Odd to release 2 games so close. Even if it's kapow people only have so much to drop in one go.

Love the original Metalica so looking forward to seeing the new one and maybe some 2nd hand originals being sold
I wish Premiums were £9699 over here.
Who’s that instead of Sparky? Fecking Skeletor?
How do you even electrocute a skeleton?

Be good to see a new MET, hope they do a good job.
Happy to have my Lyman retro original, the DMD gives it character.

I’m with John on this. Prefer the dots/colour dmd. Mind you colour dmd was not std so this will be a big upgrade on the red led screen..
Still Donnie on the art ?
I vastly prefer cartoon/colorDMD artwork on music pins to a big LCD screen with concert footage. Normally, I'm playing a machine where I neither know, not particularly, care for the band. I've never, personally, been into musicians - so, instead of evocative cool DMD artwork, I get video clips of average-looking dudes playing guitar :/
It's like "I could watch a cool animation of a demon sitting on a pile of skulls and a snake puking" or "I could watch historical footage of a bunch of guys who look like they need a good wash"
I guess unless it’s GnR where some of the animations from the gigs are seriously cool..
Is this not a bit of a marketing gaff with the release of the x-men pin just a few weeks ago?
The market is saturated as it is. Releasing two pins within a month of each other?

They've got to keep the big factory upgrade ticking over. One new pin, one 'vault'?
I think it is Spike 2.
I'd assume this is Borgs game that was supposed to be before xmen so spike 2.
Ah ok, I thought the rumour was spike 3
Having played Metallica LE at 8 Bit Flip I would honestly say it's the best machine I've ever played. So very interested indeed
Trouble is, it's going to cost as much as a nice Porsche Boxter or two Yamaha R6's. Which is a lot of money for plywood and a few circuit boards etc

£10995 Premium and £14995 LE, so usual pricing.

So what do you get with the LE to possible justify 4K more?
Absolutely insane prices. I more than happy to have 4 classics WMS games for that price.

Ok - so when Stern said they wouldn't be doing anymore LEs of existing games, 'remasters' of existing games weren't included? Bit of a huge loop hole there.
Some extra bits worth a few hundred at most, a signature worth nothing, and I think you now get your game first. That's it.
The last LE I bought was Jurassic Park at £10k when the Premium was £9k. I just can't imagine spending £4k extra for the exact same game.
Ok, that cab art is pretty awesome.

After playing Metallica in Tilt today it just reaffirmed to me what a great game this is. Cabinet artwork, playfield artwork and backglass on this look great. I'd never buy one but sure want to play it, what are the alternative tracks on this?
The new tracks seem to be all from the last few albums apart from Hit the Ligjts. I was pumped for this but think I prefer the DD package and Sparky more.
I paid £6.5k for a MOP LE NIB. Not sure I’m seeing an extra £8.5k of value in the remaster!

Same game basically no reason to change your current machine for this one
I love the art package from Rhys Cooper though!!
