 Week 1: WOW STLE is fantastic! BEST STERN EVER!
 Week 2: STLE is GREAT! I think if they had done (x) it would have been even better
 Week 3: has anyone heard about a code update?
 Weeks 4-8: it's been a while since the last code update ... Have you heard anything?
 Week 9: Code update is coming guys - musketd

I had the pleasure of playing one of these yesterday. Felt a lot more solid than I've come to expect from Stern, plays fast as hell and is a real looker, too. Shaker motor scared the shit out of me when I first kicked it off, only because I didn't know it had one in it!

Another Great Ritchie Pin™

Ssssshhhhhh, keep it secret. No, only kidding. Yes it is something special and brilliant from a Stern offering of late. The speed of this thing still catches me out, when you least expect it. I have down tuned the slingshot power to 20 on mine (range 8 to 64) and it is still lightning fast. Set it to 64 and the ball is just a blur. Ritchie at his best, the Master for sure.

Heya andy and pinheads,

sorry about the review,

I've been crook with vertigo this new year cant drive atm,
going to see specialist that helped Anthony stampone and my sister next Tuesday.

Being an old school 90tees bally Williams fan,
I was a bit worried if STLE would live up to the classics like MM,IJ,TZ,ADDAMS,CFBL,HS2 in the collection,

I HAVE BEEN PLEASENTLY SUPRISED,
I wasn't expecting such an impressive overall package,
'To really enjoy an understand the game watch the to jj adams star trek movies

As you know we are huge steve Richie fans with,BK,HS HS2,F14 T2 SUPERMAN IN THE COLLECTION,
so we new that the game would have awesome ramp shots and returns and fastas,

Gibo upgraded the software for us which has made the game more enjoyable and challenging and has switched on
some of the neat LE features,wrap ramp chasing lamps and headbox insigna and the GI lightshow is amazing in attract mode.

In the end of the day pinnipop always wanted a brand new game after collecting for 15 years and he is wrapped with STLE #44.


Some interesting features for me are the 18 modes and at the end of each 6 modes a mini wizard multiball,
The away team shot under the flipper,
vengeance ship exploding and vuk really cool
laser multiball awesome effect really cool in the night,
The combo scoring a great feature and is secret to scoring bigger scores consistently.
Mirror glass really cool and sidebox art pop loves it and neat feature of the side rails lighting up is awesome.
Gibo has fixed a few issues were the ball gets caught up and we replaced some post rubbers with sleeve's much to Steve Richie's disgust,
An upgrade to the sound system will happen in the future.

Im only a very average player so the ramps shots and open playfield appeals for my level of playing,

live catch,bounce pass and drop catching will really help slow down the game and help with making combo shot scoring.

Im hoping to feel better soon so I can have a crack at knocking pinnipop of Grand champ.
