I think so as well. LZ was on the last factory Friday and I don’t think they have a ton of orders for them or they wouldn’t be retiring it so early. Is LZ the shortest run they have ever done?

Quoted from Fsdre:So what do you think shows up for factory Friday tomorrow???
My money is on SW
Quoted from Fsdre:So what do you think shows up for factory Friday tomorrow???
Depending on the camera view, i would say star wars and zeppelin.
For those keeping track, I picked up star wars premiums today at the factory and on my way home was sent notice that my LZ pro will be ready in a couple days. So who wants a Zeppelin? my SW premiums are all sold out but i do have pros available

I think Munsters was less. A fart in the wind and sales died completely once it was clear no more code was coming to fix it.
Quoted from solid_snake:Probably Star Wars still. I think LZ next and then GotG.
Lz was last week. Doubt they needed to run that more than a couple of days. Likewise they ran SW for a couple of weeks before that and that's plenty.
Quoted from Sorokyl:Lz was last week. Doubt they needed to run that more than a couple of days. Likewise they ran SW for a couple of weeks before that and that's plenty.
I think last week was just LZ Pro's. Premium's should have higher demand for that title and should also be on the line longer.

Yup - I think LZ prem next and then the new cornerstone.

My gamble is new game is already in production. And we see news drops starting next week…. And boxing/shipping the week following.
Stern can stagger multiple games on the line. So don’t take their friday videos as necessarily ‘inclusive’ of all going on 
Just my crystal ball
My shipment/allotment of SW Premiums shipped out yesterday. All of which have been presold for sometime now. Estimating them to arrive on our dock on Tuesday since Monday is a holiday. All customers have been notified to schedule delivery, pick up or getting freight quotes for final invoice for those buyers out of state.
Several other titles were anxiously awaiting for customers this month SW Pro, LZ Pro & Premium & GOTG Pro….lots of games arriving in this month and making customers happy
Talked to my distro, they have just over half their allotment enroute. Figures I am not in that shipment. I really hope Stern sends the remaing allotment to my distro next week.
Paid my SW Premium invoice last night.
I really hope my distro gets the rest of their allotment. I really dont want to go with another one if i could even find one with stock on hand.

Thank you for the link. I wanna give my distro till maybe Wed. I hope theybdont get screwed out of their allotment., but with my luck who knows. If so hopefully I can still find one instock
Quoted from NoDisclaimer:Any word on when Godzilla toppers are going to be put on the line. I'm sure that will be a total cash cow.
My guess with how delayed everything is you are looking at the holiday season
I don’t mind if Stern has delays as long as they are not the games I have on order. AKA EHOH and GZ.
I really hope they still make EHOH this November.
Quoted from smoothbore19:I really hope the SW Premiums in the background
of the Friday factory vid got completed and are shipping to distros.
Hoping you get yours soon brother! I waited 8 months for mine.
Quoted from smoothbore19:With all the delays and for how long SW has been in production I had to go for a NIB before their archived.
That was my reasoning for going with SW and DP this year.
Man I am getting nervous. I'm gonna call my distro. I really hope they are going to get the rest of their allotment. I don't want to have to try and find one at another distro. I really like Game Exchange.
If it makes you feel better that’s who I went with and got my invoice Friday evening. If Stern is still building them I’m sure you’ll be fine.
Quoted from YZRider926:If it makes you feel better that’s who I went with and got my invoice Friday evening. If Stern is still building them I’m sure you’ll be fine.
I talked to them Thursday. They had just over half their allotment on the way. My spot is towards the end of the allotment so fingers crossed.
What’s the likelihood of another Godzilla Premium run this year?
Any news on if EHOH is still being run this November?

With all the last call games and James Bond just announced I’m not expecting GZ to get made again til December if not til 23.

I was told Dec for EHOH by the dealer I use.
Quoted from qbass187:I was told Dec for EHOH by the dealer I use.
i just hope they stop increasing the price before it comes out. I am already going to have to pay about $2000 more then when I originally told about 1 1/2 years ago.

I was told Q1 2023
Assuming that we have the final runs of LZ and SW in the bag, then TMNT and Guardians should be finished out soon if not already, then we have some JAMES BOND 007 to look forward to finishing off the year strong. Distributors should be getting an end of the year summary of what's going to be on the line soon. So this is mostly predictions based on the latest reports we've had.
So the home pins for SW and JP should be on the second smaller line like usual and not effect the main line.
I'm guessing Bond Pros will be on the line for the last 2 weeks of September. Bond LE for the first 2 weeks of October, then Bond Premium to finish off October. Hoping Elvira hits the line right after so those of us who've been waiting for over a year and a half can have it for Thanksgiving.
This also seems that there won't be a surprise Kapow release in December (which some of us speculated as Bond). So maybe with these slots open, we might get another run of Godzilla Premium before the year is over? Fingers crossed.
Sep 2022 - TMNT Pro & Premium (final run)
Sep 2022 - Guardians of the Galaxy Pro (final run)
Sep 2022 - Bond Pro
Oct 2022 - Bond LE & Premium
Oct 2022 - Star Wars Home Edition (original & comic art)
Nov 2022 - Jurassic Park Home Edition
Nov 2022 - Elvira Premium

Do we know for sure there ARE pros for Bond? If it's a kapow release prem is the starting level.
Quoted from Fsdre:You guys think gotg will be on the line this week or will it be all bonds
My distro told me end of September for gotg this evening
Quoted from PinMonk:Do we know for sure there ARE pros for Bond? If it's a kapow release prem is the starting level.
No one really knows at the moment. Only Stern.
Will be interesting to see what is coming.

FlipNOut is taking a list for Pros and Premiums so the expectation would be that this is a typical cornerstone release
I'm not sure they're done with led Zeppelin yet, The last two factory Friday show led Zeppelin but both times it was pros, nothing shown yet for premiums so they still may be working on those.

Good info, Thanks!
No info from Stern apart from Insider saying a few LEs will be available online on the day of release.
