Stern games are fairly reliable but they have had to cut costs massively over the last few years and so it is inevitable that there is a cheaper look to them. How can there not be? They cannot screen print cabinets, add extra clear, thicker playfields, metal wireforms etc etc.
I spoke to George Gomez about adding metal ramps. He said he would love to but they are just so much more expensive than plastic. It is the way it is.
Once you accept this, it is easier. Yes, it bothers me at the moment but they are still the only game in town.......not for long though.
If anyone thinks I am knocking, I am not, it is just how I see it.
I am about to buy my first Stern NIB and I just need to accept that there are things I would like to be different but it ain't going to happen!!!
