Quoted from singapore_pin:You have made your point clear about 100 times in any thread around. Can you go back to batman 66 now? Please
Agree with you. The price is just stupid. Hope they consider the standard version
Here is another point for you. A "standard" version? WTF do you think a 6,999 version is!
You can't make this ridiculous nonsense up
Quoted from PanzerFreak:Stern is charging nearly $9k for a Batman Premium which looks like a joke / rip off compared to Dialed In (not even going to mention Batman 66 LE / SLE prices...). Dialed In is $9k but at least it's loaded, has a ton of tech, has top notch LCD animations, invisiglass, shaker, a real backglass, etc.
Panzer toy is back!
The thing is Panzer toy, Stern only has to sell 80 SLE's, CHECK, 240 LE's, CHECK and the Premium is going to be $7500, CHECK
So tell me again, where is the $1500 difference in toys/tech? And why do I want to buy a HORRIBLE theme?
CHECK
Ok. I'd love to play it. Sounds great
Maybe Pinballz will have it
I'm not buying it at $9k because I don't like the theme period and the tactics are more arrogant and sleazy than Stern imho
But congrats to anybody laying down $9k for a 6,999 version
Whatever floats your boat
Wow, so it's $9500 shipped, no thanks
But, it's still great to have another option
Stern with Star Wars is gonna blow this out of the water for MUCH less money
They obviously rushed this out. JJP always said they would be ready to ship when announced and now it's 2nd quarter?
I also think Alien and the next Spooky will blow this away too
Mostly on price
I agree, MAYBE $7k on secondary market. I've got a Woz le and can barely get that now
Good luck with this bath
Quoted from brundaged:Jack said in the presentation this would ship Q2 of 2017, so April-June of next year. Am I correct in thinking that you'd have to pay in full for the LE by December 31, but delivery could be up to 6 months later?
That BS ain't gonna fly
Quoted from Pinball-Pat:Caution!
Conspiracy Theory Below:
I really have a problem with them calling it an LE, with the potential of 6900 pins being made. But they needed to to justify the price increase. Why not just say, "We have increased the quality of our standards past our old LE levels and the prices will reflect this. True LE's will also be available." Unless the standard is still on the way, the same way stern likes to sneak the premium in after sales slow. My gut tells me a standard is in the not too distant future. 3 table options, and the LE folks won't feel stepped on like they did with WOZ and the Ruby Red edition.
Case Closed.
Stupid beyond belief. Even when they blew up TH to 1500 they knew better to call it a "Special Edition" SE
Razor is right, maybe JJP really means LE stands for "Latest Edition" because we all know they will milk whatever they can bilk out of it later.
Quoted from pinlosopher:Does Stern pay you to post this stuff in JJP threads? I'm actually curious.
25 cents a post actually. I trying to pay for this stupid JJP price.
Actually, i got accused of being a JJP fan boy kool aid drinker for years. So the real answer is F NO.
Quoted from o-din:If it's 6, 60, or 600, Jack laid it all out in plain English so there are no surprises this time. And I respect that.
No comprende señor?
Nuthugger status.
A couple of dozen nut huggers and the other 476 people that put a deposit down pre announcement are running for the exits!
Quoted from indybru:I played the game and it fun and probably great. I would definitely consider buying. I am not wild about the price but the value is much better than GB LE's imho.
I just don't like the idea of spending so much in one pin.
Why not spend the $$$, they are only theoretically making 6,999. Yeah, that's some major value right there. What a joke
Quoted from Vino:Did they have LE and Collector version to play?
Other than plaque/ signatures what are the true differences?
Nothing. Lunch with Jack and Pat, not kidding.
This reminds me of TBL and everybody trying to convince themselves how great it is despite the stupid price.
Good luck with that. 250 or so TBL's? Maybe there are enough people to get to that #? There you go, a true LE
Quoted from pinballer0415:They aren't necessarily making 6,999 of these. If they sell that many, great. But the reasoning behind 1-6,999 was that customers were asking for higher numbers as their game number.
Really, you believe that shit?
I get the fact that there will be many more "LE's" after the fact, down the road, but that is a pathetic excuse!
Quoted from bigd1979:its a freaking toy
Get in line. $9500. A F ing joke for 7000 limited editions.
I might buy yours for $6500 next year
And you are one of the biggest daily whiners
Quoted from bigd1979:at least you get a fully loaded full featured pin from jjp unlike other companies for the same money.
Hey, the proof will be in the pudding, that's for sure.
Jack said he would sell all 6,999 easily.
The few hundred that actually buy it might actually have an LE
The stupidity and arrogance of dropping ONE version of a pin for the low low price of $9500 is insane. Oh but if you don't like that one, ante on up to the $12.5 k version. Pay now, get it before Xmas.
I can't believe you guys are trying to justify this $$$, you know its all BS, take the blinders off
Quoted from bigd1979:Who cares about the limited edition bs..... It all just artificial and is just so these companies can get your money.
Are you seriously listening to what you are saying or even putting some thought to it?
I don't begrudge anybody wasting their $$$ any way they see fit. I blow a lot myself.
But a few people trying to justify stupid pricing is just not very smart.
TBL, here we come.
Quoted from bigd1979:What the hell are you talking about.....your buying a batman remake for 9500 so what is the freaking difference on us buying a jjp pin? At least jjp's is new , loaded with tons of new stuff and is totally new from ground up.
I use to love reading your posts and thoughts ice but since the batman66ve release you have been just way annoying and just a dick if anything bad was said about your precious bat66 ....
Ok Big D..., lets make a wager, put your $$ where your big mouth is, buy your Phoned In JJP today and I'll happily take my BM66 and this time next year I'll bet you $5k that my Batman retains more value as a % than this POS.
The tired old JJP is "loaded with tons of new stuff" is ridiculous, especially at $9500! It's a STUPID argument, yet if you like the pin, then just buy it. Get the $12.5k version.
They are arrogant and sleazy with their "LE" latest edition models and those chickens are about to come home to roost.
Yes, I know I've been very annoying, because I'm very annoyed right now myself with the whole bunch of BS!
Quoted from bigd1979:hell i just bought a restored mb and afm for crazy money , u know y bc i enjoy playing them and its what i wanted . The jjp pin looks like a deal to me considering what i and others spend on older pins with not half the features jjp pins have
I get it, that's why i bought Woz for $6500 5 years ago.
It's whatever floats your boat. I'm happy for you and anybody else that gets it and loves it for whatever reason.
I acknowledge that I'm stupid for paying $9500 for a BM66LE but its just beyond belief that people can justify this pin for $9500 as a great deal because it has a lot of "stuff" in it.
Prices are a joke for both BM66 and this one. At least Stern isn't so arrogant to not offer up another version like the premium at a much lower price.
That is what annoys the F out of me with JJP, but maybe that's just me, I doubt it.
Quoted from Eskaybee:You need to chill iceman, this isn't a pissing match. Your starting to sound like cpt Kirk.
As for my 2 cents of irrelevance:
If I had $9k to drop on a pin, based on both BM66 and DI videos and reveals, I'd get the Dialed In. I love sterns, but $ for $, JJP has the better pin and puts more effort code wise; not to mention DI looks like an overall great game with a lot of fun innovention and depth. But like always, I reserve right to Change my mind when I actually play these
Why say that when you wouldn't drop a dime on either? Just ridiculous commentary. You chill out.
Quoted from bigd1979:I buy pins to play and enjoy not worry about its worth down the road
You and me agree on that.
I realize BM66 isn't for everyone, I don't care and that's not what i'm saying.
You make stupid statements like the "latest Stern with a lack of features", yet it will sell 100x more than Phoned in.
Like i said, the dick/stupid comments are out in full force so go with what you like and let the chips fall where they may, I'm done banging my head agains the wall.
Quoted from Eskaybee:Hey man, I'm more chill than ice. You may want to go check the mirror though, you got some weird white stuff on your nose.
Uhhhh, i don't think so. I've never smoked anything in my life, but you might want to check that crack on your nose before you make those kind of allegations.
You don't like my opinions just ignore it and "chill out"
Quoted from jwo825:This game plays Amazing. BM66 didn't get one flip and Aliens was plagued with technical problems, yet BM66 and Alien buyers are declaring their respective game's superiority.
Nobody is declaring anything. Other than the bunch of d...ks in the BM66 thread
What a bunch of F ing hypocrites
Good night and F off
Quoted from Eskaybee:Well in all seriousness since you didn't pick it up from my first post, I was telling you to chill out as a bro, not a dick. But whatever, I'm out for now.
Ok, me too, sorry SKB, I'm out, f the rest of you d..ks that have been crapping all over the BM66 thread for 4600 posts
That includes you Jackneda. What a f ing DB phony
Tax filing deadline has me stressed out.........
Quoted from jwo825:but give the pin an honest look and judge it for its design and play and not what you think about Jack's business practices.
It might be great, play great, I'm sure will be coded great with Keith and Ted. Could be the greatest pin ever. I love old Lawlor pins
There you go. I have said it many times.
Now go post in the BM66 thread again
And yes, a Star Wars anything, Stern or otherwise, will blow this out of the water based on theme alone. I don't think that is too much of a stretch.
Quoted from jwo825:I just fail to see how a cross thread counterattack is helping either game, or the Pinside atmosphere as a whole. If you got the dough and you like the game go for it. Just ignore all the negative stuff in the BM66 thread. Starving trolls die.
I agree, you are right. Just got a little aggravated. It's a bit frustrating what is going on with these prices with both parties. Trying to make sense of it makes no sense. I totally acknowledge the craziness of buying a BM66LE or SLE too.
Btw, sorry Jim!
