    Quoted from big-c66:

    That’s not true distributors were completely sold out for the last run. I called everyone and finally found 1 distributor that had a spot. 7 months later I got mine on the last run n bam Stern stop production n screwed a lot of people out of there’s n said they would finish in 20022 and didn’t do it sorry as crap as far I’m concerned.

    It's easy to sell out a run of a few hundred just there to use up remaining parts. That's why there were no more. It was a disappointing seller by the numbers and TERRIBLE on route for us and others. Fastest in to out of the route of any pin, ever. Which was a shame because I was super-high on the theme.

    No it wasn’t definitely a disappointment as far as sales go. Distributors had people wanting them left n right even after the last run that they didn’t finish to fulfill all the orders people had waited a year for n hung them out to dry but it’s the same thing Stern is doing now nothing with change oh well be good PinMonk n love my mods I got off u for my Munster premium n tmnt.

    I'm still bummed about Munsters - with all of the episodes to work with, they could have coded 30+ modes with interactive video clips.

    Every dealer around here has a bunch of LZ just sitting around that they can't get rid of. Pretty much anything that comes in sells out right away or only lasts a couple days or weeks at best for some pro models. But they have had LZ sitting around for months that they just can't seem to move. One dealer right by my work has had the same unit sitting in the show room for over 6 months while every other pin has come and gone through

    Not true, Last run of LZ was in december of last year, and i got a lot of them. I was sold out by the end of february. I have not had another LZ in stock until last week.

    I think the key words are "around here." It's probably a regional thing. I know of dealers sitting on LZs for a long time, too, but in other areas of the country.

    As long as you take delivery of games not names Bond before new years you should be good at the current pricing.

    I think that answers the question as to if they'll run GZ prem again before end of year. They can sell them at 9700 all day so why not just wait until Jan to ship em. Maybe they'll focus on pros or games they would have a harder time selling at that price point

    I'm guessing EHOH will be above Bond pricing. EHOH was always more than a cornerstone premium. Time will tell. I don't know what my limit is, but its damn close to that. I hope it is less... you never know.

    Stern hasn't told anyone they're making more this year, so far right? I haven't seen GZ on any production updates on this thread.

    One guy is getting one..I assume it's from the previous run and that dealer had 1 guy back out.

    Quoted from djsolzs:

    it'll be made as long as people are paying 9700!

    Bond may not be on the line for a bit, possibly shaking up this thread's latest production schedule:

    Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

    Per the email I have from Colorado Game Exchange:
    Estimated Build dates for first batch productions
    Pro (First build likely for commercial locations only Early November - Second build April)
    Premium (December)
    Regular LE (Late November Early December)

    Yep. Those waiting on GZ likely just got the price bump - unless they ship more before January.
