Iron Maiden

"If Iron Maiden came out today and an LE was $13,000 and a premium was almost $10,000, Iron Maiden does not become the hit game it was back then"

Iron Maiden wouldn't be successful if released today at current prices

"Elton John music is way better than Iron Maiden music. For most people, he sold 360 million albums."

"And you all voted Iron Maiden the best stern pinball machine of all time. If Iron Maiden is the best stern pinball machine of all time, y'all are in big trouble because this game is so much better."

Iron Maiden is embarrassing compared to Guns N' Roses despite being voted best Stern machine

"my criticism of iron maiden's always been the same thing... that center ramp to me is the biggest like fail it's like the ball goes up the ramp it hits the target. But it just needed something more need it like a magnet to grab the ball when it hits that target and hold the ball frozen in mid air"

Iron Maiden lacks sufficient toys and mechs, especially disappointing center ramp

"But when it comes to like wow or magic and doesn't have it it doesn't have it"

Iron Maiden lacks magical wow factor despite being great

"I have to say I probably underestimated the power of Keith Owens design in Iron Maiden. I think the response to Iron Maiden was super strong. It was stronger than I imagined it would be."

Keith Elwin's design elevated Iron Maiden beyond theme concerns

"I think iron maiden and this is just me personally this is you you can like it all you want. I think it's some of the worst rock and roll music out there... It's just it's just not good. Let me run for the hills. It's just so I can't I won't even get into it"

Iron Maiden music is some of the worst rock and roll music - sounds like a cat dying

"I think that anyone who rushed in and bought an iron maiden pro without waiting to see what the premium package was I don't know why you would do that"

People shouldn't rush to buy Iron Maiden Pro without seeing the Premium artwork first

"when I look at the game and I look at the playfield and I look at the Egyptian theme happening all over the playfield, it's hard for me not to say that the premium comes across looking the most cohesive and well done. I have to say, I think the premium is the one I would want to own."

Iron Maiden Premium artwork is the most cohesive package and best choice

"so I bought an iron made in for $9,000. I then sell it for $12,000. I can then go buy a premium iron made in for what will cost me roughly $4,000. So that that's just crazy. So someone who spend $12,000 on an LE is basically playing the same exact game as me that I will be playing now for $4,000."

Iron Maiden LE buyers can profit by selling and buying Premium instead

"I know for a fact, this is 100% fact, that Iron Maiden Premium artwork has been approved for a while... So it really begs the question, why is Stern waiting to reveal the Iron Maiden Premium artwork to people? They have never, never, ever, ever in the history of a new game release, made people wait this long to see one of the art packages on the game."

Stern is deliberately withholding Iron Maiden Premium artwork despite it being approved for a while, forcing buyers to purchase without complete information

"Iron Maiden is a great game. It is one of Stern's best games ever. It is an incredible game."

Positive assessment of Iron Maiden as one of Stern's best games ever

"And mark my words. When people actually get their Iron Maiden L.E.s, they are going to be blown away. By the art, they're going to be blown away by the metallic foil from the shaker, the anti-reflective glass."

Prediction: When people get their Iron Maiden LEs, they will be blown away by the art, metallic foil, shaker, anti-reflective glass and everything Stern put into it.

"I think this game is for people who want to become better pinball players. I think for people who are tournament players and play frequently, they are going to love this game... if you're looking for toys and you're looking for interaction with the ball, I think Iron Maiden doesn't really have anything."

Iron Maiden is designed for tournament players and lacks interactive toys

Iron Maiden LE artwork criticism is unfounded and zombie Yeti's work is being unfairly attacked

"I have to tell you guys I think you're crazy like my first impressions when I saw this I was like that is super cool"

"I believe in capitalism I believe in you know when a distributor buys a game it's their game they can do what they want with it... I don't think it's a bad thing. I think it's just normal every day you know supply and demand at play here."

Distributors should be allowed to charge above MSRP for high-demand games like Iron Maiden LE

"I'm really curious to see when the first ones go up and to see how much over MSRP they're going to go for because this thing is not going to go for $9,000. I can tell you that right now."

Iron Maiden LE will sell for significantly over MSRP due to scarcity

"I think for the first time ever, I think for the first time ever, in the history of Stern limited editions, I think you are finally getting the value you deserve for an $8,995 Stern LE. I don't think we've seen any other Stern LE's provide you or can be justified for costing what they do."

Iron Maiden LE provides the best value ever seen in a Stern Limited Edition

"I literally spent two days listening to all different Iron Maiden songs and my takeaway from it is this. I think the lead singer of that band can't sing. Like, doesn't have a good voice... I think Iron Maiden, they're like one of those bands to me. They're like kind of like KISS. Where they used marketing really, really well to become really, really popular, but the music isn't really, really good."

Iron Maiden the band can't sing and is like KISS - all marketing, bad music

"Zambiyeti, once again, from Zidware fame to actually Ghostbusters acclaim to now creating what I believe to be Stern's greatest art package on a pinball machine to date. And that's not to take anything away, but I think he dethroned Dirty Donny's Aerospace Art Package"
