Quoted from musketd:

Hoping there is only one model and they get rid of the collectors edition and limited edition and only offer one version

Quoted from konghusker:

I'm struggling at the $8-9k price now to. I've done it twice with jjp. Now, jjp games are far superior quality, detail, and coding so I see the value compared to a Stern premium/le, but I just can't keep up. Of course I want them all and assuming both pirates and toy story are next, I'll want both. I'll have to start selling, and I don't have anything I'm ready to part with. I'm hoping the market remains for these high end machines, but I personally can't keep up. I was still considering a SW premium, but with all the qc problems and node board design, I'm really looking at jjp4 as one last game instead. Confidently Hoping it's epic.

Quoted from konghusker:

I agree 100%. Huo is definitely the best way to go. That said, people still have to buy nib to keep these companies going. I only buy a nib game that is a strong theme/game that my family will really want. I tend to not sell my games, so I buy long term. I would have definitely saved a few thousand total if I had bought my nib purchases used instead. Even then though, I personally can't keep up with huo prices even, and that's probably true for most people here. If I'm not willing to part with a game, then I'm stuck with where I'm at. Not a serious deal in the big picture, but jjp games new or used are still expensive. Beautiful kick ass games, but still expensive. Definitely waiting to see where the huo Di games price out at in next year or so.

Quoted from davijc02:

The lack of actual actors voices for these licensed themed pins is damn near criminal.

Quoted from Zampinator:

So true.
That is exactly why I spent $9000 on a Dialed In le & have a deposit on a POTC le, instead of $5500 or $7500 on a Star Wars.
The value in my mind was very clear. I'm getting way more value for my NIB $ on a JJP title, even though I'm spending more $.
At the $5500-$7500 price range, I'm buying HUO quality Stern's(LOTR, TSPP, IM, etc.) & Bally/Williams title's, not NIB Stern's, they are a joke.

Quoted from daudioguy:

It is just a little frustrating that no matter what I do it will be rejected because it is not the music from the film. I get it. I am a big fan of several of the Klaus Badelt music cues from the first movie.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

Exactly. I'm more concerned/curious on the direction Keefer takes the ruleset. He's a genius and I have no doubt he'll deliver something special; and i really look forward to seeing his stacking rules in this game. But, rewatching videos; it seems almost everyone was shooting the ball up the middle or onto the black pearl pf. It really made the game look limited in shots. Hoping Keith can spread out the shots nicely. Also, I like the black pearl mini pf, but I am concerned to how it feels in person - with every ramp shot feeding that pf, I hope it doesn't feel like TFLE or too monotonous. Wife really wants this pin. Overall, I think jjp has a real winner here.

Quoted from Eskaybee:

I definitely will need to play before I buy; but I’m a huge fan of WOZ. I owned it for a few months on finished code - it’s definitely a contender for my personal top 5 of all pins. I get surprised when I hear people don’t like it who have a lot of plays on it and the typical answer I get when I ask them why is that they had owned it on the early stages. So they never got to really see what this pin can do unfortunately.
