I've played 2 different LCD backbox games and neither is more fun than the 40 other games I have at home.

Yes, they still are.

How many pins can the AVERAGE person fit in their home? 2 maybe 6?

Stern would quickly be out of business if they put all their eggs in the home market.

Half of all Stern's games go overseas.

Stern might never change over.

You guys keep buying Metallica, AC/DC, Star Trek, X-Men, Avengers......Gary says sales are up bigtime.

One game every 4 years from JJP is not going to pressure Stern into LCD.

My GF says that last Friday, Startrek was 15 people deep, Metallica was 4 deep and wedged between them was WOZ with no one playing (it was actually up and running, though).

I know many people who STILL don't have their fully paid WOZ yet.

What they plan and what gets done are often two very different things.

Star Trek was the Belle of the Ball Friday night.

People flock to the new and shiny (and Star Trek is VERY bright and shiny, it makes the other games around it look like mud).

Exactly.

If the Operators and collectors stopped buying 1000s of every title, then Stern would have to take action.

Right now Stern is sitting on a goldmine, and wait until you guys see the next title........

Those LED replacements are already available to replace plasma, as Europe does not allow those non RoHS displays.

Generally, people get smarter as time goes by.

I laughed when I saw it.

I love that campy kind of thing.

Yes, the audio is perfect for the theme.

But the main thing Star Trek is, is fun!

It's a Ritchie game, it's going to be fast.

So you should avoid Ritchie games, because his claim to fame is FAST.

But there are plenty of slow and slower games to choose from .

It's Pinball, something out there for everybody.

I say just go back to the sys6 displays.

I can see what ball I'm on at all times, and what my opponent's scores are at all times.

I really don't need any stupid animations or video modes at all when I play pinball.

Stern does not want to look like they are copying, following, or reacting to JJP.

Ain't gona happen any time soon.

It may never appear.

Or maybe Stern will wait a few years until the patent on P2000 expires and leapfrog over JJP.

Bally licensed the system to Stern so that they would have more operators familiar with it.

This gave them a little extra clout against Gotlieb and Williams.

Well, if Jack has a Patent pending on it, then you know Stern is never going to bother with it.

JJP might not have patented "LCD Backglass", but might have applied for a patent for just one part of the system that could keep Stern tied up in court for years.

Just like cell phones makers keep battling over touch screen menus .

Tell that to the cell phone people, LOL.

Don't feel like you are alone in that.

None of my clients or friends have got their WOZ that they paid for 3 years ago either.

If you shorten the legs for wheelchair use, it could be an easily recognized theme at American House.

JJP has been making regular WOZ to sell, rather than finishing the WOZLE that are paid for.

I understand that is the only way they can remain in business, but it still sucks for everyone waiting for their WOZLE.

Totally true.

I can right now go and buy a regular WOZ at the distributor, in stock.

My friends who paid for their WOZLE 3 years ago, have not received their games.
