Interestingly though, this poll is currently showing more people interested in Dialed in than the 1966 BatMan by a wide margin. Of course the version of Batman and Robin on display here was from the time when the men wore skinny tights and shorts cut so high it would make even Daisy Duke blush.

If cost is really a driving concern for you then perhaps you've chosen most wisely. The modular system Heighway has built into the Alien Pin will make their future themes that much less costly when swapped in for a brand new experience .

Yes it sucks that prices have risen to this level from just 5 years ago. But that is where we are now, you know that. All the more impressive that Highway buyers have an "affordable" option to come, and where the playfield shipping costs from the US Distributor should be much less than for an entire pin, cabinet and all. I don't think a single playfield kit has shipped yet since their second title Alien has yet to ship, not sure where you saw one.

I get what your saying, prices are stupid high now. But if you want to compare their playfield swaps remember they're not making Pros. Their SE playfields are easily on par with a Stern Premium/LE, consider how all the lights are addressable RGB's. That's the way it should be for these prices.
