Quoted from tacshose:If you want one, they come up for sale on Pinside once in awhile, so buy one.
Because were are not all rich. I'd love a big lebowski it's my dream theme. I have big lebowski shirts and merch, I even have a big lebowski duvet cover on my bed but that doesn't mean I have 20k plus to spend on a single pinball machine. That's half a years net salary to me, more then I've ever spent on a car.
Especially when there isnt any support for the game or spare parts being made.
