Stern=Sega=Data East, there all the same to me but more technology through the years and cost cutting here and there it seems. My experience with Stern in my short time buying games has been great and shitty at same time. Buy a NIB that stuff doesnt work right on so they send new parts no questions, ghosted playfield ok they send another one, cracked plastics they send a complete set, ghosted replacement playfield who knows what there going to do.

Do i want them to go belly up NO, do i want them to stop being shaddy in some situations Yes. Prices are less important to me then the games actually working correctly and not falling apart with in 50 plays like they do now. im in this hobby for pure FUN not to sell my games at what i pay for them so Stern please stay in business but fire the assholes running QC!
