Not gonna lie, all this Stern bashing has me 2nd guessing whether to put my order in for a Star Wars Pro. On one hand, there is no other competition in the $5k range, but on the other hand, now I'm wondering if I'm getting ripped off, and not getting my money's worth, the way some people are making it out to be.

Quoted from taz:

I didn't need this thread to change my mind about buying SW.

Not just this thread. Damn near every thread on Pinside since last night.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Have you played it? To me (and obviously only my opinion), it just felt... disconnected. Somebody posted in another thread it was like playing a random pin with Star Wars on the tv playing in the other room.

I actually enjoyed my time playing it on location. Did the playfield feel bare? Yeah, I'll admit to that. Disconnected? Nah I didn't see it that way. But then again, it's the dream theme to me. Had this been a theme I cared less about, maybe I'd be less torn. At the end of the day, my 40 plays into it have been super fun.

Quoted from spazzman90:

shouldn't be too bad if you can snag one for as close to $5 as possible.

Yeah, bottom line, I don't want to be taken for a sucker. I can't throw $5k around whenever I want on games. It's a big purchase for me. Decisions decisions.

Anyways, didn't mean to hijack the thread. Carry-on folks...

Quoted from NeilMcRae:

I can’t help wonder if the whole JT thing scuppered what Stern wanted to do at expo and they killed the project he was working on - if that turns out to be true then hats off to Stern, they did plan to talk about a game the Chris was working on. Or maybe after the no flippin batman they decided to listen and only announce a game when it’s ready. Batman’66 has been bad for Stern sadly.
JJP though still have challenges on volume build to overcome. But POTC is the first game I’ve been interested in.
Neil

I was actually thinking the same thing.

Quoted from GotAQuestion:

Honestly I'd take TNA over most recent Sterns. Of course there are notable exceptions (Tron, Spider Man VE, I own a boutique-ized Metallica) but a lot of companies are making it look like Stern isn't even trying right now.

Yeah, TNA was a no-brainer for me at that price. While simple at heart, the whole thing just looks and feels well thought-out, and put together with great meticulous care. I put my deposit down already.

Quoted from mrgone:

Nope, they are at the pinball life party.

Surprisingly, someone posted pics on Facebook of a TNA being setup at Expo.
