So, $10,000 US Dollar plus the $2,000 air shipping, unless you want to believe you can wait for boat shipping which puts your delivery on forever hold. And if you do hold, then maybe that limited game all of a sudden is tanking in the pinball market here after they announce a standard version with all the "LE" upgrades that were supposed to be limited.

That's $12,000 US delivered to the door in the United States. When I see a bunch of Haggis Fathoms, which I consider a much better game, on the market here for $1K-$2K less (maybe more) and Fathom is THE better game of the two, Centaur is a tough buy IMO.

Not to mention that you can get a pretty good restored Centaur for way cheaper.

I don't see why anyone would be in on this for trying to flip, Fathoms are already selling for a big loss and (IMO) is the better game.

I anticipate that Fathoms will go up as Haggis moves forward for 2 reasons- with the price increases overall (Centaur now $12K delivered) and the fact that this new price structure leaves the future in question whether people will pay that for Centaur.

I wouldn't mind sitting on a Mermaid NIB IF I was a speculator. But I'm not. I am out of room and having to put a new roof on my house, etc.,

Best of luck to Haggis and the Haggis owners moving forward. Timing is everything.

Yeah, but $17K good?

Last time, communication was good when it was time to take deposits. Then the promised delivery times were lied about. I'd be curious how many people are really going all in on this one...

I'll take the Fathom and be happy with a nice restored Centaur.

This game is absolutely worth $10K+, you better believe they will be super hard to find/come by in the coming years... just try and do a high end restoration or contact HEP and see what it costs to make a classic THIS nice.

Where Haggis is dropping the ball is the huge price increase for Centaur IMO. While $10K delivered seems good to me, $12K doesn't sound as good. Plus, I'm 10X more a Fathom fan than Centaur..

Stern produces a batch of games at the initial production of a title and ships those games overseas before they even launch/make a game available here in the U.S. so the games have time to travel. I think with Haggis, they don't produce all the games for the U.S. all at once, ie, they stagger production based on who purchased the game as opposed to where the game is going. If you are making 30 games in 6 months, for example, and 80% of them are staying inside Australia, then of course you're never going to fill a container in any reasonable amount of time..

I love the Centaur, I really want one, just can't stomach the price personally. But this is the pinball world we live in.

I still believe that Fathom is a hell of a deal at less than $10K delivered for those buying used...
