the ones ive seen are below nib prices now.

It seems like this title has gone up more than others but player sentiment hasn't changed. I liked it for pre covid pricing.

It's the best looking of all the Band themes, it's fun to play, and band games ALWAYS hold their value. Even stuff like Stones that nobody here seems to like.

Welcome to pinball in 2022. If you want it, chances are it won't be cheap. Nothing to do with "millionaire collectors" or games gathering dust; they are getting played, just not by you cause you don't have one.

The only thing you "missed" was the chance to buy one at $5500 five years ago. They are out there if you want them.

If you don't like the price of Aerosmith now that it is out of production and in a scarcity market...

You are really not going to like James Bond.

And every new Stern pinball currently sitting in a Dealer's showroom is going to go up to Bond prices as of January 1st.

Look at it this way... No more Aerosmith pinballs are ever going to be made. People have found out that Aerosmith was just a great pinball... even if you didn't like the band it's tons of fun, has delightful surprises, a great well-rounded pinball experience.

It's one of the good ones... so it's desirable.

Personally, I'm finding that the top of the market pricing for premium machines that sold new out of the box for a discounted price of $7699.00, are now selling for over $9000.00, and if you want one NOW, you might be looking at your only source offering it for $10,999.00.

People just need to accept that the new normal for quality pins is north of $10,000.00.

Aerosmith is a great band and the pin isn't too shabby either. Even the pro is pretty good without the Elevator upper playfield. Its the first Stern to have a HD LCD display. The kicker that launches the ball into the toy chest still one of the coolest things in pinball. Are these prices the new normal...we'll see but for right now the sky's the limit.

2 in the market place currently LE for $19K and Premium for $11K both pretty pimped out.

both owners are batshit crazy looking for a money grab, be patient pros pop up for 6k quite a bit. the premium started at $12,500 now he's down to 11k, just fishing for a sucker. and the le guy is completely off his rocker asking anywhere near that.

Pointless nitpicking:

I think Batman 66 was the first LCD game, followed by Aerosmith and GOTG?

I wish I was millionaire. Takes some effort to get this one. I even drove through New Jersey to get it. Good location game. Normal people ask what kind of pinballs I have. They always comment on Aerosmith. I doubt stern will make a new game that has swear words.

Star Wars before GotG according to IPDB. Batman ‘66 was the first SPIKE2, which is when they switched to LCD screens. Interesting they only made about 5 different commercial SPIKE games. Pretty short run.

And has some of the best pinball artwork going. Amazing looking machine.

A underrated machine for sure, not a lot for sale. I recently picked one up with a lot of plays on it and it shows zero wear. Back when Stern made good playfields! Anyone have a Dirty Donny Jackie for sale?

Stranger Things has 'Bull Sh!t' (switch frenzy) mode and they made a run of STh pros not that long ago, so no indication that is true.

True. I’m not sure why choose to do this in certain pins.
