Stern 2015 - Wrestlemania

[swinks]

The LE definately looks the goods. Looks like the GOLD edition LE !
Certainly will stick out in any collection.
Can't wait to see one in person as well as the Pro WWE.
Well done !

might be challenge given the prices

Got an email today from Bruce at AMD in Sydney.
He has three only x The Walking Dead Pros still available at the $7100 pricing.
If u want to save $750 get in quick with a deposit.

Just watched some you tube videos of Wrestlemania.  They seemed to have got the pop bumpers screwed up.

The ball hardly ever drops in to them coming out of the ring, and it looks like the only way to way to shoot the ball into the bumpers is via a lucky ricochet.  Even the third flipper and slugger on the LE isn't lined up to shoot into the bumpers.

If u don't bother bouncing the ball around in the wrestling ring, doesn't the ball just roll directly into the pops.
I am looking forward to playing this one when AMD or TimeZone gets one to play.

Not quite.  If the ball drains from the centre of the ring, it falls into posts such that it should randomly go down the left or right rails to the flippers, or down into the pops.  But the current videos have a post arrangement that mostly puts the ball into either the left or right rail.

It may be a simple matter of the post placements needing minor adjustment.  I hope they allow that to be user adjustable - its the kind of think that is affected greatly by the incline of the pinball machine.

listened to the latest Coast to Coast podcast today and the LE has a number more features but what was surprising is Trudeau suggested that it was meant to be a pro only and that the Stern RRP in the US is actually lower than TWD.

then you have to wonder what AMD are doing by bumping the price with the next shipment considerably as well as making it the same as a TWD or more......


Hey Cavey, ever find get a responce back from Stern that you can share about potential loss of sales due to the price increases down under.

Apparently Stern has raised the Pro pricing up apx $300 over the last 12 months but AMD haven't passed on the price rise which was good of Bruce.
Then recently, with the Ausdie Dollar being so low, the pricing difference which AMD have again been wearing, had to be added to all new stock after marchs container arrivals. Hence the $750 price rise we shld have got a year ago but AMD held on til they couldn't hang on anymore.

Stern has said they are relooking at the pricing and nothing is set in stone forever. One thing they did say is that they have only had a very small number of people writing to them re the price increases. More people need to drop a email to Bruce and Stern because it will help.

Also the RRP for the WWE Pro is the same as all other models accross all the USA Stern Dealers that I can see. Not sure what JT was getting at. All Pros for any model are always the same on USA Ebay.

Both flyers look great. Pro would be my choice.

Well done Stern.

GS talks about about wrestle mania and others. Looks like some fun to me, regardless of theme

Have to give them credit for at least trying something a bit different.
