    Quoted from PlanetExpress:

    So, like, an increase in MSRP? I feel like a manufacturer recently did so……

    A couple of them at least

    Quoted from JohnTTwo:

    I want to experience pinball to the fullest.
    My question is how can I get top rated machines...How do I go about purchasing a Matalica LE and not paying over MSRP?

    An LE isn't "the fullest" of the machines. Its an exaggerated mark up.

    Quoted from JohnTTwo:

    Should I limit myself to games not costing so much and die with money in the bank?

    You could leave so monies for that family of yours when you're dead

    But I hear ya. It sucks both ways.

    Quoted from delt31:

    Here’s the real question - why do companies like Stern or jjp even need distributors anymore?

    Mostly I'm guessing because this is still new with the hyper-pricing situation.
    Also maybe because we all see & here the new folks spending so much on games, distros are a go between for fixing and dumb shit like setting up a machine.

    Quoted from PoMC:

    Why the HELL would anyone wanna be a pinball distributor and deal with the numerous assholes who flex with a NIB pinball machine?
    .

    Because...

    Quoted from PoMC:

    ....but BUY BUY BUY!

    Quoted from porkcarrot:

    For some reason a lot of people have a lot of trouble with that.

    Oh conversely, they don't have a lot of trouble with it; 10K isn't the same to everyone.
    If I had that much disposable I probably wouldn't care either.

    Quoted from littlecammi:

    Just noting that JohnTTwo owns 14 top A-list games and meets tallkid84's "don't be poor" requirement.

    Just noting you think No Fear is an A-List game
