 projection on JP Premium would only apply to new orders. I ordered one with Cointaker back in September, and I'm really hoping it arrives in April after having been pushed back from last December.

They built a few Mando premiums at the end of the December too, so here's hoping that small run plus this moved up run meets or exceeds what they planned on building in February and at least gets them through the launch orders.
I'd like to think that once they made the decision to start building Mando after the Rush parts delay that they would just finish out that run rather than stopping it if those parts show up this week.

Agree... changeovers to different SKU's takes some amount of time, so they'd be weighing the pros/cons between "Just finish up these Mando Premiums" and "Add another changeover to get RUSH out closer to release."
With a backlog like Stern has, limiting unnecessary changeovers sounds like the smarter business decision. I don't think they're going to miss out on RUSH orders if they don't get it out quite as quick as previous releases. They want to make more machines so they can send out more invoices, and changeover hours generate no invoices.
EDIT: I say this as objectively as possible, given that I'm a hopeful recipient of one of these Mando Premiums.
Quoted from drwicket:Anyone heard any updates on Deadpool if they are throwing any of them into production.
laugh.gifQuoted from drwicket:Anyone heard any updates on Deadpool if they are throwing any of them into production.
Last I heard was still July/August, have not seen or heard of any being run in lieu of Rush (like Mando Premium is).
Quoted from drwicket:My father in law just messaged me that Aminis in Kansas said they got their stock in.
[quoted image]
And they’re selling a premium for $11,999?? This can’t be real…
Quoted from drwicket:My father in law just messaged me that Aminis in Kansas said they got their stock in.
[quoted image]
It's cuz they pay extra to Stern to get them first 
Quoted from NoSkills:Is that an old stock DP though? it doesnt have IC
It’s probably old stock / and no, those prices aren’t a joke. They quoted me $20k on a GZLE.
Quoted from WeirPinball:[quoted image]
yeah, uh well.... I just got a note from my dealer that his December DP Prem allotment is ready to ship as early as next week. I just got my updated invoice.
Quoted from Damonator:It’s probably old stock / and no, those prices aren’t a joke. They quoted me $20k on a GZLE.
Only 17,999 now if you go with their floor demo machine.
Quoted from RobF:yeah, uh well.... I just got a note from my dealer that his December DP Prem allotment is ready to ship as early as next week. I just got my updated invoice.
So Deadpool follows Mando while the wait for Rush parts continues?
Quoted from drwicket:My father in law just messaged me that Aminis in Kansas said they got their stock in.
Not a newer build Deadpool as it doesnt have IC installed.
Just got a call from my Distro. Very limited run of DP Prem was done due to Rush hold up. I’m getting #5 of his 6… I’m not joking. Have no idea how many will be in the wild. Mine will likely ship on Monday.

Sounds like we have the same distro haha.
Quoted from drwicket:They are a joke of a company. All of their prices are insanely high. $18,999 for the LE Godzilla.
They are out of their minds. They offered me a discount of $2K for a GZ LE at the low price of $16K. I told them good luck and deleted the message.

Holy sh!t - hell froze over. I'm probably way down the list anyway but fingers crossed! - edit - didn't make the cut this time. bummer!
Quoted from CashMoney:And they’re selling a premium for $11,999?? This can’t be real…
I've talked to Amini's before. This likely includes the price of their "white glove service" which includes home delivery and set up, dialing the machine in, and 2 years of free in home maintenance (or 100 per maintenance call but I can't remember.) They advertise the price to include the white glove service but will offer machines without their service. I've also been told that for some games, (LEs and maybe rare premiums like Deadpool) they will not sell it without their "white glove service." If I were forced into buying it, I would have them out on a service call every time rubber broke.

When did you put your request in?
Quoted from Sleal16:When did you put your request in?
not that long ago
Quoted from WeirPinball:not that long ago
I might bug my dealer tomorrow. At putting the request late September I'm hoping I made this cut.
Quoted from drwicket:Got confirmation my Deadpool premium will be here tomorrow or Monday. Have had mine in order since June!
congrats!
Quoted from JackG:If they're starting Deadpool Premium, does anyone know if they're finished with all their Mando Premium orders?
They better not be. My Mando Premium was ordered first week of release and I still don’t have it.
For those that ordered DP premium earlier last year, were you originally told December 21’ before they moved it back?
Just curious thx
Quoted from Vino:For those that ordered DP premium earlier last year, were you originally told December 21’ before they moved it back?
Just curious thx
I ordered DP Pro the first week of October, and it was supposed to be out in December 2021 for the Pre-Godzilla pro price.
Quoted from unlockpinball:When do the Strange Things Premiums go back in production?
I heard they're already discontinued
Quoted from unlockpinball:When do the Strange Things Premiums go back in production?
Retired. Done.
Such a short run. Premiums are in lower production numbers than LE's Was hoping they would fix the many many issues on the Premium. The Pro leaves out too many features than the Premium. Have to pass on this title then.
Quoted from Damonator:Retired. Done.
Watch out for other licenses to expire - they seem to dribble out lately
Quoted from Vino:For those that ordered DP premium earlier last year, were you originally told December 21’ before they moved it back?

Yes for me.
Checking in in case it helps anyone else, I received a Mandalorian Premium today, born last Friday (Jan 21).
Quoted from JStoltz:Checking in in case it helps anyone else, I received a Mandalorian Premium today, born last Friday (Jan 21).
Nice! It is an awesome game... tough but I like it!
Quoted from Insanity199:Yes for me.
Same here. Was scheduled for December. My distro had 6 DP prems. I got #5. Should ship next week.
