Stern 2015 - Wrestlemania

[Strangeways]

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.

Need to stop worrying so much about the Aussie Dollar. The increases people don't like are the Stern increases. No one has control over the Aussie Dollar. It was good for all buying from 2010-2013. The Aus$ was $1.10 for a whopping 10 days. Regardless, every single operator I've spoken to in Melbourne have stopped buying LEs for the specific reason of Stern's pricing. COMBINED with the Aus$ (but not the main reason), this will affect Stern. No letters or emails will change that. If AMD raised the price by $750, they would have sold less games. By all means - all Home buyers SHOULD complain. Stern are supposed to be promoting the home industry, not killing it.

Finally got to play a Wrestlemania this week and I really enjoyed it.

The ring is actually quite fun and challenging, I found myself wanting to get back up there to try to 'pin' the wrestler I was against and pinning someone is not easy which is great.

The inner loop is also deadly, very fast return from it.

While there are not many shots to go for I did not notice and I had a great time with the game.

I will say it is not a theme I am interested in so I would not buy one but I will definitely say play one if you get a chance.

Just thought I would share my experience.

New code for all WWE Stern pinnies just released.

Machine has been very popular onsite in USA I am told and is selling well.
Good to see people enjoying such a diverse range of titles these days.

Would love one of these in a Pro next to my Royal Rumble Widebody Data East.

Is there one in Melbourne?

Played the Pro model tonight at KJWHF in Perth. This is a bloody fun game. Fast inner loop shot, great skill shot (which actually requires skill ) Interesting ring that is not as easy as some make it out to be, nice artwork ( if you like wrestling ), good call outs, nice light show and music( rock and roll " flight of the valkyries " is awesome and what appears to be a very, very deep rule set.
Simple, GO PLAY IT! congrats to the guys who bought it. Don't let the theme put you off if you don't like wrestling, UNIQUE!

Both the LE and pro model are at Zax Amusements in Melbourne for those looking..

[Brunswick Brawler]

Zax is a distributor, who will let you try the games.  As far as I know, none have yet been spotted in the wild in Melbourne.

WWE/LE is very nice. Lucky enough to play one tonight at KJWHF ( a lad named Mato bought one ) and it has a VERY noticeable difference from the Pro version. Very much for the better also.
The extra wrestlers to choose from, the JUMBO VISION screen, the spinning ring disk, the slam flipper/s, side lane kick-outs, beautiful gold metal ware and the signatures from Hulk Hogan, Gary Stern and John Trudeau top it off.
This is a F U N game and although I am not into the theme it has some cool things going for it.
Unique design and should not be scoffed at if you see one in the wild, play it, you will be surprised.
