    Gary Stern is a greedy bastard, and that comment proves it. Since spike, constant cost cutting and personal spike failures with tech support telling me I’m SOL, I have bought ZERO nib sterns in the last year and a half, where before I nearly bought everything that came out nib.

    They make plenty on pros or they wouldn’t be making them. Go play your gold plated violin elsewhere, Gary.

    Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

    Regarding your "cost cutting" remark, how do you explain that BK Pro has full RGB LED insert lighting, spinners, drop targets, metal ramp, interactive toy with great detail, killer hand drawn art, killer custom soundtrack, killer animations, etc? Not to mention they put the service rails back on the Pro, upgraded to beefy corner brackets, and changed some cabinet mdf for plywood? I just bought one from the show for a smidge over $5k with a full warranty. Nearing 2k plays already and not a single issue. Direct me to a better buy anywhere on a new pin.
    I'm tired of all the Stern bashing that's not based in reality.

    You’re pumping things that should already be, and were, before the great cash grab of 2011 and beyond.
    Don’t forget, you’re getting spike for that money too (rolls eyes)

    Quoted from FalconDriver:

    Stern just says what they want and claim they are king of the mountain by doing just this.

    Gary Stern should be thanking Automated Services for ordering 75 NIB Spidermans to “keep their lights on”

    They should be thanking people like coder Keith Johnson for the sudden interest in their games after Lotr and Tspp.

    They should be thanking the countless number of ignorant and naive collectors and players (myself included) for continuing to pay their price increases all while creating unnecessary different level tiers, stripping down games to charge for “pros” which used to be “premium” when they were begging for anyone to stick a quarter in their coin slots.

    I’m not mad. I’m over it.
