So so so many negative & incorrect ASSumptions.
Firstly, AMD only take BNIB Sterns out of the box if the buyer has agreed to it or has requested it.
AMD has never unboxed any of my BNIB Sterns.
I have also never had one fault with a NIB Stern.
Unboxing videos are enjoyable to people who like seeing other members realising their dream of owning a new pinball machine. Just because some idiots are Stern haters it doesn't mean other people can't or shouldn't enjoy other people unboxing a new toy.
Also, the personality types comment about Stern etc is just insulting.
These attitudes are just ignorant & discriminatory.
Is this thread going to be ruined by more Stern assassinations.
If it wasn't so very very stupid it would be comical.
Sorry Cavey you are incorrect, now AMD
unbox every machine unless specifically requested due to issues & problems as they rather catch issues at their shop before it goes to customers homes and business locations.
This is Bruce's response to my NIB question
"We don’t send many pinballs out new in box,if there is anything wrong when you unpack it causes too many problems!"And based on guys in Europe, Canada and the USA there are lots of problems with Slimer no registering and one slimer broke off the wire with 10 games, a few cases of clear chipping at the shooter lane, captive ball wire bending and Stern's response was just rebend it back and so many games went out with the insert spelling error all around the world when Stern said it was just a proto - which obviously was a lie as they would of had 500-1000 playfields done and just used those. Bruce didn't know about the spelling mistake and then checked his own game and it was there and promptly chased up Gary.
This is one of Stern's best looking and packed games in a long time and wanted to support and had knowledge of it for far longer than the general public but for business and personal reasons at this point in time I have cancelled my order, hoping to get one in 12-18 months time.
As for Stern many people want to support them and are very positive but when they constantly drop the ball on QA issues the doubt grows. They might have the biggest factory and able to build 9 different games at a time but their parts supply/stock , man / lady power, and scheduling hold them back on delivering machines on time and without QA issues. No point flogging off to people that you can build 9 different games on multiple production lines when stocks run out and stops machines going into boxes and you effectively sending out far less models - production delays on Metallica, GB and others.
