    So torn on this one. Jaws is my all time favorite film. But I just can't stand Stern quality right now. If it was JJP, I would at least know that it would be filled to the brim with mechs and features. Instead, I know it will be a trimmed down version of what it could have been. My plan right now is to sit tight, see what happens and buy a used dimpled one down the road.

    Jaws is my all time favorite movie. It would be an instant buy if from any other company. If treated like Jurassic Park, I don't think I would buy it. For any Jaws fan, we know that what made Jaws great wasn't the shark. It was the characters and their interactions brought about by some truly great actors, great script, and director. It was forced to be a different movie because the darn shark mech wouldn't work. And that challenge turned a B horror concept into an all time great film. Sorry, but Stern would turn an A title into a B game.

    Quoted from DBLM:

    I do think you can take the thematic elements from the movie and create a great and exciting pin set in the Jaws world.

    Umm...that experiment was tried, they were called Jaws 3 and 4. Roy Scheider's return makes Jaws 2 legit. But 3 and 4 are in a "Jaws universe". You could also call every other shark attack movie a "Jaws Universe" film.
