Quoted from jimwe5t:Stern does things for solid engineering, safety and beneficial reasons.
But let's separate "solid engineering" and "beneficial reasons". One helps you, the consumer, and the value Stern may ultimately bring. The other is the exact opposite, as seen by many Sterns in the WWE/GB/AS era of production runs.
Here is a WWE I passed on buying a month or so ago. Do I want to buy a game with torn decals and a weekend long project to properly reinforce? The GB I saw in a new location the other day was so bad, it's on a wheely cart... all because Stern wanted to save $2 in brackets in their BoM. Is that solid engineering or beneficial reasons? B/C at times they're 100% mutually exclusive.
