So we are seeing 29 total inserts so far. And possibly the same ugly
mug on the lower playfield.

It looks like four magnets to lift the ball up to the ramp.

Don't know,but I can't wait to see it done sitting next to my GnR!!

[Lloyd Olson]

2 flippers, 6 inserts, 2 roll over switches, three stand up targets. Looks
like fun.

And facing the right direction, I always thought Black Hole was facing the
wrong way.

That's where the band members are and are animated and move in sync to
the music. Drummer drums and Angus struts the duck walk.

The horns cutout in the playfield are pretty cool. Curious on how the
inserts will complete the face.

And they are all clear for the color changing LEDs operated with the

[The CNY PIN GUY]

wonder it it uses your ball in play for cellar or if there is a ball

[gearheaddroppings]

That was my question from the beginning. Looks like its going to be a
sealed playfield like Congo. I have a HH and having the balls go
between the playfields is probably the coolest thing about it. As for
AC/DC, I will leave my final judgement until I see it and play it in
person.

That's rad...I thought WOZ was gonna do that, but the whitewoods shown
so far have colored inserts...they could still do color changes,
though...a yellow insert can still be yellow, orange, red, green.

So - J, I know the band is up in the upper right, but what do those
magnets do? Do they make the band move?

That could look really cool with the right lightshow programming. It
can go from an evil devil face (just the eyes lit, and red GI), to
Angus (lit white, no inserts lit), to totally dark (if there's a
smoked plexi on top).

I like the bar ramp, that trucks the ball to the other side of the

it's almost laid out exactly like SST.

[EricSchmitt]

Reminds me of T2 with cannon on right, targets in center area, ramps and
the bell rather than skull. Pops and inlanes etc all are in same spot
too. Standups are just moved down on the left. Should play nice and

A mini playfield with 'normal' flippers under the playfield is a first
in a long time anyway! Hope it either isn't too easy or has an option
to be timed, so you can set it hard enough for yourself.

I think whatever will be done with those magnets (lifting the ball?)
will be a first time in pinball anyway!

[Steven]

I wonder if you''l be able to chose wether to send the ball from the
left to the right ramp yourself (sometimes) so you can use it for
chosing your next shot?

[Expat]

Drop the price of the LE to 5k and dump the pro models,Stern is making
a mistake w/ the cheapo versions and gouging on the real machine
But gary is greedy as always,so that won't happen and now that he has
some VC $$$ on board there's no chance you'll see any reasonable
pricing again from Stern

The problem wasnt the price of the machines before it was Gary's cost
cutting and a string of sub-par uninspired pins that killed sales

If I had to guess (and that's what this is), I'd bet the swinging
newton ball could either knock the ball back straight to the flippers,
or divert it under the left ramp.

[cody chunn]

When I saw the Pro pic I thought: "Wow, another stripped down turd".

The "UE" (unlimited edition, heh) actually looks pretty cool. Sure, it's a
T2 rework, but T2 is a good game that suffered from weak code. I think a
revisited T2 layout with an ACDC theme, better rules and a bunch of other
stuff chucked in for good measure is right on time. I will say this game's
pics look more interesting than the last several I have seen.

I think playing both fields at the same time is going to be killer, although
I'll probably never see one in person.

It doesn't look to me that the bell is powered in any way. Just a
sensor to detect hits, and the magnet to get it swinging remotely.. So
I doubt there will be any throwing or diverting of the ball by the
bell.

The Premium is looking to be great, but still no where near worth
$7K.. Hell they could have Angus' real head coming out the coin door
giving blow jobs with every play, and it's still not a $7K game. $7K
for a Stern is just insanity.

I hope some arcade in NJ gets a LE (not the clown faced pro) so I can
try it.

[Pinballradio]

I have to agree here. If these ACDC LE games have parts flying off
after 20 games and drop targets that shoot the ball on top of toys as
well as other mechanical issues/unfinished code, I don't want to see
what RGP is going to look like in a few months!!! Stern has
officially priced me out as a customer...and the pro version is an
absolute laugh.
The LE here does look to be the best since Spidey Black though as far
as features! That's good news! But spidey black was 4600.00 NIB, not
7.8K.
Guess we'll see...

Haha. Funny how people play with prices to prove their point. $4600
would be the extreme low price ever paid for a BSM and $7800 is a crazy
high price for ACDC LE. Please compare apples to apple. And try
somewhere else if you think $7800 is the going rate.

I paid 4600 roughly for spidey black (with taxes and freight it was
like 4750 if I recall). 7.7K is right off Mr. Pinball today from
Trent selling the 2 LE's with backglasses.
I am not playing with numbers at all. So it is apples to apples if
you ask me...I did mistakenly put 7.8K below instead of 7.7K. My
mistake.
From Mr. Pinball...
AC/DC Limited Edition Back In Black, 2012 Stern: 7695.00
1 of 300 made. Price includes free shipping in the US. Authorized

AC/DC Limited Edition Let There be Rock, 2012 Stern: 7695.00

The point I am making is why the 2.5-3K jump for the same boards, same
cabinet, same everything? Maybe making a backglass since 07 has
increased 2.5K?
I hope it does well for them (and works/has finished code). Time will
tell.

Ok, so you did compare a great price that did not include shipping with
an advertised price on Mr Pinball that does include shipping. You also
somehow rounded $7695 up to $7800. Compare retail prices or compare
bottom line prices from the same vendor (without exaggeration) or you
are not comparing apples to apple. Also, ACDC LE appears to have a lot
more stuff in it than B Spiderman did.

Wait, let me get this straight. You're saying AC/DC LE is the best since
BSM wrt features? Yo do realize that all of those "features" (minus a
few purely cosmetic changes) are all in the original SM edition, which
sold for around $4k not so long ago. So shouldn't you be comparing AC/DC
LE to regular SM? (OK, add a couple of cans of black spray paint for
$10...)

If you're going to compare, AC/DC Premium = Spider-Man Red.....AC/DC
LE = Spider-Man Black. Same game - different art, trim, shaker
installed, real backglass.

Strange, the 'Super Lanes' and 'Super Loops' inserts seen just above
the flippers on both the Pro whitewood and finished playfield are
missing from the Premium/LE whitewood.

My initial impression is that this game is not heavily mode based, but
who knows what they've got in mind given the gameplay and scoring
options they say players will be presented with.

As a buyer of LTBR LE, this is my biggest concern. I love modes and
indeed the playfield doesn't seem to have a bunch of mode inserts.
Where is the wizard insert? Mini-wizard??

Obviously I have some degree of faith or I wouldn't have pre-ordered. I
hope I'm not disappointed.

It's not a rich man's game, it's just overpriced. You're still in the

Depends on where you put the magnet. I was envisioning a magnet like a magna-save
magnet, but ever-so-slightly off of the rest position (either forward or backward).
That would allow (with proper pulsing) the game to start ringing the bell, allow the
game to hold the bell steady, or with some good timing, pull the bell back to home
position allowing for a good ball strike to possibly divert it. (Wouldn't work if
the ball is riding the right wall, but otherwise probably would.)

Just thinking out loud here.

Right now I have a LOTR LE and WPT (both great games IMO), would like to
own a SM someday, also have a Sega and a couple of DE games, and enjoy
all of them. And I play pretty much all of the recent Stern games
locally as well.

[PeterGEvans]

Maybe I'm blind, but where is the shot that sends you to the lower
play field? And is there something to kick it back out besides just
launching a new ball? Maybe I'm thinking HH/BH too much here, but I'm
hoping that the lower play field isn't just used an an end of ball
bonus.

I suppose it could be that you just lock a ball somewhere and then
play the lower play field. There really isn't a need to transport the
exact ball down and up.

[cody chunn]

Apparently it has a captive ball that stays down there. Balls don't travel
between fields.

I cant wait to hear the reveiws after some of you guys get to put some
time on it.........

play...i thought thats some of the things we all like in gameplay..

Rumour is boys that another version of LE ACDC will come out with
different song title
GS underestimated the interest and underproduced the LE!
Ive got a BIB on order and if this was to happen I would be totally
pissed off!

I would be more than a bit pissed as well, as I (and everyone else
that preordered) spent an assload of money on this game the (LE), for
its LIMITED PRODUCTION, and extras..

not to have it be, MASS PRODUCED !

Make as many LE's as they can sell. If someone really wants one,
they'll find the dough. Tough $h!t about the VANITY aspect of ''001 of
200,'' etc. Drop the plate numbers and crank 'em out!

Doesn't really bother me, as long as they are consistent. If they
crank out more ACDC LE's they need to crank out more Tron LE's, so
either do both or none, but be consistent. They are a business with a
profit motive after all and need to make a good return for their
investors. I don't think they should place any artificial caps on
production to begin with. Just make good full featured machines and
let the market decide how many it wants. Drop the whole "collector"
"limited production" thing. IMHO.

I thought that was the purpose of the Premium version, though with it
being priced so close to the LEs it's not difficult to see why
collectors would go for the latter.

It will be utterly bizarre if another LE version is announced. I find
it hard to believe Stern will do that, but if they do then it
demonstrates they believe they've got collectors dancing on their
strings.

And if they build a 3th one, and they also sell out, then there believe
is justified! :D

Run another line of "ACDC Chrome ED 1000"! They'll sell! That's smart
and it's good for pinball. BIB is still the one to have. Just wait
till the ACDC guys see them, not pinball guys. ACDC guys! SOLD! If
Stern drops "Walking Dead" or Resident Evil on the market next. Little
bird told me. Watch out! There is the highly requested Zombie game. So
Stern pops ACDC and it's clearly taking off, launches a Zombie theme!
Who in their right mind would buy a WOZ and Hobit if you had to make
choice! I'll take a Zombie game and can sell 5 with my pre-order cash!
Can Stern pull back to back "Aces"?

[Todd S.]

Maybe they'll just rename the LTBR to HTH since the color scheme
matches HELL better.

But it wouldn't be (or already is, depending on how you look at it). The
BIB and LTBR LEs will still be limited. They're not making more of
those. They'll make more of a *different* LE. Or, gameplaywise, the LEs
are already being mass-produced as the Premium version, so anyone can
get the extra features without the added price of the LE (but with the
added price relative to the Pro, of course).

As for why Stern is doing this LE song and dance these days: well, it
certainly got a lot of, err, sophisticated buyers, to jump in and pay
ridiculous money for a game sight unseen for fear of them selling out.

Now that I believe Chuck. Keep them coming.

There is no fair in business, customer or not. Stern knows this, and
acts accordingly. The fair in business is where cash pays the salary of
the king in charge, the VC that pumped it back to life, and continues
the operations on a daily basis. There is no need for them to be
'consistent' about cranking out one model and another because you say
so. The market will demand what they do.

Actually the Playboy Mansion part is true, I seen pics on Chucks phone
at expo.
