My wife and I have NIB fatigue. We have 10 NIB games (deadpool LE and Iron Maiden Premium were most recent). We are blessed to be able to afford these games, but nothing at the Texas Pinball Festival excited us enough to buy another. Munster's was interesting as was Pirates of the Caribbean. I thought Stern cheaped out by simplifying the drop targets on Munsters with a single wide target, for example; this seemed to be penny wise but pound foolish.

My wife always wants something new after these shows (me too) but not this year. We have enough variety that our expectations are higher as is our experience as to what to expect in terms of rules, design and art. Stern also has to finish the code on games like GB before I consider another, we know better now than when we were new to the hobby. JJP also seemed to take a step back with the new Yellow brick rode WOZ. We have a Dialed in CE so we can splurge on extra bling, but taking out a major feature seems counter intuitive.

We expect more innovation not less in our next purchase. Perhaps we are not representative of the typical new pinball machine buyer...
