i'm a pinball noob who owns 4 machines. I'll buy STrek and Metallica LE's because generally speaking, Stern gets it right (although Avengers had quality issues IMHO)....and if Jack gets it right, I'll buy his too.
I could care less if it comes out next week or next month...just get it right.
2 legit pinball co's will be good for everybody. Frankly, I'm pulling for Predator too....but JUST GET IT RIGHT.
