Quoted from stretch2:Remember when Stern made one version of a new pin? It was priced reasonably and was usually produced until either demand dropped or copyrights ran out.None of this craziness with the LE feeding frenzy and high price flipping before the machine ever goes out the door.
Remember when Stern was teetering on failing because margins were so thin that a single dud was risking a fatal blow?
Remember when they were so cost conscious we got crap games and all the good ideas got left on the table? Well... now with higher prices being validated by the market they are putting them in the game.
