Quoted from beelzeboob:This, exactly. Tron has, like, NO toys on it. The only "toy" is a spinning disc behind a motorized target bank.
LOL 
No toys...but then you immediately list out TWO ball-interactive toys on it. That was fantastic.
I agree that a game doesn't have to have toys to be fun, but I at least want to feel that I'm getting my monies worth physically. It's more principle than anything.
Quoted from beelzeboob:Because I'd hardly define a spinning disc or motorized target bank as a "toy." When you ask somebody to name toys on POTC, the ship is the first thing to come to mind, the treasure chest is the second. The spinning disc would be a distant third. I guess my definition of a toy is something that's molded to fit the theme and interacts with the player. I don't consider the spinning discs on Whirlwind to be toys.
Not to argue, but that's kinda my point. There isn't even a pseudo-toy on SW like a spinning disc or motorized bank!!
Quoted from beelzeboob:There's a f**king TIE fighter on a spring!!! What more do you want???
Can't tell if serious or not, but pretty funny either way! 
Quoted from beelzeboob:Totally joking. I realize the BOM is really low on this game.
...and that doesn't mean the game is bad. It's fun. It's a little confusing, has scoring issues (with the lame multiplier rules), and I think it has too many hurry-ups, but it is fun. I'll play the crap out of it on location. Just wish it was physically anywhere near worth the price of it. It's not.
Quoted from Chambahz:Yeah, I'm not getting that comment either.
Left loop. Left inner orbit/Death Star shot. Right inner orbit/Hoth shot. Left ramp/Endor shot. Right ramp.
Right orbit. Right scoop (Tatooine) shot.
Force target bank. Tie fighter. 3 bank LCD.
Pretty sure that's all of them? So 7 shots not including drop targets, tie fighter, lcd, or the little stand up targets.
Pinside doesn't care about shot count. AC/DC has 5 shots! Yes, 5. It's still highly regarded and loved. SW is a fun game and Dwight is doing some nice rules with some neat ideas. It's hard to not feel disappointment though with the theme. It's kind of a problem with fanboy themes...mega-hard to do it justice. Too many expectations. Might have been better with a toy-heavy Borg game with the theme. Eh, like it for what it is. Another standard Ritchie fan flowfest.
Quoted from smassa:Nobody outside of Pinside loves AC/DC? lol
I know it is highly regarded by many tournament players who are not even on pinside. Look at how many shots Avengers has. How well is that game reguarded
Well, how about people in general don't care about shot count. You and I are in agreement.
