Quoted from epthegeek:It’s going to be just that, I’d expect. ‘Mando’.
That would make too much sense. Needs to be some kind of convoluted acronym instead to confuse outsiders.

Quoted from Deaconblooze:I think it was after Tron LEs went nuts that everyone started buying every LE they could get their hands on. After Transformers and XM people got burned and we saw that settle down quite a bit. Buying an $8,000+ toy without so much as a picture is the single stupidest thing about this hobby. Sorry.
Not with this title and most distributors have lists of 50+ people long. Getting one of these is like printing money and the reason we are in this mess is because of everyones FOMO. Even Bill Brandes is buying 2 MandoLE's to flip like GnR CE and he is a millionaire.
The game could eventually drop in price if it sucks but that won't be for a while since early reviews will be biased and the flipping for profit will have been long gone by then. I just can't wait till distributors start charging more then MSRP because they are leaving a shit ton of money on the table. Kaneda doesn't even have room for his GnR CE and is buying one of these to flip.
This is the way.
Quoted from Darth_Chris:We all know where the most expensive versions are going.....deepest pockets.
It's also the people with the best connections who get to buy them. This won't even be available to buy online once officially announced. You don't need deep pockets when you know you can sell shortly after and make a few grand. I used to by every NIB so had good connections in the hobby and know how it works. I would get discounts for being a repeat buyer and the more I got the bigger the discount. Distributors get stuck with inventory when a game sucks like WWE so I see no reason why they shouldn't cash in when they have a hot title like Mando.
Quoted from apessino:If the little hints Jack Danger has dropped during his recent streams are in any way an indication, it will be a spectacular pin. Can't wait for the reveal!
Jack would never say anything negative about Stern since he is their ambassador.
Quoted from Cdonnerusmc:Great, the price increases are happening again. I just got off the phone with Betson and they Informed me the Limited Edition machines are going up to $12,500.00 while the pro's and premiums will remain about the same. I have every Limited Edition stern pinball machine and Topper for the past 7 or 8 years. I let him know if we are not seeing anything new other than the same old powder coating, HD glass, inside art blades,mirrored backglass and a signature I am officially done with Stern Pinball. There's no justification for that type of increase without a physical mechanism upgrade or more. I was told We will know more as of this coming Tuesday. I hope they do the right thing.
1st world problems
Definitely not shadow 2.0 like everyone kept saying. I'm sure the game will be fun and they will sell a shit ton but if I was a huge Starwars or Mando fan I would be disappointed. Mini PF doesn't look exciting with 6 stationary targets and baby yoda is a doll with no interaction. My money is safe and I'll enjoy it on location. Now onto Godzilla and Keith.

I've been fairly critical on most of the newer Stern releases but really had a fun time playing Mando Pro and look forward to the Premium/LE. Can't rember the last time I felt this way playing a new game and to be honest I had very low expectations after the release. I think this will crush on location because I had some decent ball times and newbies will get to start a multiball or two as well as a few modes.
