Well after watching the entire stream last night I am now about 75 percent certain to cancel my LE order next week. Here are my personal reasons for it.
- the mechanical failures of the hyper loop (balls stopped spinning more often than not and simply plopped out the bottom) and the Death Star toy was not exciting at all. Not sure a light makes it that much better.
- future code updates don't bother me but mechanical failures do. I don't want the hassle of trying to ship and install parts that need to be fixed.
- I am unlikely to ever get to blow up the Death Star anyway since I'm a bad player. Lol. The pros last night struggled. That's the only interactive toy and I'll never see it in action.
- the game looks fun but I just don't see the $3,200 value in an LE over a pro. I don't care for the pro so that pretty much means I won't get this title in any form.
- ghosting is the new normal. Sorry but not for an $8,400 luxury toy. If you are unlucky enough to have a table with ghosting then good luck selling it for less than a $1,000 hit on your asking price for something you can't control. If I keep my games in mint condition, then they should stay mint from top to bottom.
It's a bummer too as this was a dream theme from a company I really like. When I started buying pins 5 years ago this was the one I was waiting for.
