Metallica

"People are like, I think I'm going to play this game 25,000 times this year. Good. That's what you should be doing with this amazing game. If you buy a Metallica LE and you're afraid to play it or you're going to sell it in just a few years with under 200 plays, you, sir, did not live."

Stern's Metallica Remastered getting extremely positive reception, owners should play 5-7k times to battle depreciation

"The worst topper in pinball, because it sits on top of one of the most beautiful games that has ever come out, is Stern Pinball's Metallica topper. OMG, did they just fall asleep at the wheel designing this thing?"

Metallica topper is worst of 2024 - $1000 for cheaply done topper with no moving parts

"The bomb on that topper is less than $100... $100 and they're selling it for $900."

Metallica topper costs less than $100 to make but sells for $900

"Imagine making the most delicious ice cream sundae and you put a rotten cherry on top of it and you say, here you go. Here's your sundae. That's what Stern did with the topper for Metallica. Scarbage, garbage, $1,000?"

Stern's Metallica topper is garbage compared to their beautiful game

"A thousand dollars for one of the cheapest looking toppers ever. Expression lighting kit is expensive, side armor, shooter knobs. I think if you bought everything, someone who bought all of it, it was something like 2400 dollars for everything to accessorize a Metallica premium."

Metallica LE accessories are overpriced, especially the topper

"This game is probably the best Stern launch since Godzilla. I think the demand for Metallica, Remastered LE, is actually greater than the demand was for Godzilla. I think only making 500 was a very smart move by Stern Pinball."

Metallica LE is the best Stern launch since Godzilla, extremely high demand

"This game is probably the best stern launch since Godzilla. I think the demand for Metallica remastered LE is actually greater than the demand was for Godzilla."

Metallica LE remastered is the best Stern launch since Godzilla

"I actually think this game might sell for around $20,000 this year... Stern marches out a 12 year old game and just pluses it up a little bit and they're going to sell more metallicas than they'll ever sell of avatar."

Metallica LE will sell for $18-20k and shows Stern's superior market position

"A lot of guys have premiums who are like, oh, yeah, I'm happy with my premium. No, you're not. Don't lie."

Premium owners are lying when they say they're happy with their premium version

"The old game isn't better in any way, shape or form. This game is crazy good. The LE is much better than the premium."

Metallica LE remastered is superior to the original and premium versions

"If you're to ask me right now, I think this game is a $16,000 to $18,000 purchase right now because I think a lot of people are never going to let it go... So don't listen to the Pinside babies. They don't know what they're talking about. This game is going to keep going on the up and up."

Metallica remastered LE will sell for $16,000-$18,000 on secondary market and won't drop in value

"The LE looks so much better than the premium. It is crazy to me, the amount of people that are trying to justify the fact that because the LE is sold out and you can't get one that you're going to be like, the premium is better."

The LE looks far superior to the premium version

"I do believe that this is not going to be a game that sells for 13 and then goes all the way down to 10. And the simple reason is it really is one of the few modern Stern games where there's only 500 LEs like of that version of the game."

This LE will hold value better than typical modern Stern games

"If you can get your hands on one, there's probably no safer bet recently in the pinball world"

Metallica Remastered at $13,000 with only 500 LEs is the safest bet in pinball and will sell out instantly

"So if Stern is on the record for saying they're never, ever doing that again, releasing a new LE when existing LEs exist, what does that mean? It either means they're lying about that statement and this is going to be a remake of the classic Metallica game with new artwork, or it means that this is a fully new Metallica game."

New Metallica will be an all-new game, not a remake, based on LE announcement

"There's no way around it. It's gonna take attention away from X-Men. It's gonna take attention away from Avatar and Alice."

Metallica Remastered will steal attention from X-Men at Expo

"if you own a Metallica and you think you've got a Metallica LE right there was all those like special versions and you put all this money... trust me your game's gonna be lapped by this new version"

New Metallica will blow away original owners' games

"The other rumor I'm hearing now is that Metallica, which will be the first game on Spike 3, you heard it here first from Kaneda's Pinball Podcast, might still be the original design. It might not be a brand new design, and it might have new artwork."

Prediction: Metallica might be the first game on Spike 3 platform and might keep the original design with new artwork.

"it is one of Stern's best games ever. It is one of Lyman's best games ever. It is one of John Borg's best games ever"

Original Metallica pinball is one of Stern's best games ever

"If I were to be honest with you, the listener, this is the one that I hear the most consistently as the best Stern game in the last nine years. That is Metallica. That game seems to always be on the short list of best Stern Pinball machines."

Metallica is the best Stern game in the last 9 years, with AC/DC, Walking Dead, and Batman also being great

"you can't tell me that Ghostbusters and Metallica in terms of people's love affair with them are equal and I'll explain why people yes people love Metallica and they have a huge fan base but there's tons of people that don't like Metallica at all at all and music is much more polarizing than film."

Ghostbusters theme is more universally appealing than Metallica for pinball machines
