Quoted from Rarehero:To be fair, he game and price was announced years ago....had there been no announcement back then and he was announcing this year, would the price still be that low?
Regardless, it is a low price for a beloved theme by many. What Andrew has going for him that the others don't is the modular aspect. Once Heighway gets Alien pins in pinhead homes what's next? New themes via playfield swap outs at a much lower cost vs a whole new pin.
Clearly as people become more fed up with rising prices many are going to realize they could have a "new" pin for much less and they can still swap back to their older themes in under 5 minutes to still enjoy a nice variety.
On topic, DI wins value wise, BM66 wins theme wise. Still at a ridiculous price point but I guess it depends on what kind of consumer is comparing the 2 games to each other.
Some people are going to value the Nostalgia Factor over the Value Factor in this case.
