Quoted from o-din:Yeah, I can see them remaking a game that goes for about $1200 on a good day in today's market.
A game that the main star wanted nothing to do with.
A game that only sold about 3000 units when these movies were actually a thing.[quoted image]
How does this argument even make sense? We aren’t saying remake Data East BTTF, secondly almost 30 years has past and the cast regularly is seen together doing BTTF stuff since at least 2015 so I’d say why wouldn’t Michael J Fox be at least interested in showing himself on the game? Third the game sold at a time when no one collected pins like they do today. Medieval had a run of less than 4K and it’s possibly the best game of all time according to a few people here. And lastly I don’t know the last time I saw a BTTF pin go for 1200 bucks. Maybe 10 years ago. Times have changed a bit
Quoted from o-din:It makes sense because not every body in the world is a groupie for some 30 year old movies and most that are certainly aren't going to spend $8000-$10,000 on something like this. You've got all ten of them right here. Most people have real lives and aren't into that. The original machine wasn't much of a hit anyway even when the series was new. Also you add to that the fact that the pinball world is very small so you put the two together and you end up with a handful of each group that crosses over to each other.
But good luck with your dream! The Wizard of OZ groupies got their pin. And we know everybody loved that theme for a pinball. I’m just sayin there’s a little more of a following for this theme than a few guys who post to pinside. I’d like a new BTTF pin. I think I’ve got a life outside pinball
