I'm done with them. And I still have my Xmen LE and hope they get it done someday. I pulled out of Star Trek over this, but am glad I went with AC/DC....and it will probably be my last NIB Stern. As new remakes and JJP games come out I will switch up to those and sell off my Stern games to make room. I'll probably keep AC/DC though.

Quoted from flashinstinct:

Instead of just posting here why not post on their twitter account @sternpinballinc and do a hash tag #fixyourcode or #finishyourcode

Because I don't do twitter, facebook etc....

Quoted from Rcade:

Yeah. I feel like the scenario Indypin talks about has only recently happened with ACDC LEs. TRON LE's will also start taking a hit with the pro ramp mods now. The only thing missing is DPMB, and that's now enough to get me to cough up the extra $$ for an LE. With ACDC I really am baffled as to why LEs still sell for what they sell for, as that one is purely cosmetic. The premiums play the same and are fantastic at 4k less.
And to that point, the current process is simple....
-WAIT to play a new title in person. Enjoy the initial excitement when the game is announced, get into it and speculate, whatever you want, it's fun! But wait to play it before you order.
-if you miss an LE, you can grab a premium down the line, and still be confident that you like the product IN ITS CURRENT STATE code wise.
-ACDC LE went up in price
-XMLE went down in a big bad way
-TAV went down
-METLE went up shortly, but the premiums are awesome, so the METLE prices aren't out of control and are normalizing.
-ST we will wait and see, but I wouldn't think it would have a crazy appreciation....there's 700 of them!!
Ultimately, the market will dictate what you can sell for, so what do I know :/

The prices you are seeing for the AC/DC LE's are simply the prices being asked. If you notice you will see it is the same person(s) asking the same high prices for the same game and being advertised everywhere for quite awhile now. They are not selling for that price. Its kinda like the $24,000 MM on Ebay....

Its pretty obvious that Stern is treating Xmen LE the same way as they treated WOF.....they will just ingnore it long enough and we will go away. Yup...we will. And we will go to other manufacturers that care about the future of their company. Stern is in the middle of a big shitstorm that they just do not seem to believe exists.

Does anyone with a business background have an estimation of how long it will take the beancounters to figure out they have a problem that needs to be addressed? Its pretty obvious that their future sales numbers are in for a severe downturn.

But will they realize why or simply blow it off as more competition from new manufacturers without addressing the problems/complaints they have from their customers?

#237 10 years ago

Yea...thats me allright. I really love the game and the toys on it. But being that Stern actually listed a "danger room" mode on the game card that I have heard does not exist could that be a potential legal liability? Obviously I have not gotten far enough into the game to find out if it is there, but other posts have indicated it does not exist.

Quoted from Rcade:

Danger mode exists and has in full capacity since a couple updates ago. Dark Pheonix animations were finished and implemented with the most recent update, but the rules therein are the "Lonnie Special" currently. The last Wizard mode in XM is all text at the moment though.
Deadpool mode, although not on the card, has been an option in the adjustments menu since day one, and still doesn't exist, heck, there's only ONE sound call out that is possibly Deadpool in the game code current.y, but nothing other than that.

Thanks for the clarification. I really hope they finish this code. Its a great game and it would be a shame to see it fall by the wayside over code issues. It just does not look good at this time however unless Stern changes their business plan.
