From what I've heard they're lower reliability than any other NIB game, and there's no longer any manufacturer support for any of the custom pieces if they fail. People who I believe can look for the same things as I do, have also said that the larger electronics involved such as the PC are low-tier. So they're already a machine that even the experienced show-mechanics are not going to be able to work on during the show beyond the most basic of stuff, unlike for any Stern or any older machine.I thought Full throttle wasn't bad for reliability? I experienced some issues with Alien but it was a lovely looking machine. Never played FT though.
All I know is I've only ever personally seen a FT once in my life at Tilt, and it wasn't accepting my coins when I did see it...
