Metallica - Stern - release 2013

[Freiherr]

John Borg told me via a recent email, that the NEW title would be released just after Fall.....

so if anyone can tell us when Fall is in the USA, u will have a rough date. 

The north hemi falls while the south hemi springs to it's feet. Merry Christmas and Santa's reindeers will be exhausted this year.

What ever happened to a sense of humour.     Even Stalin would have laughed at the red slippers etc. It was well written and entertaining.
Wotto said something funny, so whats the big deal. It is a one horse race at the moment. Stern is pumping out titles, and JJP has been spinning its wheels for ages. So what, things will change. They are brand new, they need time, or extra people to get WOZ started.  

Just because someone makes a joke doesnt mean things need to be looked at with a magnifying glass.

Hows it not a one horse race, Stern are boxing n sending out various titles, JJP hasnt started its production line.
In any event, back to the first question, what ever happened to a sense of humour, Wottos post was funny. No reason for any one to fret or worry. Even Jack might even laugh.

Sense of humor 

Not even funny in the slightest. I'm not commenting on wotto's thread, it was your jab at JJP - and YOU wonder why topics have to be split, and topics have to be cleaned up etc etc .. 

Sheesh..

Whatever Nino.  Someone makes 2 or 3 jokes, and its fine, I make a joke and I get singled out, OFCOURSE !  I call that discrimination.
How about you either laugh at both peoples jokes, or blame two people, but dont discriminate.
What a shame its not a level playing field on here, any excuse to attack me. Pathetic.   I wont waste my time reading any more on this topic, but as usual, I will print n save the hypocrisy posts.

I just hope the game is received and sells well, just keeps the pinball dream alive.

Must be a lot of buzz around Stern at the moment, would be great to be part of it - choosing upcoming titles, design etc..

[Wotto]

Tony - the word 'around the place' is that this title is going to absolutely KILL IT in the marketplace.
Hence I got my name top of the list at AMD this morning 
Cant be any more positive towards a title and a companies efforts than that 

Aint NO WAY I am missing out on this game.
I watch the video clip with the bursts from 'Master' playing and I am already excited about this game.

By the way Fall is around 5 months away in the USA - it is our Springtime

[Caveoftreasures]

Here by Xmas then easily with 2 or 3 months to spare .   Sounds good.

My thoughts exactly. :)

Looks promising to me and I'm pretty happy with that song list too.

Only problem is I want this and an acdc pin now. Why do they keep making pins of my favorite bands 

They haven't announced pricing yet have they?

[Caveoftreasures]

AMD has said same pricing, and IF any increase, max $100, so usual Pro model from $6200 ish without shaker or delivery.

ACDC is $5950, but i cant see any other pinny starting that low again.  LE should be $8950 ish plus delivery

AMDs auto mailing list should come out when the time is right.

Looking forward to more pictures.

some more info that has spoken with the designer.

"1st off guys the PRO does have the inline 3 bank of targets in front of the cross and also some clarification on the electric chair
It's torso moves and the bobble head portion moves twice as much. When you see the light show for that event you will wet yourself.
The whole electric chair mech is the same on all models."

"Yep he wanted everyone to be clear on that. Lyman and Borg will not be letting anybody down"

"One LE and a Premium and a Pro."

"Pro will be pretty action packed on this one guys"

Massive thumbs up to the artwork on this machine.  For me personally, this is what pinball 'artwork' should be.  Major improvement on recent playfields.

As many have already mentioned, I can see this machine giving AC/DC a big run for it's money as far as production numbers go.  Maybe this is the start of Stern's response to competition in the market....let's hope it isn't a one off.  I would rather see genuine artwork like this as opposed to the introduction of an LCD screen (as an example) on Stern machines.

idea of what the dots will be like

Agree with the art, wonder if Metallica just said you have to use our artist instead of Stern's photoshop artists, especially when this was Donny's first Metallica pin (1 off)

Big +1 from me also, I dont care to much either way for LCD sceens or DMD's for that matter. for me thats not what instantly appeals about a pinball machine. Good original artwork is what draws me in.
