Metallica - Stern - release 2013

[Wotto]

Yeah it is coming on real nice mate.....dont want to over do it.
There is SO much colour in the game artwork the game looks good anyway.

Starting to get some decent games on it and it can be REALLY fast.

The ball flies back from the stand up 'pick' targets - especially from the one right by the snakes head.
Still finding you have to nail SNAKE to make the ball stick in there ( not a fault , rather my crappy shooting ability )
On Snake he has a green light on his head ( 'he is hungry' ) - shoot ONE ball in and then the light goes out and you have to hit one of the snake shots ( they are all lit ) before you can 'feed him' again ( green light not on until then ) - what I just stated appears to be a little random at the moment .......I think if they work on the code and make the snake orange inserts 'move' ( like the arrows on WH20 in Wet Willies stage ) then it would be terrific and make it TOUGH ......maybe they can do this on the 2nd time around after scoring snake.

CC - had plenty of combo shots  - it is nice.

Still discovering more while trying to keep a ball in play - its a lot of fun

Repeat - IT NEEDS A SUB.

Let down - 2 of the Sparky calls are awful ' can I shock you too' SERIOUSLY sounds like someone badly impersonating Shaggy from Sccoby Do as I stated previously and I cant get that out of my head - other than that I am getting used to the calls.

NEARLY had FUEL mode started and then drained.

Wondering what happens when you light all the band members now ( from the pick shots )
Will keep persisiting

I dont want to watch the video - would rather discover myself for now

Mirror blades are almost a MUST on these new Sterns.
It just adds sooo much to a game and brightens up everything but makes the std body feel almost like a widebody.
Metallica is going to be just awesome. Shaker motor also a must on new Sterns. Adds a lot.

[Wotto]

I think a shaker WITH a Pinball PRo sub will start shaking bits loose

I find the stock speakers more than ample on bnib sterns.....but the speaker upgrade is like all other mods, u can never have too many.

have u decided on a nice topper yet wotto ?

The topper MADE ME LAUGH 
No mate trust me - something about this audio isnt 'right' - MAYBE it is the music that it just FEELS like it needs 'more'
The voices are FINE like all the other Sterns , but the music just seems 'lacking'
Maybe its my DEAF drummers ears as well

Cool, combos are great fun and Wet willies style flashing arrows/ roaming flashing arrows would be sweet on a wizard mode.
Lighting all the band members could be a nice mini wizard mode perhaps?
What is the snake made out of, is it plastic like wolverine and magneto?

Do you use earplugs when drumming?
I always use earplugs when cranking up my guitar rig.

looks awesome wotto, especially the leds and blades


What finish is on the wireforms - looks like a grey powdercoat

they are actually made from rubber, not plastic.

same for acdc bell, made from rubber not plastic.

the snake head will be rubber as well.

[Cow Corner]

Wolverine and Magneto are plastic not rubber, my wolverine broke his arm in the first week of ownership and I can assure you it is plastic.

[Caveoftreasures]

Daz, I have to dis-agree, sorry.
I have 2 spares here from Stern, which I took photos of for a X Men thread, and they are painted moulded rubber. Stern also confirms same on invoice which states moulder rubber figurine.
Look inside them, and squeeze them when its warm, they are rubber. Hard on outside, soft on inside.

I would bet snake head will be rubber as well, otherwise plastic will crack unless it has some flex in it.
I intend on buying a spare Sparky n snake head for a Metallica Pro, so will see if its the same as X Men toys.

[Cow Corner]

Well if that's rubber it's the worst frigging rubber going around, it is very flimsy.
Anyway sorry to go off topic.

I reckon Sparky on Metallica will be rubber.

I am going to buy one and some other stuff, I am just hoping that the costs for spares aren't too expensive.
I am betting it will be between $120 and close to $200 perhaps. Oucchh !

I WILL own a Metallica as my next machine, but for the mean time, I'd like a Sparky with my machines. Let me know how much they cost, Cavey!

Metallica has got me pumped. Been listening to all my old albums religiously and even started playing the guitar again.

Cheers!
Adam.
