Never bought nib but for me, I'd rather wait and get a good player than what I'm hearing. A bit like buying a star wars 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and missing the middle 100 pieces. I'm a star wars fan but that'd be pushing the friendship
It's not that bad mate lol it's actually not to bad out of the box :) I mean I haven't got to the wizard mode yet lol there's super modes multiballs I think combos :) I agree there's inserts not coded but that'll happen but no where near as bad as Met & TWD and they are both two of the best games around. Having said that a big update will be nice. My advice just wait and when codes finished then buy it's no secret that Stern are slow coding lol
Add the fact that they have moved factory on the run and have added a lot of staff and have had two fulltime production lines up and running with about 6 different titles still being produced daily at the factory, and they still can't keep up with the orders and they are running flat out at capacity with a world wide boom, and it's probably easy to see why Stern are running flat chat & have probably been surprised at the demand they are experiencing, and the icing of the cake being final code updates is behind.
Ian like you Pete, I am happy for the 80 or 90 percent out of 100 I get from Stern upfront & am cool to wait for the final icing. I focus on the majority of the good/great I get as a Stern frequent consumer.
Nino made a point about Star Trek Next Gen but it also had at least one or two code updates after sale and it was when the pinball industry was at its biggest with many more staff and customers pro rata.
Comparing the industry then and the industry now isn't comparing apples to apples.
The industry is on its way up from oblivion versus at its peak in a different era.
Let's see how long the Kiss code update takes.
I am hearing that it's due very soon after sending a email to the factory.
Either way, the Kiss pinball is stunning to see in person.
That's one thing I am sure we all agree on. Lol
