Quoted from Shoot_Again:just cancelled for monster premium though
Same, ordered Ghostbusters premium March 12th. Changed it to Metallica premium last week, made final payment yesterday and it ships Tuesday. Sorry Ghostbusters!(not really)
Quoted from Msch:i have two pros and one premium and none have shipped. Ordered the pros in march.
WTF!?
Ordered Premium on March 10th. Distributor asked for balance last week (paid in full now). Wasn't told a specific date other than "hopefully in a couple weeks after they finish the LEs". I'm hoping for end of July. Rather have the Premiums dialed in than rushed with issues.

Who did you get your premium from?
Quoted from TomGWI:WTF!?
Distributors obviously have their favorite customers they bump up. Not worried, I will be using a different avenue next time. Keep in mind I'm ordering every new pro for locations.

Honestly there are to many variables to know why u did not get one, 1 there was only one batch of initial pros, if you missed the waiting list u were doomed to wait, from what I understand each distro would have been given x of initial pro distribution and even they may not have known how many. Assuming they knew, it was possible your distro was given 5 initial wave and you were deposit 6. You would have been screwed it you were first deposit in and they passed you by to second loyal caller, but honestly how are you going to know?
Im not taking it personally, and hopefully mine will have some issues sorted. Just crabby about the whole thing. Probably won't do anything different haha. Hoping that next release I can be competitive with the bigger ops in town.
Grabbed up an LE order a couple weeks ago from a distributor who had an order canceled 
Thanks whoever you are..... Expecting it soon, by the end of July at the latest I hope

I've received confirmation from my distributor that only half the backorders will be filled in July, the other half in August and that everyone will readily be able to buy them in September. For those that wanted to play during the summer, it might look like you'll be playing in early fall.

Quoted from hawkmoon:I was told three days ago,GB/pre s will start to ship third week this month,by Gameroomguys!
I hope you didn't pay their prices
Quoted from Msch:I hope you didn't pay their prices
I don't get it..............
Curious..... what would be the expected price to pay for a Pro/PRE/LE?
Quoted from Partyclown:I don't get it..............
Curious..... what would be the expected price to pay for a Pro/PRE/LE?
Pro $3995
Pre $5995
LE $9995
Quoted from EricHadley:Pro $3995
Pre $5995
LE $9995
I don't know about the Pro and Prem, but GameRoomGuys quoted me a much different price than the $9995 you have listed. I will go back and look, but they were cheaper than a lot of folks, more expensive than some, but overall very reasonable. I have found them to be anywhere from $100 to $400 higher on NIB than the cheapest out there....but they do have great service and take care of the customer. At least that has been my experience.
Yea its actually too bad for Stern, I bet they could have moved many more units but by the time people can actually buy them the hype will settle down alot
Quoted from MAJRob:$6695 including tax (unless you live in PA) and delivery from a reputable distributor for a Premium? Did I overpay?
With tax included, you probably did just fine. My numbers would be without tax.
Quoted from TheLaw:Not so sure aboot that.
I don't know but if I find something else before my distro calls me.... GB is going to get shelved for a while.
Quoted from flashinstinct:I don't know but if I find something else before my distro calls me.... GB is going to get shelved for a while.
I don't know...I think you'll be buying on at some point with that avatar and all 
Quoted from o-din:Sorry guys, the ayes have it!
The "I am glad I did" was for waiting, not a vote of confidence for GB in its current state.
Quoted from MAJRob:$6695 including tax (unless you live in PA) and delivery from a reputable distributor for a Premium? Did I overpay?
That is the exact quote I was given by a distributor not in PA. Free shipping was included in the price. You didn't overpay. With Stern's new minimum pricing policy distributors may not be allowed to go lower.
Quoted from TheLaw:I don't know...I think you'll be buying on at some point with that avatar and all
Yes at some point but it might not be NIB. The only advantage now is that the game will have an update soon. So waiting, while being a pita is somewhat good at the same time.
Quoted from flashinstinct:Yes at some point but it might not be NIB
Don't really think Stern minds that much...before this latest meltdown people couldn't give them monies fast enough. You like to buy Sterns, you'll buy someone else used GB and they'll use that cash to get a new Stern.
I think GB is in for a nice long production run. As more pros get on location, it will spur sales of the pro and premium models. This is a theme that has shown its staying power over the years. These delays are killing us Pinsiders, but many of Stern's customers are less sensitive to these ripples in availability.
we have two premiums ordered ! one for rock fantasy one for a friend ! I am starting to think of cancelling though
Got on the list for a premium but decided to wait until next year.TWD premium should be here monday.
Quoted from EricHadley:Pro $3995
Pre $5995
LE $9995
If anyone has info on distributors with this type of pricing on a Pro id definitely like to find out who and where, ive been considering my first NIB and i was seeing prices closer to 5499 for a PRO model. maybe im out of the loop a bit, any input is much appreciated
Quoted from Pinnutz:Emailed my distributor today (Cointaker) and they are getting Pro's in. Was told 1 to to 2 weeks. We'll see....
My distro has been singing that song for the past 2 months LOL
Quoted from txstargazer3:$3995 is way too low and most of us paid much less than $9995 for the LE. This is bad information.
$3995 sounded a little to good to be true for the pro, all the prices ive browsed online were MSRP , id hope distributors would be a little less then that but by how far is the real question
Quoted from hanzie:$3995 sounded a little to good to be true for the pro, all the prices ive browsed online were MSRP , id hope distributors would be a little less then that but by how far is the real question
It's pretty common knowledge on here that if you call one of the common distros on here pros are 5k and prem is 6.7k
Quoted from Flato:It's pretty common knowledge on here that if you call one off the common distros on here pros are 5k and prem is 6.7k
Yep, don't pay over $5000 unless the distributor is throwing in extras or is offering some sort of additional service that makes it worth it to you.
