The new version of Avatar will be at the movies end of August, some 8-10 mins longer than the first version...

Also the 3D version has not been released yet.

Just a few more ways for the producers to milk the system...

Personally I think this sucks donkeys balls, I think that most avatar fans would not even know what a pinball is...

Cheers Angelo

and seeing a Avatar  on site  I can confirm yes there will be one as we have already sold one for site use

will advise of location once I confirm it if you like

mark

That would be great Mark. Let me know once you get them in stock and if there is any others to go out on site.
As for the one that has been pre-ordered with you, hoping it isn't the mob that run the Melbourne Airport pinnies...

That would be a hit with the ladies  :D

They really could not use the work "Twilight", as pinheads would have it confused with TZ. Can't call it "Vampire" either. "Vampoof" would be a GREAT title  @@^

Yahoo news reported yesterday that ACDC band made over 140 million in the tax year ending June 2010. ACDC could buy STERN ten times over n do their own pin. lol

Interesting Stern did not use Steve Ritchies design, he would have already been paid for it, it is a basic design with only two ramps, same as the end design, therefore would not have cost any more, did Gary do this to spite Steve??
It is well documented there was a little 'bad blood' there.

End design:


Steves design:

I try to be very positive about everything pinball, but also honest, so it pains me to say the following about this AVATAR pinball picture.
*It doesnt look very challenging at all. I could be wrong, but i think STERN could do ALOT better than that.

Lets see what a real one looks like and plays like.?

I think STERN has taken Gary's "simple, less toys, less cluttered, easier to maintain, lower cost" option to the extreme on this machine. AND I FEEL IT IS A BIG BIG MISTAKE. ONE THAT WILL HURT FINANCIALLY BIG TIME.

STERN will have to do alot better than that if it is to survive. I think STERN needs someone new in Management. Surely they could have done better.
With todays technology, these machines are not eeven a shadow of anything released in the early to mid ninety's. Thats confronting.

Just watch a video on a STERN release like Family Guy, and u see just how deep a rule set, and how many playfield shots that machine had.
This AVATAR pin looks half of that machine. GULP !

the youtube ( no sound) of Avatar leaves a little to be desired,  hopefully the stern official video will be better,
 the 3D backglass is a nice touch.
