Stern, 2017Quoted from cooked71:Cant tell if this is a joke? That's one photo of the Premium/LE with hands and one photo of the Pro without hands.
Keep it up Koz, you are driving RH crazy! Somebody will come with a mod to make the hands move. 
Meanwhile, you have to listen to RH, "he knows because he knows".
Quoted from tbanthony:Humor. This game needs quirky humor like the movie. Hope the guys at Stern got that element right.
I hope so do. However, that will depend on if Stern has the rights to use original actor audio. Without it pulling off humor will be difficult. I think JJP will encounter the same issue with not being able to use actor voice lines from the Pirate films.
Both Guardians of the Galaxy and Pirates of the Caribbean are Disney owned themes so it will be interesting to see if both pins lack character audio for if one has it while the other doesn't.
I think if you preorder the LE, the hands definitely move. I'm almost 100% positive, that they curl up and make a fist, and punch you in the crotch for being an idiot.

Is that before or after they give you a hand job?

Star Wars is also a Disney owned property, and it’s packed with original character audio. It’s all just a question of how much the licensee is willing to pay and what agreements they have with the actors. In the case of GOTG, most of the actors weren’t big names when the first movie was released (unlike Johnny Depp), so I can’t imagine they retained much in the way of rights.

Quoted from PW79:Do the arms move?
Sure they do, don't you see the double piece plastic? Has to move right? 
Quoted from iceman44:Is that before or after they give you a hand job?
Mind the splinters.
Quoted from iceman44:Is that before or after they give you a hand job?
the punch in the crotch is the hand job. Everyone who preorders something they havn't played, should be used to this kind of foreplay.

Disney actually owns marvel
Quoted from iceman44:Sure they do, don't you see the double piece plastic? Has to move right?
I see it now. Right next to the 3rd ramp & 3rd flipper
Someone said Dan Akroyd was doing the call outs.
10x’s the innovation too
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:This!
It might look slightly gold in that pic I posted but it's orange. Blue/Orange would have been a great color scheme I think for the Armor. Maybe something for me to do if I actually pick up this game.
I'm getting a Pro, and I was thinking the exact same thing.
Quoted from Potatoloco:I was wondering if anyone would actually correct me. Found an actual Guardians fan.
No worries. 
I have studied the Milano a lot in the past couple years. IMHO, it is one of the best, most unique starship designs to come out in the past decade or so. Its silhouette is instantly recognizable, and absolutely beautiful. I have all 3 of the Lego versions....

Quoted from Stones:I look forward to hearing the Groot call out for multiball.
Spoiler alert..
The call out for mutiball will go like this..
“I am Groot”
Quoted from Concretehardt:Spoiler alert..
The call out for mutiball will go like this..
“I am Groot”
NO "WE ARE GROOT"

76081, 30449, 76021 all sitting on my display shelf 
Here's hoping for a Howard the Duck mod
Quoted from bobukcat:Man, Taser-face really got screwed, I don't see him on there at all!
I want the outlane drain sound to just be 'TAYYYYYY-ZEEEEEEER-FACEEEEE!'

I really like the premium edition features except for the hands.
This is one of those things that Stern does because they feel like need to add extra stuff to the premium, sometimes it’s not great. Like moving ramp on XMLE or bicycle girl ramp on TWD or hammer on MET.
Some people prefer the pro version because it has less clutter, if only Stern didn’t gimp the pro by removing spinners on Met and TWD and now GOTG.
This pin looks great and sure it’ll be fun.
I’d hope it’ll have movie clips and direct quotes from the movie like ST and Tron and IM and SM all had.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I think if you preorder the LE, the hands definitely move. I'm almost 100% positive, that they curl up and make a fist, and punch you in the crotch for being an idiot.
Okay, that is the funniest thing I've read in a long time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad it’s only from the first movie. Was really hoping for “Mantis, look out!”two seconds after you drain.
Quoted from pipes:Love the game so far but not sure how long I can deal with all these "I am Groot" / "We are Groot" posts. That's getting old pretty quick.
Imagine that is the only call-out that Groot makes 
Quoted from ronaldvg:Imagine that is the only call-out that Groot makes
I can see myself lighting that Groot head on fire at some point for sure.
Quoted from pipes:I can see myself lighting that Groot head on fire at some point for sure.
Better burn the speakers LOL
I hope Rocket soundalike interprets the I am Groot inflections like in the movie. THat would be cool.

"I am Groot" "Yeah buddy, I'm pretty sure they know they should shoot the left ramp right now"
"I am Groot" "Shoot the scoop? Are you serious?"
Quoted from pipes:Love the game so far but not sure how long I can deal with all these "I am Groot" / "We are Groot" posts. That's getting old pretty quick.
We are Groot. Except for pipes. pipes must be Kree. j/k
How in God's name does Stern think it's okay to remove spinners??? That's a basic - relatively inexpensive - game feature that people love. BASIC!!!!
You've gotta be kidding me.
That company is pitifully shameless. I'd love to hear their rationale publicly spilled. It's obvious its their way of forcing folks to buy the more expensive model... but, geesh, it's almost childish.
Quoted from Wolfmarsh:We are Groot. Except for pipes. pipes must be Kree. j/k
lol, I'm good with that 
I bought TWD PRO without the spinners. Would I have loved to have the spinners? Sure, but it wasn't worth the extra cost to me.
I'm never thinking about resale when I buy a game. I couldn't care less.

It’s just a ploy to persuade people on the fence to choose the upper trim level.
Quoted from luvthatapex2:Would I have loved to have the spinners?
This is my point. Spinners aren't a premium feature. They're a basic game feature that have been on games for decades. What's next, the spring on the plunger? It's utterly ridiculous that they strip very basic features from a game... especially when they integrate with scoring. TWD is a great example.

I only want a spinner if it actually is used in the gameplay. TWD’s are meaningless outside of a couple switch modes. METs same thing. They are cool to hit, but unless they are actually a feature in the rules, there’s plenty of other stuff to do.
Take the spinners out of big game or Grand Prix or blackout firepower or any of those other games where spinners are the main focus, yeah I’m gonna be pissed.
But unless the spinners are used a lot and make me want to shoot them outside of it’s just cool to watch them spin, I don’t care if they are in the game.
I never understood the fascination with spinners. The paddle spins, big deal. I'm more interested in making the shot than how many spinner hits I'm up to. Clearly, I'm not the norm on this, but I really don't care if they're on the game or not.
Does seem cheap though that they'd be on the Prem/LE and not the Pro. Maybe if enough people complain (and don't buy the Pro) STERN will add them.
Side note, maybe they can be added after the fact like MET (assuming the switch logic and code info is there on the Pro...).
Quoted from Mahoyvan:I like most spinner sound effects, specially when you rip a good one.
I love ripping a good one.
My wife, on the other hand, not a big fan.

I feel the same way. I don't particularly care for them but it bothers me that they remove them from the Pro.

Spinners should NEVER be removed from pro models. It creates more fractured rule sets for the programmers and they are less likely to program anything significant for the spinners then.

Quoted from rai:It’s just a ploy to persuade people on the fence to choose the upper trim level.
My god. He’s right!
Stern have been engaging in a sick, nefarious plot to offer more features for MORE MONEY.
And all this time. Right under our noses!!!!

Is that what happened with other games where they were pulled out?; were they more or less neutered for the Premium/LE as a result?
