I think Bond 60th SLE made talking about TS4 a moot thing. I seriously think anyone who bought TS4 and passed on Bond 60th made the best decision. I really was down on TS4 until seeing that, and the real winner in my book is the guy who bought TS4 and a Premium GG Bond and passed on the flatwood.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

Yeah I get those points. Regarding the theme once you are playing the game it feels like a generic Toy Story game versus just Toy Story 4, I still wish the first 3 films were incorporated with movie callouts from those. The custom Tim Allen and Annie Pots callouts help it feel more just about Toy Story in general.
High price? Yeah it is. I could sit here and say that Stern LE's are now $13k and typically come with less overall but there's really no point at these insane prices. The value argument is gone. The CE though does look beautiful though, one of the nicest pins I've seen in person with the extra features and substantial topper. There's still some NIB CE's out there at around $13k, that's probably the best "value" for a newer game with everything it comes with.
As for the code simplicity I would say Toy Story 4 has good depth and a more approachable objective based ruletset. I own some other deep JJP pins (Hobbit and WOZ) and find Toy Story 4's ruleset to offer plenty to do, just check out the rules diagram. I like that there's these 7 objectives, that can be done in any order, to attempt the wizard mode and then there's two paths within the wizard mode itself which also has multiple stages. I'm a decent player and have only lit I think 3 of the 7 mode inserts (I do have ball save turned off). Besides that there's still I think 6 multiballs and 11 carnival modes. The carnival modes and character multiball interact with each other in a way to add a good amount of depth as well. Plus there's the whole wheel award system and the objectives from that.
Hopefully JJP does add some more code though, as Zach from SDTM said it's an "easy" way to increase sales and value. Same goes for nearly every game.

You are completely obsessed Freak buddy. Do you ever give your mind a rest from promoting TS4? Over and over you never stop, lol. Do yourself a favor in 2023 and take a long break. Your TS4 will still be there and most of us will still know it’s an extremely overpriced game about toys that has no toys in it, with quite shallow code to boot. Relax Freak, just kick back and enjoy your game.

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

I think it boils down to 3 things
- It's only Toy Story 4
- High Price
- Simplicity of code

hot take!

Glad I never saw the comment but I have a few good guesses of who it could be lol. It's not worth the time arguing with some people.

It looks like another new pin is going to leverage a pop up post as a mech Hopefully Kaneda and others who bashed the Benson pop up posts don't call this one a mech, or toy lol.

it needs a clever name like Benson posts

I suggest the Fo-bar. Better name than deadpost

It's a cool implementation in FF, but not a toy/mech in my book
