Star Trek LE - Disappointed in the 1701 toy

Quoted from rotordave:
Yeah I have 90 ... Back in the day I was buying a lot of my games for $1000 each. The STLE is $13,500 NZ dollars so I got 13.5 pins for the same price.
I made a stance that I wasn't going to pay $13,500 nzd for a pinball machine so I haven't. I made my point strongly with the NZ distributors and hopefully they got the message. The Premium is now being quoted $1000 nzd less than it was before.
I've never dissed the game though, it's ok. I'm just not going to pay $13,500 bucks for one.
One day I may get a pro, Premium or even a used LE from the states and ship it in. Time will tell.
are.

KUDOS to you. I have also made a stance in that regard. Only way prices are going to come back down, is if we stop buying and they figure out they have gouged to much.

Good to see someone else has worked it out, Neo

If there were 700 STLE sitting at distributors, unsold ... The price would come down.

Instead, people can't help themselves and go and buy them. In case they miss out or something. Maybe they were neglected as children? I dunno.

Don't buy ... Send a message that the price is too high.

Do buy ... Send a message "I'm happy with these prices, feel free to try another price increase and see how it goes"

And WTF is that supposed to mean? I just received my WOZ and it's an awesome game unlike the POSs that Stern is cranking out. Let them put out a game that is anywhere near as good and I might step up. I took the chance on X-Men and sold the turd within 2 weeks. The future Is Jack and PPB not Stern.

Oh god. I love JJ too, but. This is ridiculous. they both have their place.

I do see what you are saying, though. You have to admit, however, that the siderails are pretty great, and backglass is top notch.

What does it say, then, when they put so much effort into the lighting and decoration and so little on the playfield? Two foil balls and a $20 model? There's just not much there for so much money.

Right, I agree, but your not buying the BOM, you are buying the L in STLE for that extra cash.

Hey Zitt you're a douchebag, this might be the worst posting I've ever read on Pinside and might be the last one I read. WOW I can see not being overwhelmed by ST LE but to go so far as to make it out like it's a bad game is just foolish. Now to wanker #2 zr11990 take you're WOZ and you know what you can do with it. Yellow brick road, come on man. ST LE is awesome, end of story.

Quoted from Zitt:
by the lame "Enterprise" that they so boasted about.
Yeah; it has LEDs... but could they not make the ship a little more realistic?
Way to phone in the blue LED on the Brussard collectors. They didn't embed the LEDs behind a lens; just kinda hung them on the front on the Nacelles as if we are suppose to use our imagination,

Sorry to hear you don't like the ship. I was impressed when I saw it. Bigger than I expected it to be.
So I was playing tonight and had a look at the LEDs you don't like.
I just don't get where you're coming from. I think they look fine as is.

Wonder if someone will make a mod that's more your style?
