I hope Eddy and the engineers take the time and don't botch the mechs this time! ST was such a huge bummer when it came to this; to the point I just couldn't justify keeping long term especially since I spent more time tinkering and dialing in the mechs then playing!

I'm ok with tinkering and dialing in the game it's part of having a pinball machine, I've also done it for almost 10 games now. ST just didn't feel right and when you take apart the mechs they just aren't as good as others I've seen. I felt like whatever I did it wasn't going to last and I would be in the game taking it apart constantly trying to find the sweet spot for more than 1 mech! I had issues with all 3 big parts of the mechs: TK lock, Projector, and the Demogorgon and how it sat on the brackets. When you take that mold off it's literally barely drilled into it, that isn't going to last especially when it starts to wear down from getting hit constantly. So many bad decisions made by cost cutting I feel like, which is a HUGE bummer, because the game/rules/layout is incredible makes me sad.

Found a distributor selling their LE's for almost 14k a pop! Idk about you, but I hope this isn't the new trend. Feel like that is pretty scummy if you ask me!

They're supposed to be $9200 they're purposefully pocketing extra money due to demand. I feel like this shouldn't be allowed and Stern should cut their allotment.

You're telling me you want distributors marking up a price for future pinball machines because they can? It's our only outlet to get machines from Stern if this becomes precedent then it's just shit show. They're supposed to be 9k not flipping 14k, you trying to defend this is ludacris.
