good that they are doing something but disagree in your comment - that people are being picky and asking for more for their money. Look at the Kiss Pro compared to the GoT pro, huge difference and think they took too much out. How can a Kiss pro have almost everything that a LE does less a few things that don't greatly change the game play / layout compared to GoT where a second playfield, castle walls etc and taken away - huge difference. Yes they are trying to force Premium and LE sales but with the world dollar that isn't going to happen and reckon the LE will take a while to sell out. You know when a game is a hit as when the LE's sell in a few days. I think people are simply stating "we would buy it if it was better in a few ways" so even though it could of been a great seller Stern have been taught that game title alone won't sell a crap load of games, Stern have to still maintain a high level of quality and design with every game. So we have hit a point of people are talking with their wallets and being keyboard cammando's.

The recent C2C thread where Terissa was asked what she thought of the game was interesting as she is a fan of pinball, read almost all the GoT books and watched every show episode and she was not a fan of this game and reckons they got the feel all wrong. Just look at the gears, as only used mainly in the intro that isn't really a focus of the show and it's characters yet there must be over 50 of the buggers on there.

Also the dollar difference is killing sales and even Canada which is only a border away from the US is asking $12k for a LE - think the bubble might be at it's limit. Will be interesting at the end of the week as it is predicted that the US will raise interest rates - I don't know enough about economics but sure this will have some effect on currency's and possibly Stern's pricing...  maybe the new Iron Chair will mean a price rise....

here are 2 renderings of the proposed improvement - fills a empty void I guess and back panel has changed as well
