ACDC - Stern

[Q]

Ik ben ondertussen over de eerste schok heen... Had gewoon iets totaal anders verwacht, vandaar allicht...

Ja, misschien... Er zit inderdaad wel wat potentieel in... In de LE toch... 't Is dat de muziek echt wel veel gaat doen he...

Misschien als ik straks den Euromillions win

WoW ... Wat een ongelooflijke superkast !!!

[Pascal]

die 12 songs achteraan in de juke box, zijn dat allemaal modes?

[g94]

Volgens de beschrijving hier:

>> Back Panel Jukebox 12 Song Selector w/ Flashing Horns

zou je denken dat je misschien gewoon liedjes kan afspelen?

[Pascal]

ik had ergens iets gelezen over een "whole lotta rosie" mode

[Q]

Vergeet je niet even te braken over die kast ?

[Avatar]

Voor de MOD'ders die niet tevreden zijn over het kanon ... Ontwerp en maak er zelf 1 en verkoop ze aan iedereen die geïnteresseerd is ...

PS: 't is geen 3D-printer maar een CNC

[jjj080]

Vergeet je niet even te braken over die kast ?

braken doen wij enkel als die engelse pinten beginnen over te lopen...

kwestie om er daarna ng wa bij te krijgen

[diesel64]

Hier zie, omdat iedereen het zo mooi vind. In het groot!

[jay-jay]

heeft die hier een "koortslip "ofzo

[gunther]

Teveel botux volgens mij...

[Q]

BRAAK-SMILEY !!!!!

[Avatar]

Nog een geluk dat die vervangen wordt door een plexi ... maar verder een TOPkast

[Pascal]

ja maar dit wordt dan wel het artwork voor het mini speelvled

[David Pinball Wizz]

Een reden te meer om dat minispeelveld nooit te kuisen dan

je kan er toch al moeilijker aan waarschijnlijk dus komt nog goed uit

[David Pinball Wizz]

Dit ziet er al beter uit hé..

[Q]

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik die kast toch met de dag er beter uitzien vind... Het begint licht te kriebelen...

[diesel64]

Inderdaad, ik vond de kast van in het begin al niet zo heel lelijk. Sommige dingen moet je gewoon gewend worden.

Ik kijk wel uit naar de Premium.

[Pascal]

het enige wat ik heel erg klote vind aan die kast is de kostprijs.
in het verleden vond ik het verschil tussen een pro en een LE verwaarloosbaar, maar ik vrees dat het bij den ACDC niet zo zal zijn en dat een pro echt een pak minder gaat zijn dan de premium/LE, ik denk maar aan het minispeelveld, de bewegende bel met magneet en kicker. de extra habitrail, tunnel, bewegnde tnt dinges enzo zijn enigsinds te verwaarlozen...

maar wat gaat zo'n premium kosten? 6300 a 6500 euro? in belgisch geld is dat een kwart miljoen hé!!! voor een flipperke !!!

[Avatar]

Ik heb nog met goedkopere auto's rond gereden ...

[diesel64]

I second that. Overlaatst zo eentje gekocht voor in het veld rond te touren:



Wel niet nieuw natuurlijk, maar wel goedkoper dan een nieuwe Stern.

En er staat geen lelijke kop op.

Maar... dit geheel terzijde en opnieuw on topic...

zei dien met een BBB

De official statement van Gary :


Dear Ladies & Gentlemen,

At this time I can confirm what you have suspected: Yes, our next
pinball machine is AC/DC.

Stern Pinball's design team, led by the King of Pinball, Steve
Ritchie, with programming creativity provided by the legendary Lyman
Sheats, worked tirelessly to create a pinball experience worthy of the
AC/DC and Stern Pinball monikers.

You all know that AC/DC is one of the most popular bands in the
history of music. Brothers Angus and Malcolm Young formed the band in
Australia in 1973. Since then, AC/DC has toured worldwide virtually
non-stop and sold more than 200 million albums, including 130 million
albums in our export markets. Their iconic album, Back in Black, is
the second highest selling album in history. The band's recent
worldwide Black Ice tour was the highest grossing tour in 2010. The
band is currently planning another worldwide tour with the goal of
surpassing the phenomenal success of its recent Black Ice tour. See
http://www.acdc.com

The highly anticipated AC/DC pinball game features:

12 COMPLETE iconic AC/DC songs:
Back in Black
You Shook Me All Night Long
Highway to Hell
For Those About to Rock
T.N.T.
Hells Bells
Thunderstruck
Let There Be Rock
Rock N Roll Train
Hell Ain't a Bad Place To Be
Whole Lotta Rosie
War Machine

An incredible new sound cross over network and added memory that makes
this game the best sounding pinball game in history.

Outstanding game play from Steve Ritchie, the widely acclaimed master
of game flow and shots.

A playfield packed with features representing AD/DC icons including:
For Those About To Rock Cannon
Hells Bell target
Rock N Roll Train
T.N.T Detonator
The Highway To Hell
Devil's Juke Box song selector
Hell Mini Playfield on Premium and LE Models
Drop targets galore on Premium and LE Models

A ground-breaking rule set from the creative mind of Lyman Sheats,
that enables players to:
Choose FULL songs they like to hear
Choose rules they like to play
Choose areas of the playfield they like to play
Pursue a nearly infinite number of scoring strategies
Stack and overlap three multi-ball modes (Jam, Album and Tour)

An outstanding art package from the incomparable John Youssi.

AC/DC Pinball will be available in four models with different features
and price points:

Pro Coin-Op model, with game play for all levels of player and priced
for the game operator.
Two Limited Editions, full-featured and with added decoration, desired
by pinball collectors and enthusiasts:
Back in Black LE ("Black LE" for short); production limited to 300
machines
Let There Be Rock LE ("Rock LE" for short); production limited to 200
machines
New Premium model, with most of the features of the LE's but less
added decoration, designed for customers and players seeking the game
play of an LE model at a somewhat lower price. Like the Pro,
production of the Premium is unlimited.
Attached is a Features Matrix outlining those features associated with
each of the four models along with Photographs of AC/DC Pro. We will
provide pictures of the LE and Premium models as available.

The Pro price in U.S. dollars, fob our factory, remains unchanged from
our last model, at both the Elite and List wholesale levels. We will
contact you about pricing of LE and Premium models.

AC/DC Pinball is timed perfectly for the spring selling season.
Production of AC/DC Pro will begin in the middle of January starting
with export games and some domestic samples. Premium and LE production
will be about a month later, followed with more Pro games for our
domestic and export markets.

Please consider your opening AC/DC orders. We will also be making many
of our other recent models, so consider these also. We look forward to
speaking with you shortly.

Together we will make AC/DC Pinball a great success for you and for
Stern Pinball.

Best regards,

Gary

****
I will also add the custom speech is by Steve himself playing the
devil taunting the player.
The lower hell playfield in lit red when activated, easy 4 mounting
bolts hold it for ease of removal and cleaning.
The back right panel has the band members in motion animated to sync
with the music, drummer drums, Angus does the duck walk....etc.
Back in Black strobes....think AFM strobe MB
3rd ramp habitrail from left to right to the cannon.
4 different GI sections with color changing LED's in code.
Lower playfield is traditional with flippers closest to the player
(not like HH or BH) standard size 1 1/16 ball with shorty flips.
The LE rails have AC/DC logo and cannons laser cut in them.


No doubt the Premium or LE both will be a stellar game. Remember
folks the LE has no restrictions of build of materials and the full
featured game was designed first as Steve envisioned it. It will
deliver.

The Pro is selling like crazy overseas on preorders which ship first.
The London show is Jan 24th so we will see footage from Martin of
Pinball News I assume. http://www.eagexpo.com/

Hopefully an LE as well.
