No Premium announced kind of worries me. Don't want to jump on the LE bandwagon on this one, done that too many times. I like all the toys though. Hopefully it is a hit and they rollout a Premium version in the new year.

It seems a Premium model is totally dependent on how well the LE sells. With Lyman and Borg's track records, I'm betting there will be a Premium version eventually.

They announced a Premium Avengers before the game came out... look how well that worked out for them :lol:

I'm waiting to hear Adam's opinion on whether the LE is worth the extra cash :)

Won't know until I play it.

Have to see how the added features change gameplay.

ACDC is still the only game thus far where the LE/Premium changes gameplay enough to warrant the extra price.

TWD seems to have potential, with the extra bash target, up down ramp, and drop target on the shooter lane return, so we will have to see what Lyman does with the code.

I have to say I do like the look of the layout, it looks fairly unique.

Looks like Stern has shipped TWD overseas so hopefully we will see some game play video early next week.

Why is every gameplay video of a new game some double flipping chimp who can barely play the game :)

The custom dots on the display are great, the feed back on the well walker is kinda cool, how he flips back, I'm just worried about him being too big for his own good similar to that of Wolverine on Xmen.

It's hard to get an actual feel for the gameplay, but I am interested to try it for sure.

the more I look at it, the more I'm thinking the Pro is the way to go here..

I couldn't agree more and lots of money left over to customize and mod it out too.

Funny thing, that's apparently Gary Stern playing in that vid.

Further re-enforcing why Gary is a tool, this guys has been playing Pinball for HOW LONG and he still chimps on the flippers like a n00b?

Another Walking Dead game play video with crap picture quality but at least it gives you a better idea of the sounds, music and dots. All you could hear in the other videos with Star Trek and Iron Man :FP:
