Quoted from indybru:You make some valid points personally I would add to the good the people that work at Stern and JJP I see at the shows they are awesome.
Also while some Sterns might be considered cookie cutter I don’t see it in IRMD, GB, BM66, Mustang , Got to name a few.
The Cookie Cutter label is probably most related to Borg games, and to a lesser extent Ritchie games. I'm looking forward to what Elwin and Eddy can bring to the table next, albeit with the miniscule BOM and endless Gary Rules limitations.
