    Quoted from PanzerFreak:

    Some of the super Stern Army members react like this if you bring up any quality issues...

    I’m convinced some of these guys are paid by both sides, Stern and JJP.

    Quoted from snaroff:

    Actually, just the opposite. Stern cares much more about cranking them out than "fault free". I've been a NIB customer since 2004 (LOTR & TSPP). I can say from experience over 2 decades that Stern's quality has steadily declined over the years. I still have my LOTR...the quality is stunning...has had more plays than my entire collection combined x10 and still looks better than some of my newer games. One switch replaced in 16 years.

    Stern churns out a lot of crap these days. I can attest to that.
    The older machines that you reference are exceedingly well built in comparison.

    Ssshhh! ..Don’t tell that to my games...[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]

    You’ve been fortunate as have I. However, make no mistake, Stern allows plenty of crap to escape their factory.

    When did Trent surpass Automated?

    LOL, he didn’t.
