Great thread! I've been patiently waiting to buy a Star Wars and after the release (unless the premium looks substantially different), I went from can't wait to forget it. For me, looks among other factors play a really important part of the decision making process. Stern has spoiled me with Metallica, Aerosmith and Ghostbusters. I will not buy a car that drives well and doesn't look the part(although maybe TWD premium maybe an exception). My pins are like my car collection and in the end, I will end up looking at it more than playing it. I'm still a huge Stern fan and will eagerly await the next one. Love the way they play and I have confidence in how they have handled any issue I've had along the way.

For whatever it's worth I had a really bad experience a couple years ago on a JJP pin, dumped it and walked away thinking I'd not do business with them again. They seem to have gotten over the humps now and I'd consider doing business with them again. I cringed at the release of Dialed In just due to the name, but after seeing it and playing it many times I'm find myself leaning towards buying this one now instead of Star Wars. Who would have ever thought. It plays well and looks sharp!

My only concern is not so much the cost, but the resale. They are like GM in that they will build the hell out of this one with different versions for many years which will effect value. That aside, I think they have a winner here despite the the name.
