Quoted from Chambahz:It's not like Stern is under any pressure to provide photos or videos of their upcoming release.
Now if JJP has another pin coming out that was an option for StarTrek buyers, that would be a different story. That's the context here.
As I said before, WOZ blows away my ACDC as far as the light show goes, but it doesn't hold a candle to it as far as adrenaline-pumping action is concerned. I doubt that Stern is overly threatened by JJP at the moment. -Though this time around, the new lights on ST may be in reaction to WOZ. If so, I'm appreciative of the competition!
I hear ya, but based on comments there were dollars diverted to Hobbit due to the price increase, I'll have both Woz and Ac/dc in my house in the next week or so and both are different pins, I know Ac/dc is a blast, we'll see about Woz....
And JJ has said recently that they too will be producing 2-3 pins per year and I would guess that as Hobbit comes out next fall they will be primed and ready to go with pin #3 in early spring of the following year......
I don't doubt that Stern IS "concerned", they should be, the latest miss of not including an Lcd on Star Trek and still no stereo sound and higher price point ain't gonna help, I'll take both options along with Jpop, but Stern is gonna have to raise the quality/feature bar a whole lot for the $$$ If you are any kind of a businessman and dismiss a competitor that just sold 2000 pins and is only going to get better, well that would be pretty stupid, and they are not that....
And I GUARANTEE you, the idea of not releasing video has cost them a ton of sales and that little strategy will change in the future....
