ohhh, and I wanted to add, the delivery date for the first big batch of AC/DC pins is around early March. If u are seriously thinking of buying a AC/DC pin, ring Bruce, have a chat, put down a deposit, and secure one, cause the Pro model is selling like hotcakes, the world wide demand is thru the roof, and the production line at Stern will be going flat out. That just means if u get in right now, u may secure a Pro model from the first AMD seafreight container, or u will have to wait for the next container.
I was amazed at a few people who said they had ordered a LE model, but said they will jump on a Pro model instantly, cause it was so good. People were so excited playing this pin. Yep, the overall package is probably the most enjoyable machine I have ever played. The music and the dot matrix, just the whole thing makes pinball so dam fun. I still cant get over how much fun we all had. People were dam excited. No one wanted to go home. It was that good. I think $5950 is a bargain. So much bang for ya buck. The operators just loved this machine as well. Everyone loved it. There was nothing anyone complained about at all. nothing. yeh, a real fun machine. the pin will do wonders for the aussie pinball movement. EXCITING TIMES. What a winner they have here.
ohh, also forgot the colour combinations are spectacular. its bright reds n yellows with blacks n greay etc. in the flesh it is so much better than the photos originally released. the black legs work well, the cabinet art is great. the headbox colours are great. everything here works. my initial thoughts 3 or 4 weeks ago, were totally wrong. in the flesh this machine rocks. The LE versions must also be dam winners too. The playfield colours are great, and the ugly head aint ugly at all when u have the machine under you. first photo impressions are nothing like seeing it and touching it. they have done a dam good job. u see so much more when u study the artwork on the playfield n all the small touches u cant see in the previously released photos. bling mirror blades, a few strategically placed LEDs and a shaker motor, even a topper will send this thing into outer space of goodness.
so many things i am remembering. will just keep adding stuff as i remember.. oohhh the music, the clarity, the LOUDNESS when u turn this baby up high. MAGNIFICENT. Probably the best speaker package n audio package to date. Man, wait til u guys get to play it.
i just wish all the AP guys could jump on a bus. what a fun machine. people, even critics, WILL be blown away.
