Quoted from JodyG:What the team did here with the theme is incredibly smart. Combining a band pin with a story grabbed a lot of interest from folks who do not necessarily worship the band by not just making it a concert in a box like nearly every other band pin. Stern probably doubled or tripled the number of people who are willing to buy this game by going for the more creative and fun story approach. This is the way forward for certain IP's...you basically have an original IP game supported by a popular band. Incredibly smart marketing.
They sure pulled me in! I don’t know a darned thing about the Foo Fighters, but Jack’s incredibly fun layout, Jeremy’s beautiful art, the amazing animations (Stern has finally gotten the LCD right!), and the clever Saturday morning cartoon heroes vs aliens theme have all caused me to go from having zero interest before the reveal to now having already paid in full for an LE. I can’t wait to add the Foo Fighters to my collection!
