Quoted from teekee:It's whatever you want it to be... Some of you guys definitely relish these opportunities. Sad lives some have.
Like relishing the opportunity to try and convince people they should pay $13,000 for the BIB you bought for under 8K?
Quoted from teekee:I DEFINITELY relish that!!!!!!!!!!! Got anymore dorky polls?
Yeah, the next poll will be, how much did you lose on the resale of a game you bought from Teekee?
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:YES! More Avengers disinformation exposed and shot down. Well done. Where are these "cheap" Avengers plastics? They specifically made the plastics for AV to be cheaper than all their other games? Freaking preposterous.
The assumption on Avengers and Transformers ramps being cheaper is based on the manufacturing process, and limiting the process to laser cutting of flat plastics. My understanding (I have programmed CNC laser machines in the past, and now work in injection molding) is that every game gets CNC cut flat plastics, if they are able to eliminate the process of traditional ramps and use flat plastics for the ramps, it will be a cost benefit to the manufacturer. That does not necessarily equate to a cheaper product, but the intent was likely to reduce the cost.
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:It believe it was a design decision because Gomez wanted something different, that included artwork on the length of the ramp.
Yes, this is also true and it is close to what he has said publicly about the flat plastic ramps. You will likely never here anyone at Stern admit to the other reason for the design change. Manufacturing cost savings. I'm not knocking it. Those ramps are brilliantly engineered, they are like the ikea of pinball ramps.
