All this talk about 40 pounds less than pre-spike games.
Transformer was removed, a lot of extra wire is no longer necessary and the BB was changed from wood to aluminum. This easily equates to 40 pounds. Can we put that topic to rest now and move on to the real problem of cabinet separation?
Quoted from PinMonk:You're missing the point. If you are struggling to get $8000 together, it's NOT "only 1k more" because it's not possible or very difficult to make that additional leap. So if you are thinking "only 1k more" you can afford 1k more. Different circumstances.
BTW, I only paid 9k flat, delivered, but I preordered at reveal.
I think what they are saying is their aren't going to be to many people that are "struggling to get $8K together" that should be buying an $8K machine that can't easily add another $1K to a purchase. If you are spending that much money on a pinball machine you should readily have $8K laying around and for those people another $1K is like asking if they want to supersize their Big mac meal.
Quoted from PinMonk:Again, you haven't PLAYED the GAME. I've played it (repeatedly) and every modern Stern pin except maybe Rolling Stones (is that modern Stern? Seems like the end of their crappier era). Literally nothing compares to the experience with Dialed In. It's in a class by itself. You may not like the THEME, but as a pin with features, polish and build quality taken together, nothing touches it.
Not to defend anyone or take sides but I've played DI several times and quite frankly it bores me. Not saying it is a bad game but diffidently different strokes for different folks. If DI and GBLE or ASLE were the same price and I could afford one I would buy GB or AS. Knowing the price different it would make it easy but both JJP and Stern have now priced me out of NIB as I don't find the value in games of that cost anymore. I bought GOTLE and absolutely love it but that is when I started to realize that these things aren't worth the cost anymore, to me.
Quoted from rubberducks:Pretty sure the LEs and Pros are exactly the same low quality ply and joinery. It's the decals that differ on the cab.
So pray to spaghetti monster for beneficence.
Actually on the most recent titles the LE's were getting extra reinforcement at the top. Don't know if GOTG was this way but I recall seeing it on the Star Wars games. It may have also been on the Prem's as well.
