Who knows what Stern might do if it means getting/attracting more sales. ?

Add another bash toy?

Latest video looked ok gameplay wise. Was thinking it would have been better if they had MM troll style zombies and a MB drac track or two with zombies to hit rather than one big bash toy???

now that's a great idea for such a theme. I kept seeing 'walker killed' but nothing that resembled a walker. Please note I've never seen the show.

Re bash toys on games, I like them because visually alone it adds something in 3D that is great to look at. Flat playfield art alone in 2014 just doesn't cut it. Then ofcourse, when u are trying to hit something on a playfield shot wise, it's not always that easy on a timed shot, even if its large. Remember when games didn't have interactive toys, boring. I think bash toys look the part and give u something interactive to hit. U can always find something great in something if u have a positive outlook. But, that's just me. I like Sterns. I would never sell my new Sterns, I just find them to be sooo much fun. I think they are the latest and greatest, regardless of the baggers. Lol

Stern ain't perfect but they seem to be trying their hardest.
I would like to see the baggers go and work at Stern for a few weeks. It's always easier said then done when bagging other people's work. Also yes, some of the ideas raised above are good ideas as well.

Baggers???...Criticism where criticism is due... bash toy is a stand up stationary target... its actually DOES something on the LE ( spew its gut) and does NOTHING on the pro... just a big lump of plastic centre stage.

Stern took this.......



and gave it undue accolades.

To be honest, I'm a bit over bash toys altogether.....unless it's Sparky. Sparky can do no wrong in my eyes.
 :D

Gav, you must have the LE there....my Mario doesn't have those sweet additions. haha.

Still need to play the Walking Dead and make up my own mind. Does anyone know if the Peacock Inn is getting one soon? Will check it out when I'm in Melbourne in December.

Cheers!
Adam.

Bash toys.  Nothing new there, in fact bash toys have gone backwards,  less interactive.  Look at the castle on MM, or Drac and Frankie on MB. At least they actually moved.!

Just downloaded TWD SE05-01, about to watch.  ;)

Stern wouldn't do that, that would make too much sense!

Season5 Ep1 is extreme!

There's a fine line between mechanical toys that work well and breakdown.
All the BEST interactive ones in history were always mechanical nightmares.
Its a hard call, fancy and lots of maintains xe or basic and longterm trouble free.
Its a hard call I must admit.

Static plastic bash toys that break or crack over and over again are even worse.

Wolverine on X-men is a classic example.
