After watching the premium stream, I finally think Stern has produced a title with enough mechs in it to justify some of the costs... compared to the $8300 I paid 2 years ago for a MBrLE, the premium at $9300 delivered with insider connect included is not that bad a deal. With all the stainless steel and habitrails, building collapse and bridge mechs, mecha godzilla, magna grab, rotating spinner, the machine seems packed. Now lets see the next one match this BoM and maybe Stern has realized they can build better machines at these new prices, as long as the price increases are not a frequent and continuing trend.
