I overpaid on mine because I knew I wanted a decent one. I was friends with Python so I wanted another one of his games and BOP was one of his favorites. When I sold the bulk of my games off this year, I kept this (and 3 others) mostly anticipating the addition of the kit. I also couldn't sell it because I had Python (and later John Trudeau) sign the translite. I'm still looking forward to the kit. I personally think it's a real weak rule set and the kit will help it a lot.

I'm not criticizing but I'm curious as to why? It's a rather shallow rule set and this kit will really expand on the game tremendously. It also has the original version included so you can still play it like it was. Again, you're welcome to your opinion, I just wonder why.

Technically, they are including a new computer, a new display, a new sound system (amp & speakers), a new speaker panel, and custom hardware to start it all in addition to the software. Those things are not without cost for sure. I do agree that adding $2000 to a $2500 game makes you think twice, but you could also look at it as buying a brand new game for only $2000. The thing that pushed me over the edge was when I was at Expo 2013 and I played this and then played the new Stern Star Trek, how much more polished this was. Since I was friends with Python Anghelo, I decided that this would be my next "New Game".
