The OFFICIAL LICENSED 'moans about pricing' thread

Remember the SUPREME Stern pinball - those skaterboys will pay sill money...... ha ha

So is it cheaper then just to import from the us and convert them

Ask @Marcel

I retrospect it's staggering Stern thought they could sell 500 Bond 60ths at such a high price, perhaps a hundred or so, but at 500 it's less exclusive than CSI

Then again the market was full of post Covid FOMO and Elwin was being hailed as the best thing to happen to pinball since flippers.

Overall I think it's a good thing for us they got their fingers burned, the last thing we want is more lifestyle brand investor nonsense.

Didn’t Bond 60 ‘sell out’ like Rush LE and Wick LE? I was under the impression it was the distributors who got screwed on this one but I could be wrong.

Depends how you define 'sell out' I guess, I wouldn't call a game sold out if its available from distributors for a healthy discount.

Maybe Stern don't care, if they have passed on the loss, but I can't see distributors keen to sit on another $$$ game and customers who expected an investment, only to end up with the fastest depreciating games, even less so.

I guess another element to higher price LEs not moving is they just don’t feel special anymore.
Can blame Stern for that one.
Kinda like what Omega did with their plethora of limited and special edition watches.

But don't put words in my mouth please.

What would you like us to put in your mouth?

I've got some lovely Christmas Baubles here.
