Quoted from ZoraShinoda:Qualifies for free shipping. Interestingly, it says returnable until January of 2023
I wonder how that works? "I didn't like it, sending it back"
Interestingly enough. I know a guy who got a Star Wars Premium on there for $7500. Not sure if that was a mis price or what. But they honored it it. He got it in 2 weeks.
Quoted from mstang01:I guess it would depend who the merchant actually is on these. I think someone tracked them down to a distributor a while ago but I don’t think it’s Stern or Amazon though it says Amazon…
I was in under the impression it was direct from Stern. I'm also really new to HUO pinball, patiently waiting on my DP pro.

Quoted from king_pin:Any idea if Deadpool is getting another run?
I currently have one on order so I believe/hope the answer is yes. "sometime in 23"
Quoted from PinStalker:So a $26 million lease..... they can't construct a purpose built building for that much dough?
You'd think they'd want an asset if they're spending that much cash.
It looks like Elk Grove Village is incentivizing them to stay in the area.

Quoted from brickbuilder14:So are Bond LEs on the line this week? Or next week?
Looks like JDJP this week
Quoted from Yoko2una:You need to look at the seller info. I recently bought a SW Prem off Amazon and it was from Stern directly. They also had some Rush Pro/Prem on there at MSRP.
A few days ago a distro added a TON of Sterns up there. NIB's were crazy high over MSRP, and their used games were even worse. But it all looks like one seller. You need to see the seller info... but once you know this, you can also see real quick which games are from that douchy distro just by the prices alone.
Yeah I've been watching the Amazon store. Wish I woulda snagged the DP pro back in summer. Now I'm just waiting for that next run.
Those reseller prices are comical. I guess they sell them though with that Amazon financing !
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:Is MET Slated For a Vault Edition Yet This Year?
Zach Meny reported on his TPN podcast that Stern is planning a VE of a SAM title, and it is NOT going to be TRON.
So, what SAM will it be?
They last ran MET in 2018.
They last ran AC/DC in 2019.
They last ran ST in 2019.
They Vaulted Spider-Man in 2017.
What other SAM could they possibly Vault? TWD?
Here’s a site with a full SAM list:

Transformers is SAM?

Quoted from njvc:Apologies if has been asked already, but any word on Deadpool production? Someone just speculated Dec 2023 on the Stern Enthusiast Facebook page. Can anyone confirm that rumor?
Ugh I hope not
Per Knapp Arcade / per the Pinball Show ep 119
James Bond Premium pinball machine in mid- to late-January.

Feb - Godzilla Premium / Elveria Premium
March Next cornerstone
April more Bond Pro/Prem
May Iron Maiden Pro/Prem

Quoted from ultimategameroom:I would love to add a cool topper to my Godzilla but it better not retail for $2000. $1000 for my Elvira was stupid expensive. $2000 is insane.
It's gonna be $2000 at least, count on it. Stern isn't gonna miss an opportunity to lock content (DLC) behind a paywall for their most popular game.
2 weeks later
Quoted from tgarrett09:Seems like Stern is going in the direction of adding gameplay modes to integrate with the toppers. Can’t say I’m thrilled with that with the price of the toppers and the game itself.
Locked DLC behind $2k hardware. Sounds like something a Disney executive would approve.
Quoted from Tilt:deadpool is not this summer
Thanks that confirmation. Gives me a little more time to save the rest of the cash
Quoted from Tilt:Stern sent out an email today bumping the deadpool run to july and adding another gz premium run
Oooof my wallet.

Quoted from big-c66:I thought Deadpool was going to be December for another run.
It's been moved up to July
Quoted from beltking:Foo le is like two weeks late from what I was told. Wish Stern just did a quick note or had a page on their site what’s on the line. Not sure how that would hurt. Post the question on Facebook and nothing. Say something positive about game instant reply. Don’t get it with these companies.
I had a distributor telling me recently about a "shared sheet" maybe like Google sheet that's an estimate of prod totals. I've worked at much smaller companies with more powerful ERP tools for distribution. Interesting for sure.
Quoted from Redliner911:I was surprised to learn that Flip N Out's July DP Pro allocation is already spoken for. Meanwhile many other distributors haven't even started a list yet
Wow ! I better see if I'm on that list I assumed Im getting one.

Quoted from JackG:Update on Stern's current schedule. Apparently Stern halted LEs for a minute and made some Premiums. So there should be some Premiums shipping out soon as well as the early LEs before they get back on the line. Everything is about 2 weeks behind.

They must be selling the shit outta Bond.
Pushed my DP back a month..oh well. Hopefully GZ holds and I'll have more time with it before dp arrives.
Quoted from hiker2099:I am so tempted to buy bond... But I hate the cabinet art. However, I do feel it will be great in about a year. I think it is just a licensure headache that will take time to flesh out.
I played it for the first time at TPF and honestly really enjoyed the Shots. Not my favorite IP and yeah that artwork could be so much better. Might be a sleeper come back kid if they keep improving the code.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:Thanks for posting! I'm in for a Godzilla Premium for the upcoming June run. My wife and I have a baby on the way (end of August) so time to get one last pin into the game room before she gets here lol.
Congrats on the little one. I'm in the same boat. Our first baby is due in November. DP pro and Gz pro both ordered and cash in the safe. I'm hoping to use those to trade around as 2 is my limit.

Quoted from AMartin56:A dealer just told me Deadpool got pushed again...likely October/November per his note.
NOOOO!!!!! I knew that original push to July as to good to be true.
Quoted from AMartin56:Finding awful enough coil stops maybe?
Sometimes I wish Pinside had emoji reactions because a simple upvote isn't good enough to show my genuine reaction to a comment like yours 
Someone smarter than me can adjust this. Maybe they are going to push that mando run out?

I can smell the NIB Godzilla pro. Come one June
Watching this thread over the last 10 months has been a roller coaster. The NIB experience has really helped me temper my patience and learn to adjust my expectations with instant gratification. I sold my Mando and VPIN sooner than I had anticipated and now have two empty spots in my game room. Waiting for GZ/DP.
pasted_image (resized).pngQuoted from lu505:I am feeling the exact same way. I just crossing my fingers they don’t delay it like poor Deadpool.
Don't you say that!! It's hapenning!
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Sure hope Stern get's Godzilla Premium's on the line soon. My wife and I can't have a baby arriving (end of August) and a NIB pin delivered on the same day lol.
We are in the same boat with DP and new baby in Nov! I've asked her to postpone it but that's not looking likely 
Quoted from lu505:Anyone notice the coin doors on IM and GZ only have only one coin slot on todays Factory Friday, is that for European 220v versions of games? I also seen Foo Fighters on the vid.
Your right ! I missed that. Indeed a couple of FF at 4 seconds in. Looks like the PFs are missing
Quoted from SiN13:Not yet. I saw my dealer post last night that he had it in stock but maybe is wasn’t a NIB. I need to call and check.
Quoted from DParty:I did yesterday. Hoping it get delivered this Thursday!!
I'm getting antsy!
Quoted from ZMeny:You still can We have over 20 different pinball titles right now NEW IN BOX - Ready To Ship AND plenty of preowned games.
(Slaps glass) What’s it gonna take to get you in to one of these preowned Certified Sterns?

I ordered my GZ pro from the wrong place
Quoted from lu505:Man Stern showing that Luci on there page today, can they do vault launch of this again!!!
They love to F with us!
Quoted from Dynamo12:Cross your flippers friends. It's factory friday!
What's everyone waiting for? Gz prem/FF? My GZ pro invoiced and dp is still far enough out I'm just here for the ride.
Quoted from superNoid:Waiting on Deadpool Pro...
Me and you both friend!
Quoted from Dynamo12:Outside of the odd week that is off. It always seems pretty ballpark.
Even when it's off. It always seems to only be by a week or so.
Agreed - GZ pro estimated in June / invoiced in June.
I also enjoy all the speculation and rumor mongering.

Quoted from desertT1:Looks like I’m not getting a call for my Dec 2021 GZ premium order. Oh well, I got one a few months ago and will probably go to less busy distros from now on.
Did you for sure get the word it's not happening ? I didn't get the call for my pro over a week after the factory Friday video. Hoping it works out for you!

Quoted from Sammer:Thanks for all the advice everyone. Today I brought home a Godzilla premium born june 23! Although not from the original distributor. I ended up getting lucky and securing the last one Midwest Gaming out of Wood dale Illinois had. I will never put a deposit down for a game again. [quoted image]
Nice ! Neil is good people !
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Godzilla Premium from the latest run is being delivered this week! Just under 6 weeks to go before my wife is due with our first child. Is the nursery ready? No, but at least Godzilla will be here lol.
3 ish months for me. DP and GZ are both in place! Mine is cracking the whip on the nursery and I still have a pile of mods for both games.

Quoted from Georgiapinball:Yeah that's not the case. They can sell the extra pro's after a couple weeks after all the locations are taken care of. If you got one with a build date from March 23rd that more than likely your dealer holding onto it. Sounds like your dealer is fibbing to you.
To what end? Try and force the customer into changing their mind on a premium?

Quoted from hassellcastle:Why would I post this if it wasn't true? Ahhh, I think I would be getting a call from Stern if we were to post something that wasn't true. We received the e-mail this morning that it is last call for Pro and Premium models of Avengers and Iron Maiden. Not every game can stay on the production line for ever. Get one while you still can. Out with the old ...in with the new!
Didn't want to bust you out on here but thanks for chiming in!
