Quoted from PW79:Luci?
For reals?
That is a tough call.
Luci is sweet. But damn, it needs a $400 color DMD. Even then it's color DMD dots vs native LCD animations. It's a tough pill to swallow when Aerosmith is $5200 cash ($5700 online).
Anyone know if the rumors of Elvira & Pulp Fiction are legit?
Elvira isn't a rumor. It's happening.
Not sure on Pulp Fiction.
Quoted from Multiballmaniac1:I was thinking of getting the AC/DC premium vault. I am no longer interested. Those screws in the hell lower playfield look awful. Jmho
$2 at the hardware store would probably buy you some replacement black screws.
But... as is tradition, Pinside has to pout about something on new games.
Quoted from 85vett:It's not the color but the fact they are there as well as the associated boarder that was needed for the insert.
Any person of minimal intelligence would know the color could be changed.
Look at it this way. Go to your car. I'm now putting the hinge bolts for the door on the outside vs the inside. The bolts are colored to match you car. Still looks worse than a smooth door, right?
Before you belittle people's concerns think about them more holistically and it will be clearer.
Would've been nice for Stern to change out the hardware to be black, but it's not as simple is just "use black screws". It probably would've added 4-6 line items to the BOM. Those parts need to be sourced, received, inventoried, itemized, accounted for in their ERP system, stored, and placed in their assembly line. Having been involved in the engineering side of a manufacturing environment, this stuff usually is more involved than it looks on the surface.
And let's face it, ACDC isn't in the top tier for artwork. The screws can be an eyesore if you focus on them, but so can the rest of the game. It's not a Bugatti, it's a Ford.
