Couldn't resist lets get back onto topic and see how many for's and against's there are.
I'm a no for this model
I'm a no also and not just for this theme. I personally wouldn't spend the money be it 3K or half that amount because I want the real thing and not the pretend version. But that's just me, I've no problem with anyone else wanting to buy one though, each to there own, if you enjoy it good luck to you. I'd still like to hear from anyone familiar with the Pro or LE version to see what they think of the layout/look of the toy version though.
I also think that If Stern wanted to produce a machine to use up there spare parts or target a new market or whatever the case maybe, then in this case they should have re branded it so as not to negatively affect the "Stern" brand. I mean that in a positive way too. I'm glad Stern are still making pinball where others have pulled out of the market and I hope that they grow and innovate but this machine isn't the path for that.
+1 you make some excellent points in which a supposed good idea could actually damage a company's and industries reputation
