    Pricing has me pretty annoyed and discouraged - I'm not paying $10k for any Stern Premium - period. They're close to pricing me out of Pros, and I'm getting sick of literally every mech being stripped out of them every time, too.

    Not so much theme, but I'll only be buying truly special games that really click with design, rules, gameplay, and aren't just a run of the mill game. Like GZ for example. And that will require selling one of my current three machines. I'm on a one-in, one-out scenario now.

    I'm sure Stern is just crying all the way to the bank about pricing me out.

    Anyway, your poll didn't have a great option for me - waiting for used games was the closest fit I guess - but the asking price for used games has turned me off on those too. Might as well buy new, if you can find one. But I'm going to be super selective in getting anything at all.
