Read this on RPG and LTG seems to have the inside scoop and by all accounts it looks like AC-DC is going to be a sensational pin. Not sure how it can live up to the hype but getting very curious
Steve Ritchie is working on the most awesomest ACDC pin to make everybody go
holy sh*t and scramble to get theirs.
He's been working harder and longer on this game than any other in pinball
history. To mark his triumphant return to Stern Pinball with the greatest
game ever.
Don't worry about when it's coming or when we'll get a glimpse of it, worry
about how to get yours.
I suspect in a months time we will be witnessing the most exciting things in
pinball since Williams closed.

No I'm not being sarcastic.
And I've been a friend of Steve's for many years.
Now as far as theme, back when you had four companies building forty
different games each year, eventually your favorite theme might come along.
When you have Stern working on four different games each year, well there is
no way in hell you'll please everybody.
Pick a theme, some will like it, some will call it a waste.
With the limited titles coming out, I'd wait and see and play before I call
it a waste.
You have to pick something, and arrange it, and ACDC came up.
Right now I'm more excited by the goings on.
In late 1999 when Williams shut down their pinball division, I kid you not,
ops didn't know the future availability of rubber rings or light bulbs, much
less anything else. Stern was just getting rolling and not many were looking
to them.
Now twelve years later look at what is going on. A year from now it will be
rolling. But right now we are fortunate to be witnessing the greatest in
happenings in pinball in too many years. To be part of the excitement and
hopes for a better future for the game we love.
Stern is coming on like gangbusters, the whole package not just dumming
things down.
Look at the Transformers LE with the red trim, isn't that the hottest
package for a production pin ever ?
You think Steve is sitting back and not doing things to top it ? Steve is
going to plant his flag now and forever on the Mount Everest of pins.
And don't forget Jersey Jack. Wizard Of Oz is just a start. He'll make his
mark with that pin, and his next few games will really light things on fire.
And we get to watch things unfold and come together.
These are great days my friends and should enjoy them as such. They won't
come again, only get better.

Sounds like they're banking on Steve Ritchie's name and pin designing skills to sell this one though, although that only really works with people who've heard of him (i.e not the general public).
