I saw that right away as I played T2 this weekend! What a pathetic effort....
It's BOHICA time, grab your ankles boys......
If anybody shells out 7k for ANY Stern NIB, I don't care what designation they put behind it, they are nuts! See TF recent quality control issues and the look blows this orange turd away!
Now think about this for a second.....HEP posted his #36 TF LE Decepticon on here for sale last week at a price of $5,995....and you know he had made some tweaks for the better.....still no takers as it's been listed on Mr. Pinball Classifieds....by comparison, it should have sold immediately...
TF quality control issues and now they rush this one out at 7k for the LE....GL to those that pre order...the distributors will be sitting on piles of these....including TF

Amen. This does not look like a Rock Pin to me.

Quoted from NimblePin:

Well, I was sorta close on the 200 thread before lunch...
I will be the first to formally apologize to Gary and crew for the earlier criticism.
I was just venting my frustration with Stern's current business model... I mean no harm at the end of the day. At the same time, you have to be prepared to take some slings and arrows when you release a game that looks like well... AC/DC!!!
My point is,
With JJP dropping WOZ soon and TF still sitting in the warehouse, why would you want to send AC/DC out into the world looking like an unfinished, rushed product?!? Have you ever considered having pinball related focus groups that come in and give feedback for the next Stern product? I'm thinking you don't... If you had invited me into one of those sessions, I would have given you an honest review of what was in front of me. I would have also stressed the importance of keeping things simple. Make two machines- one for the home market and one for the ops. Keep the flow and feel of the machines the same but give the hardcore player what they want in a pin. Deeper rules, more durability (better parts, clearcoat) and a premium trim/finish package that makes jaws drop!
Easier said than done???
I don't think so- and I'd bet my paycheck it would sell you more pins!
Again, sorry about the harsh words earlier.
