Same as everything else starting 1/1/2022.

It is that. Got to get while the getting is good. They have way more demand than supply right now. They have to respond with price hikes to take advantage.

Yep. Price hikes blow, but it’s supply and demand, nothing more. They are testing the market just like any other business would that has way more demand than supply. And it’s trickling down to the distributors too. Just have to save up more to buy one. Or buy something else until prices get back to where they are worth it for you. And hope you aren’t just now getting into buying NIB. Haha

Hopefully right at the tippy top! Haha

Or the 60s,70s, and 80s games. Tons of good ones.

Build dates of 1/1/2022 and on have the new price.

Assume QR increase for everything built before year end, then all games being the same price as Zilla after year end.

Should come down to comics to games. Never crowded and always hear the games. Great spot.

True. Hell we had our garbage people forget to pick up half our street for like 3 weeks in a row. Haha. I guess it was new workers not knowing what they were doing or not enough workers. Not sure. But never seen that before.

If you think this is sad, count your blessings. You’re a very lucky person.

Current in stock titles could be anything. Depends on the distro.

Next year all pros newly produced will be 7k

All premiums 9k

All LEs 10.5k

Get big buck Hunter. Very addictive and competitive.

No. Think topper modes.

The arcade.

The topper modes are gameplay related and you have to pay for the topper to unlock them.

Please. This is the most dramatic thing ever. These are toys. No one is taking advantage of anyone. They are offering a product for a price. They are doing nothing wrong. Buy or don’t buy.

People change Jason!

Should talk to Jerry at Pincinnati. He’s been doing this for like 2 years.

Right so how is your transaction relevant to the point you’re trying to make? Maybe cite the last time you sold a game?

But you can trade a game really easily!

Bummer. Where did they say these were going away?

Okay. So nothing is cancelled. Just way behind. Thanks.

Nope. Just your standard forum bitching. People love it.

No they didn’t. Next you’ll say that P3 pushed them to online play.

No it won’t. It could eventually reduce demand, because you know, that’s how economics works. And if that happens, prices will decrease to encourage more demand. Bell curve. Peaks and valleys. That’s how economics and supply and demand work.

Sorry. I’ll stick with supply and demand and basic economics.

It was communicated in the stern army and distributor webinars. You’re not allowed to take pictures or save the slides.

No need to change it until it’s guaranteed all games will not ship until after 1/1/2022. And distributors should be the ones you go to pricing anyway since most charge different.

Please tell me this is a joke.

I don’t think they’ve ever made all of the limited editions of any game. They are usually limited to 5k or something crazy like that.

It happens. After the new GOT update, they ran another 100 pros with the parts left over. 100% true confirmed with Dwight when I visited.

Bingo. The parts weren’t worthless. They need to keep stock on all games. Hell they still had sopranos parts when I needed some like 3 years ago.

English a problem? They have to keep stock of parts for games right? They have all that plus they had parts left over from runs that for cut short due to demand dropping off. Not difficult to understand.

They saw they had about 100 games worth of parts left, called HBO and asked what it would cost to allow stern to make them (license expired). HBO quoted a price, and stern paid.

Just trying to explain a situation I had from my first hand experience. No argument to be had. You can be mad at me, but it happened. Haha

Not sure how much experience you have in the manufacturing industry, but it’s common to have too much inventory of a particular item. Could happen for many factors. Most of the time its a cancelled order or overestimated demand.

I think mushrooms are gross. I own Big Game.

Sorry. I tried.

I say 9999 for a CCr LE.

I don’t have them in all games, but when I do use them they provide much needed relief form the major contrast issues in some games. Especially ones that use all the lights at once to go on and off. It’s impossible for me to track the balls. Additional lighting that is always on, helps me be able to track the balls during those crazy light shows.

I understand this is not how 99.99% of Pinstadium fans use the product. Haha

Or it’s just taking that long to make them. Either way. Your call.

Unfortunately it does. If your game is built and shipped before 1/1/2022, you get just the $300 bump in price. If built and shipped after that, you get the new pricing. Doesn’t matter when you’re paid.

What’s the contract say?

No retroactive price increase. If they have stock of games built before GZ, old price.

Yeah. At the end of the day, distros can charge whatever they want over MAP. Surprised people have stock though.

That’s what it is. But you also have to remember that distros are only held to MAP. They can charge 100k per game if they want. Trent’s prices always go up when he knows he can’t get more of a certain game.

How dare you sell at current market value. Spending all those earnings at Pincinnati I hope?
