Talking with Stern this morning , They have informed me that AMD will distribute the LE LOTR here in OZ #*#.
There is a 99.5% chance that the game will be made :D , all aspects for the relaunch are positive at this stage ,production will be in the Fall @@*.
AMD still don't have pricing but they are planning to email pinball enthusiast with updates and information :lol .
So interested parties should contact AMD and pass on there email address for future information as it comes in .

Hey Ant
I have an LOTR - simply superb game. No intention of upping to gold, but next time you're chatting with your mate Gary Stern maybe you could probe him about the AC/DC proposal in a cordial manner?

Maybe if we all rally together and do what Jack has done ,put a proposal to Gary that if a pre-order of 300 units is presented to him would he consider this pin ?
Licensing would be another issue also .

Hi all just wondering what is LOTR? ^&^
Yes, pinball people tend to use abbreviations (usually the initials) and/or acronyms to refer to pinball machines. LOTR = Lord of the Rings
For help with this there are a couple of lists around. Here's one - http://www.bull.usyd.edu.au/pinball/

Hmmm...rumour and innuendo hey...what would the pinball world be without it? As far as I can tell Stern are the only company making pinballs. Actually there are 2 if you count the CI crew. There's a fine line between rumour and BS. Some seem to specialise in the latter in abundance.

thats not me
and i am not taking deposits
-
shit.... would'nt that be ironic,if stern closed up on 25 oct 09,.. exactly 10years after bally/williams !!!
-
Let's not start another round of Stern rumours!
Let's see - closing, sold to Aussies, closing.
If and when they close that will be news.

No, and that bird has flown the coop, I think. Also JK Rowling would need to be convinced that pinball wasn't evil...
