I was watching a ABC Television show the other night, a show called 4 Corners. Excellent show, been around for 30 plus years.

The Australian retail economy, is at its worst, since the last worst economy, over 27 years ago. I am assuming the USA economy is similar, with some saying their dollar is the worst, also for aprox 30 years etc. My personal opinion is, that we need to get rid of the labour government in this country, and although I reckon the USA president Barrack Obama is doing a much better job than Bush ever did, the USA population needs to make a scapegoat of someone to turn the economy around.

A change of governments can only bring about more confidence in the $$ economy. I think things economy wise, will still get alot worse before they get better.

If company's like STERN and Jersey Jack dont come up with AMAZING titles, they will simply go broke.
Personally, the Wizard of Oz is a BAD CHOICE. If u emailed 1000 pinball players/collectors and asked them to put up a title they would like to see built, i dont think one person would have picked a movie title from the 1940's.  It would seem that STERN isnt the only company without some 2011 imagination. I hope it is a amazing machine. It would have to be in order to spend over $6500 in this slow economy.  !@#

NOTE - I will add, since the project ia already on its way, that if done right, with great imagination and use of the Wicked Witch on the broomstick, and all the cast members of the movie (tin man, cowardly lion, scarecrow, dorothy, red shoes, flying house, Kansas and the tornado etc), it just might be good enough to remind alot of people about their childhood, which the Wizard of Oz movie was to alot of people. I really hope they do a amazing job on the playfield with toys and features). It might just sell well, although a very unusual first choice ?  !@#
