We've been wanting a road case premium (replace translate just as you noted ulmpharmd) - so far though I haven't really come across one for less than near $7k shipped which just seems a bit higher than what I was expecting (including Marco at the TPA 3 weeks ago).
We'll be going to Houston at the end of the month (unfortunately for my wife's leukemia treatment / stem cell transplant consult at MD Anderson) and I'd really like to return home with one - time to see if Joystix has one in stock and the current price.
After playing so many games at the TPA, the only games I would be interested in buying NIB were MM remake and Metallica (the LE at the TPA was really fun to play. felt better than the pro's on display by Marco and in the tournament area, the hammer doesn't bother me anymore).
the MM remake is a bit too much $$$$, Mustang was 'ok" but way too easy / a little bit boring , WoZ is great to look at but I've yet to really get into it , Star Trek doesn't interest my wife in the least and she'll be playing as much as me (it's one of the only things we can do together as she's mostly ill due to chemo, playing a little pinball is perfect) - she's wanted the Metallica Prem road case edition ever since it was announced so it's time we just BUY ONE! (though I too have a 5 - 7 day workup for a pre malignant condition which may be converting to Myeloma, prob spending $$$$ on a pinball machine is the last thing we should put our $$$ into but you only live once right? )
Anyway, if anyone knows of any deals on a Metallica prem road case pls let me know thanks!
