My first 4 Stern pins were LOTRLE, SM, AC/DC premium and WPT. The first 2 are gone.
I've passed on a lot of pins because of theme alone for me.
I keep breaking my "play before you buy" rule with the last 3 Sterns I've purchased.
TWDLE, GBLE and now BatmanLE. Just love all 3 themes. Add in Lyman and its an automatic!
I'd consider buying anything Lyman is involved in, then it comes down to theme, layout, designer. Borg tops that list for me.
If Lyman really is "assisting" on getting Kiss updated then no worries and just hang in there, it'll happen.
