I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and I have owned all 3 versions.
I find the Data East version to be the best of them.
I couple of years ago, someone brought a DE to the pinfest in Allenstown that was all decked out (tactfully) in LEDs. That machine looked like it just came off the assembly line. Man it was gorgeous!
Now, having said that, I agree what others have said here.
Put the money in your piggy bank and wait for the new SW pin.
