Quoted from jar155:They took existing photo assets and "traced" them to create a hand-drawn look.
Is that a good or bad thing?

Quoted from Plumonium:Sorry if I missed the boat, but any video of the gameplay yet?
not yet, and no word of when there will be
Quoted from TimberOne:Anyone know what the price of the Tron LE was when released? They seem to be in the $10k range when rarely are available.
5800€ ... (surelly much less in the USA & in $)
on that time my wife said i was crazy to spend so much money for just a "pinball"... 
This thread has almost as many posts as Vid's Playfield Restoration thread! Good time for a summary of what we have learned so far:

We've reaffirmed that theme matters and people will still buy without playing or seeing video and if there are any quality concerns it's worth the risk and stern can strip features and add cost and it doesn't matter, Woohoo

so a lesson for the other companies right? makes pins that ship fast and have themes people actually want, sounds about right.
Maybe there is no footage because if there was, maybe some would back out based on what they saw and Stern knows this.

You must be bored with the lack of interest in the JJP thread to always be making your way over to Stern threads.

How did u know. 
Quoted from Lermods:I just got the call the my pro is ready to ship.
Lermods Kanobi....you're our only hope. He might be the first able to provide video
Quoted from Lermods:I just got the call the my pro is ready to ship.
NICE! Death Stars are apparently in?
Unfortunately, I don't know when I'll get it, may not be until week of July 10 as we are heading to pintastic on Wednesday morning. I kind of like the ring of Lermods kanobi....or maybe Luke Lermods.
I haven't followed this thread much, too hard to keep up. 
Death Stars are an issue?
Quoted from Lermods:Death Stars are an issue?
Sky is falling because no one has seen them on the production line. So your game probably won't have one when you get it. Word is stern is going to have to ship you one to install at a later date.
Quoted from Lermods:Death Stars are an issue?
I think people have said they couldn;t see any death stars in the face book videos that showed for 3 seconds...or maybe some pics.
Anyway, as you can imagine this caused great panic and was stapled as the reason they couldn't show videos or they arent ready or why Jaws is being made next.

Wouldnt that be funny. Im sure stern cant produce them fast enough and are running out of room in their warehouse. It would be the logical thing to do if you dont have anymore room and want to keep pumping out games while waiting for a globe thatinstalls with like 4 screws. Stern has the capacity to produce 100 games a day. Now if the supplier is 2 weeks late. I dont think stern can sit on 700 complete games without shipping some out.

Quoted from TKDalumni:At this point I think Stern wants the first videos to be posted by us! Down deep they love PS and want the members to do the reveal!!! Thanks Stern
I want some of what your smoking

About 68 posts ago, someone said their distributor told them Stern was going to ship the games "incomplete" and the user can install the missing item(s) at home. Vague, yes, but that coupled with no DS shown on assembled games, here we are.

That was Europe though

But my distro said this wasn't true.

My distro can beat up your distro!
Quoted from Astropin:My distro can beat up your distro!
Bullshit. My distro said that JAWS is next and I'm the only one that gets it. SLE 1 of 1.

Haha...I'll call you guys when my iron Maiden is here...distro said 2 weeks.
My distro said your distros suck.
BTW...I did hear death stars were shipping separately to be user installed. If that's true, it's a new low for Stern. I really hope it's not true. You don't pay that kind of money to have to put shit together yourself. Why don't you just send me a kit and chop 60% off the price?
Note to Stern: Wait to announce your machine until the machine is ready to be shown. Assemble the machine and ship them when the game is ready to be shipped. The WHOLE machine. You guys already have enough other machines to build without building incomplete Star Wars pros...don't you?
Quoted from beelzeboob:Why don't you just send me a kit and chop 60% off the price?
Because that's not how it works at Stern, they'll send you a kit and increase the price by 10%....I kid, I kid.

Stern Heathkit. Say what you will, but the build QC would be better.

It was me who said about the Death Stars
, I have no reason not to believe my distributor, most well known in the U.K. and he has no reason to lie!
He refused the offer and waiting Pro's complete.
My LE will likely be in with the Pro's when they ship 
If this is true on the Pro its a non interactive toy so a couple screws and plugging in a wire? wow that should be a challenge. I would rather have the game than wait a month or 2 for a plastic orb installed at the factory. JMO

Yo distro so fat, she thought Jabba the Hut had anorexia!!

Shew, you know if it was jjp doing that, you would be burning them at the stake. Stern though? Shoot man, only a couple screws, no biggie! Who knows if it is really true or not, but sending out games "playfield assembly required", that's a new one. The reality is it sets a pretty bad precedent on a $5k plus luxury item.
With a few so receptive to whatever gauntlet stern throws down, it's no wonder they take advantage wherever they can.

Well...it's not a new one, but it puts them in Heighway territory with their shipping of games without the xenomorph. 
I would be really surprised if they actually were ever planning on sending out games without the death star. Smells like hype to me.
If it really happens... I wouldn't know what else to do but laugh.
I would imagine it was an option to have one/some quickly for a release event or something similar and was then blown into something much much more.
