Quoted from ronlisa:

After reading through almost 700 post on the forum about the new Star Trek, one thing is clear, most of us are disappointed on what Stern released with a exception of a few people . The one person that we can point a finger to that is responsible for making us feel this way is not Gary Stern..., it is Jack.

Jack Guarnieri at Jersey Jack Pinball is responsible for our disappointment with Star Trek.

Quoted from Craig:

We'll just have to disagree politely on this point. I don't like having to plunk down thousands of dollars based on a few pictures. I think that is asking too much of consumers. Of course, the gamble might well pay off. I don't dispute that. I am also a Steve Ritchie fan and hope the pin is all it's cracked up to be. Still, I think Stern owes its customers more information on the front end, especially if the decision to buy an LE--necessarily made in haste--is final. I don't think this is a reasonable way of doing business, but others are welcome to disagree. Obviously, it seems to be working for Stern, so I don't expect them to change.

Quoted from swampfire:

A pin that doesn't have art as its primary focus can never be a collectible. Even Congo, a game initially derided for its theme (a bad movie) had fantastic art. Buy bad art at your own peril.
