Dunno if it'll take off tho

 

[ronsplooter]

Never understood the market for these, why spend that amount of money on something like that instead of just buying a proper pinball machine.....it'll probably fall to bits within in few months as well

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Looks ridiculous.



What a waste of everyones time, and the poor suckers money that buys that POS

Maybe at < £500

 

[Calimori]

Just to be sure, are you all agreeing this looks like a cheap sack of excrement?

It look like a toy which I guess is the idea.

 

[jonathan]

It's got $1000 off. It's meant to be $4000

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Its basically a glorified Zizzle ....and we remember how wonderful they were Thing is they were 'only' a couple hundred quid .....not a few grand.



Unbelievable they are asking that sort of money.

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

For those too young to remember Zizzle

Actually the Stern one looks loads better BUT its still insanely priced.

 

[Replay]

If, my kids wanted this and they don't I wouldn't be going higher than $500. Who will buy it?

 

[mufcmufc]

Could be an incorrect price, happens on Amazon a lot with pre-orders

 

[Paul R Owen]

Seems a strange marketing idea. Take a product that, like it or not is dead to the mass-market, and er... make it worse??

 

[Calimori]

I am going to buy a few, keep them NIB and then sell them on ebay for more later. They might be more desirable than MM's in a few years.

No you're not

 

[Calimori]

You my friend are right. I read about the Zizzle, did they actually make any?

 

[Sgt GrizZ]

Yes. I know someone who has one If you were 6 years old you might think it was the greatest toy ever. You might. For the rest of the pinball playing world they were just laughably lame toys

 

[john bud]

the clue is in the postage weight, 46lbs

 

[ronsplooter]

Yes. I know someone who has one

I hope you've had suitable words with them

 

[cooldan]

is that the horrible thing at Dawn's place?

 

[johnwhitfield]

nah - that's a Roadshow

 

[Paul R Owen]

There are far far worse machines than Roadshow! eg.Shrek / FGY
