Quoted from GGBGROUP:

What I find interesting is that JJP is apparently not reaching-out to its well-established customer base for input on questions such as changing mechs on new machines. I think most of us who have multiple JJP machines would have counseled them to at least reduce the price if toys (and BOM) are reduced, otherwise the public's reaction will be negative. Ivory tower syndrome?

They're trying to have it both ways. Either they need to be a lot more transparent and detailed about the decision-making process in removing the mech, or they need to be like Stern and close off information until launch. The way they're making and communicating this change is really off-brand for a company that's put itself out as the behind-the-curtain, fan-friendly, no-expense-spared boutique label.

Studies show that a strong circle of close kickbacks extends your life.

The problem is, who's gonna believe anything remotely new or innovative shown in the Toy Story reveal will stick around for production?

Quoted from o-din:

Here is a Bally example.
The year is 1975 and our country is about to celebrate it's bicentennial and Bally is striving to become the top pinball manufacturer which shortly there after they would go onto become. On Freedom they removed an entire pop bumper from a key location, but that didn't stop them from selling over 5000 units.

This is because the Europeans complained they couldn't hold the ball as easily while they drank beer and bragged about their upcoming shot. Not because of cost or reliability. And the audience was 99% operators.

The problem is that no one believes cocentric spinning discs, while definitely innovative, is a technology so bleeding edge, so out there, that it could not be engineered with a reasonable amount of time and effort. It comes off as a cool feature they promised, sold people on heavily, and then couldn't or wouldn't be bothered to get right.
