I was really excited about the new releases from Stern and JJP. The new games look awesome but man, what gives with the pricing. As a hobbyist collector and small route guy I just can't afford these anymore. As a Lawlor fan I was excited about his game and with it being an unlicensed game I was expecting a better price point. The new Stern game looks great but between not still receiving my Ghostbusters game I paid for in March/April and quality issues of the last few games I can't be to excited. Now I know they said this price structure was ONLY for the Batman unit but the writing is on the wall.

Quoted from DefaultGen:

Just because a couple new games are stupid money doesn't mean the hobby is dead. Spooky and Heighway are making competitively priced new games. 99% of games from 1930-2012 remain relatively affordable, or at least you can find a fun game at literally any budget.
It's like a new Lamborghini was announced and people are worried that the common man is now priced out of driving cars.

You can't keep dressing up a KIA and sell it as a Ferari!
