Honestly, there's as much on this playfield with just as nice art as many other modern games have, for a (relatively) cheaper price. There must be a market demand for the Pin series if they're still making new ones, and this is definitely the best looking to date.

No doubt they'll be reskinning this one for years.

Can't help thinking that since Stern has the collector's market share and distribution network fully secure, the big motive for putting this out is less about shifting units and more about trying to stick a fork into the smaller companies by making *their* pins look overpriced.

Was MDF with a plastic overlay ever considered for the exercise?
