Taxi production was 7300
Star Wars DE was 10400

So there are 30% less Taxi machines. Which is something to consider.

Star Wars DE is a fantastic game IMO and gets more sought after every new Star Wars incarnation that falls short of fan expectations.

I hate to break up this Taxi lovefest but the fact is that Star Wars DE sells MUCH higher than a Taxi. If the Star Wars and Taxi machines were in identical condition you would be a fool to not trade a Taxi for Star Wars.

You could enjoy the Star Wars pinball machine for a while, then sell it and pick up another Taxi and have a enough of a profit left to buy another pinball machine as well.

And by your logic "some idiot" paid $3999 for a Taxi. And a SW Sold $305
So I guess you should sell the Taxi for $4K and pick up 13 Taxi with the money?

Could you compare apples vs orange any worse? You are likely comparing a flawless SW vs a train wreck Taxi.

Like Taxi or Like Star Wars is the not the point I am making here, there is no arguement that SWDE is a far more valuable game.

Highest SWDE sold for 3x Taxi price
Lowest SWDE sold for 2x Taxi price
Average SWDE sold for 2x Taxi price

I would also by an additional SWDE at the right price.

But I think we should not condemn Sterns latest effort until it is give a chance to make us yawn or yippie. Most on the SW Stern thread seem very disappointed by the art (me among them).
