Man.....

It's a novel day when I can't even lightly poke fun of someone for liking Sailor Moon or Hello Kitty (I love anime ffs) but instead have to chastise them for being dumb enough to finance a Supreme pinball..

And where the hell did the BALLY part of this come from?!?! LOL! Bally hasn't produced a pin in over 20 years! Did you even do any research at all, or are you just being spoonfed information from all the other dweebs that are happy to throw away money because something is red and white using a stolen font....or are you interested in this game: http://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=155

Bro, and I really mean "bro" because you are exemplifying that term right now:

Just delete your account and pretend this thread never happened. Make a new account, don't mention this at all, and come back in incognito and we will forget this ever happened and welcome you to the community and help you out with tech advice when you inevitably need it because you can't afford to pay a tech, and don't know the first thing about maintaining a pin. We already had a massive thread about the Supreme pin and the nearly universal consensus except for two guys out of 100+ is that it's the most moronic thing we've ever seen. Paying for your BLING with a credit card? You just won the Idioteque Grand Prix. You know what is said about my hometown, and the place I've been a resident of my entire life, Dallas? That we have McMillionaires....guys that buy fancy cars they can't afford to try to pull in chicks, while living in the crappiest apartments. This is *you* right now. Wake. Up.

Design? Sure, okay. But much like I don't know art, I still know s--t when I see it, and that thing is a big steaming pile designed to rob suckers like you of money. That's the DESIGNED INTENT of their products. It's not quality. It's not uniqueness or rarity. I said it on the other thread, I'll say it ad infinitum because I believe it's one of the most relevant things I've ever heard about these kinds of "designer" things: "Fifty dollars for a t-shirt, that's just some ridic....sh------t"

Not mass produced? Give me a break. It's going to be built on the same Stern assembly line that produces THOUSANDS of other pins a year. The only difference is the excessive amount of laziness put into this 'design'....it's the same layout as a game released in 2016 for the home market, with lazy art and sound on it. It's going to be built on a literal assembly line, using the same process as everything else Stern makes. It's not handcrafted, it's not unique. It's LITERALLY a copied product with a different label. See attached picture.

It's literally paying thousands to 10k+ extra for them to slap different ink on the same game...just... Paying for THAT with a credit card is just icing on the cake.

I have a card with a 13k credit limit. Have I bought a game on my credit card...um...yes. Am I proud to say that, or can I say from experience that it was a smart decision? Absolutely NOT. It was dumb. I sold the game years ago, and in theory I'm STILL paying for it, depending on how you choose to look at my debt situation. Absolutely one of the top most idiotic things I've ever done.

*edit* Things like this make me GLAD to be "an old" at 36.

D/FW ain't hip enough for it. We aren't Brooklyn, clearly.

It's a brand. With red and white text.

Like Coca-Cola.

I wonder if that term is a regional thing? I've used that also. Would be cool if it was a Texas thing, lol.

The moment this guy said "crib" and "throw money" in his responses was all I needed to see to confirm what was already evident. He's beyond logic or help. He came here looking for validation, and he's not going to get it, so now we are the ones that "can't understand", even though it's clear that most of us are collectors of some things that everyone else would call stupid. Should've gone to the Supreme forums if you were looking for backup, bro. People here aren't afraid to call things as they are, not how we imagine them to be. The crowd here is older, more experienced with money, and more logical than 99.9% of 21 year olds. You'd be wise to listen to some of these guys and take their advice, even if you think I'm an idiot....but you won't...because you're 21 and think you know everything there is to know about the world via the intarwebz and your "culture bros".

Funny, and this reminded me more of this thread...

Crashed a McLaren 720s. There's something rather telling in the video.
