That Elwin vid was the definition of "chopping wood" for the last half of the video.
I was struggling to understand why he was able to shoot super jackpots over and over again with only one ball in play?
Obviously the code is very preliminary at this stage.

Seems like the ramp shot really dominates this layout.
I'm happy to see that the Premium and LE will have a 2nd ramp shot with a different return to the left flipper.

I really like this machine. I mean I really like it. It is a dream theme for me and for a beta pin it already plays very well. Premium is definitely the way to go as the second ramp to the left flipper is badly needed. I love the small details given to this pin. The JOIN GHOSTBUSTERS decal on the main ramp, the faint starburst patterns on the stand-up targets, and how they stuck the Crain Communications Building from Chicago into the NY buildings sitting on top of the pops (or at least that's my take on it).

Just a lot of details on this machine. These kind of details mean people really cared about this design. They put their hearts into it and it really shows.

BTW, am I the only one that removes that MADE IN THE USA sticker off the glass of Stern machines? I can't stand stickers on glass.

Will this be your first NIB? I've been thinking about getting my first NIB. Lots of great choices out there right now.

If the dollar was stronger I would not hesitate to buy a Premium. Right now it's sitting at .77USD. I would have a hard time convincing my wife to buy a pinball machine for $5K let alone $8K. What's the price on a Premium expected to be? $10K+ CAD Ugh...

I can't justify it. As much as I want to justify it I would have to sell a pile of stuff to get this game. Both of my existing pins would disappear and my entire retro video game collection would have to go. Is it worth it? Tough decisions ahead...

Tough decisions for sure, $10K is serious money. When I started this hobby, I figured $30K would get me a top notch 7 pin collection. Who would've thought that it might just barely get you 3 new Sterns?

If this follows the recent Stern model though, the premiums will be available for a decent amount of time, so unless you really need an LE, you can wait and see how it plays, and how the code develops.
