Oh dear, that "Drac Track" MB copy MJ is going to make for an easily warped and worn playfield - and in the meantime providing one of the most annoying looking toys in decades.

Good one Monkey Boys!

I'm not sure if I would play it if it payed me! It looks so boring, There arn't any modes and the music seemed like it would get annoying, Ok for fans but not pinball players!  *.*

This machine seems to be copping a rightly deserved bashing on most of the pinball forums around the world,I'm wondering if stern will pull the plug on this one or are they blind to widespread opinion,usually it's just your typical stern haters bagging new sterns but i am yet to read any positive comments even from the most loyal of stern fans. !@#

If I was given this machine for free, first thing I would do would be to swap the Mick Jagger moving playfield toy for a buck from a Big Buck Hunter.

Well if they are actively censoring opinions on their own forums, then I'd say that they don't care what the hobbyists and collectors think. It would be interesting to hear the thoughts from Operators who have sited test games. Watching this thread progress, there is not much support for this title, which is disappointing considering the accolades Ironman earned. Avatar had positive reviews, and there were NO negative opinions as it went through its proto stage. Personally, I was so impressed with Ironman, that I considered purchasing it.

I guess the first spare part for RS will be a breakable plastics set !

%.% %.% %.% %.% %.% %.%

judging from the look on his face, i'd say he's a bit constipated, with the screws thru his crotch and all  :lol :lol

I agree with others the photos on the pf look a bit ordinary, aside from that it doesnt look all that bad. having said that i was never really a big Rolling Stones fan so i wont be looking to own one anytime soon  *.* *.*

LOL-  Digital print Mick moving across the PF  is so cheesy!

And whoever is playing that machine plays like crap

So looks like it has 1 feature toy ,2 ramps don't know about magnets ?
You could add to this , a couple of extra interactive toys and a new theme and your there .   

I can also bet that the next Stern will step up to mark ( or will get better anyway) might have been too late for the RD to do any changes on this one .
does this mean your not buying one??

I said it would be big in the UK (afterall, if u couldnt sell them there, u might as well just committ suicide)

and that the "start me up" music would be the go on the machine (they had bloody better have used this with the audio ?)

but alas, the playfield wear from the moving Mick Jagger taking a dump, and the slot cut into the playfield will need a ten inch cliffy sooner than later (Stern may have shares in Cliffys business in the USA too.lol)

Hope it sells  !@#  My pommy neighbour might seriously buy it, he is a BIG Stones fan !  !@# !@#
