Summary

Eclectic Gamers debates figurine pricing, Death Star defects, and whether boycotting low-effort Stern games sends any real message.

Tony and Dennis discuss pinball news including Death Star manufacturing defects on Star Wars machines, Planetary Pinball's new collectible figurines based on classic Bally/Williams characters, and debate whether individual buyers can send a message to Stern by refusing to purchase perceived low-effort games like Star Wars: Fall of the Empire. The hosts conclude that while voting with your wallet is personally meaningful, large manufacturers prioritize distributor sales and are unlikely to notice individual boycotts.
