Quoted from CraZ4Pin:

For all the BS talk from Jack poking fun at Stern for having "plastic" toys ... I don't think they've improved on Stern one iota.

Well, realistically there's a limit to the amount and type of toys you can slap into a pin anyway. I used to think they were a big deal, but the more I play the more I realize they just interfere with flow. My favorite pin for toys is probably CV. The ringmaster, boom bumper, the ball all added to game play without being an annoyance. I never found the WOZ toys to be all that compelling.

Quoted from StevenP:

Stern has been using lots of generic off-the-shelf toys or really cheap-looking ones (like the "cannon" and TNT box in ACDC).

The quality of the toys themselves is better, but isn't how they integrate into gameplay more relevant? ST has the one ship but when it fires back at you it feels like you're fighting it. I don't get that type of vibe from the WOZ toys.
