Regarding the price of Elvira -- I've owned a BM66 for six months or so and I consider it worth the price, not because of what's on the play field but because of all the work done with the code and the video integration. It's really a masterpiece for anyone that is interested in the theme. People joke about how long it took to finish the game, but I can only imagine the extra hours Lyman spent on the code and the video clip integration. In this case I'm happy to spend money for his time spent as I truly think its resulted in a special machine (I'm glad I didn't buy it until it was done though).

Is it too much to hope that all the "delays" (at least it seems like its been in development forever) in Elvira have resulted in Lyman spending a ton of time on the code and theme integration with the video/call outs? If so it could create a great pin for all the Elvira fans here that might be worth the higher price point.

suffice to say if you're not entertained by the silliness of campy B movies you're probably not going enjoy this pin. Personally, I think the theme integration is awesome (or at least holds great promise). Maybe not enough people enjoy this kind of stuff to make it a successful pin, but I actually think there are a couple thousand pinheads that would like it. I think the big problem is that it is such a departure from the first two Elvira pins and that's what a lot of people here associate her with and just wanted another spooky based theme with tons of sexual innuendo. Not my thing, but I can see why people would assume the third pin would be more like this.

Yeah, I put that poorly, I didn't mean to say that this pin shouldn't have a lot of innuendo, I just meant that the early pins had nothing to do with campy B movies (from what I recall from pinball arcade). I agree that it's disappointing that a pin this expensive would not be far along in the code department by release. I won't buy a pin unless the code is done (or at least 95% done). I LOVE bm66 but it would have been a terrible experience if I had purchased it near launch.
