LOL, I'm aware of it but I've not really been paying attention, but you are right, it does feel like it's been going on for ages.

Can’t see any new games coming to the uk anytime soon with the dollar at 1.20 probably tip a premium up to close to 10k looks like rick and Morty going to be going up too a fair bit
I'm only following the Facebook vote. Results for first round:
I predict semi's will be LOTR vs ACDC, JP vs IMDN, with LOTR beating JP in the final.
Not bad - only one wrong guess!
For the next round I reckon it'll be...
LOTR vs TWD
JP vs Met
AC/DC vs SM
DP vs IMDN
We should find out around September 2021!
Feels more of Stern SLOWdown than a Showdown. Running at a snails pace!
Even Brexit was quicker

I'm kinda glad JP2 got knocked out as sadly I thought that would win it. Well done to Metallica many thousands of fans who clicked 
I have now got TWD and it’s miles better than LOtR’s, especially as the flippers haven’t burnt out yet
Maiden should win it but LOTR and MET have cult like followings so who knows.
I wouldn’t put money on it to be honest, never played LOTR.
I’m thinking.....
After watching for the 1st time last night on Amazon Prime - Special when Lit - the competitiveness of Elwin and Sheats..... I wouldn’t put it past them to have all their fan base doing the voting on IMDN + MET

It was close but LOTR has beaten MET to the final....
IMDN so far is ahead of ACDC

Weird I voted last night and Metallica was way ahead of LOTR.
^^^^I’m not a conspiracy theorist but maybe someone didn’t want the rock pins to cakewalk the competition?
Metallica is a way better game than Lord of the Rings and Iron Maiden is better than both. Which means almost certainly LOTR will win
they're both great games - i reckon LOTR would've got the nostalgia vote though. It was leagues ahead of anything when it was released.
Fast forward 17yrs and i'd pick MET over LOTR (which i recently did in practise).

On FB - even Stern was posting gifs of LOTR in the voting section......
I reckon every middle earth enthusiast site had a link shared.
I’m not completely innocent
.....
Last night when I seen how close it was - I joined the biggest Metallica fan site and shared the voting link.
It was doing really well until the admins pulled it. I then sent them a PM to reinstate it but they ignored me -

Lotr might not win on shots & layout, but it certainly wins on theme imo. The sound package is also great (that super jackpot...), and of course the rules are really solid.
The rock/metal themes just don't do anything for me personally, and I suspect for many of the voters too. The only band in there that I would ever listen to is AC/DC.

If you change the speakers out the sound is fantastic on LOTR. Stock speakers it sounds like some trying to shout for help whilst being kidnapped!

I was wondering about that, somebody spent a fortune modding mine but it has stock speakers. It does sound crap. Good to know
I hear it’s Wacky racers - old Hannah barbera cartoon Theme 
I run a football site and this happens with almost every poll. Once the partisan vote is mobilised it's completely warps the competition.. . .basically Man U win every vote be it food, parking, transport links or ticket value.
As for the pins I've only played one of the four but I'm sure it's the best
Why is pinball so rock music heavy? Why no Carpenters, Abba or Chesney Hawkes machine?
Shame most of them have never been....
Good question, maybe something to do with the fast pace action of the silver ball flying around and being more suited?
Or
The top brass at Stern love Rock and design what is likely to sell?
I would hazard a guess most retro bands would love to have a pin designed in their honour.
I don't think an Enya themed machine would sell quite as well. It might have more [Orinoco] flow though.
"this week!" is fast approaching its first birthday
