Anyone have any more info on this? I put $200 down on an LE with Pinballstar, so I just need to know if I’m locked in to the $9500 price or if I’m now going to have to pay $10,500.

Quoted from extraballingtmc:Wtf?! Must be some mistake?
They probably took everyone’s advice when they were clamoring for more POTC’s to be made at a higher price. F’it just raise them all.
Easy cash grab with all the backlogged orders can’t say I blame them, test the old price elasticity a bit.

JJP just fucked all people waiting on SE and LE games: http://store.jerseyjackpinball.com/Games/Guns-N-Roses/Guns-N-Roses-Collectors-Edition-Pinball-Machine.html

$7750 for a SE? Yeah ok.
I don't remember ever seeing a price increase this high all at once. Pretty crazy.
I played GnR last weekend and thought it was great, but man, how high can these prices keep climbing? I know demand is through the roof on this one, and no doubt this had a lot to do with them raising the price by $1k..."because they can."

Quoted from Deez:Call your distributor and ask. This is a shit move by JJP.
Major shit move. Raise your price between games. Not in the middle of a run. Just bad form IMO.
Will be interesting to see what Jersey Jack does here. Honor the price for people that have deposits already, or refund and require you to be in at the new price. GNR is a great pin, but would be very unfortunate for Jersey Jack not honour the price for individuals already waiting, especially with the delay's already being experienced on getting into peoples hands. Maintain goodwill, or destroy it..........
I can tell you right from the get go.
UK consumer law, I’ll be covered. If the Distro decides he is hiking the price, I’ll get my deposit back. I really want my GnR...but I’m a stubborn twat, out of shear principle, I’m not getting fleeced, I’ll cancel my order.
Stern did it to Elvira so why not right. Way too much for the SE for what you get. Fuck that BS to both Stern and JJP, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
What kind of company increases the price of their product when you cannot even get their product and they cannot even tell you when they will ship their product.
F**k you jjp. First you screw your distributors and their loyal customers on the gnrce and now this. It’s a cool game and I was gonna get one but now I’ll pass.
Quoted from Sako-TRG:Makes you wonder if JJP have done this deliberately to slow down the orders, call me sceptical. The production line and staff must be exhausted.
Supply and demand. Best pin ever made. Loaded with assets and toys. Stern is charging 9200 for led zeppelin which is a barren turd. Of course they raised the price and everyone will pay it. Surprised if they don't raise it to 11.5k game is worth it.

AC/DC LE was $6600 shipped. We bitched. A few years later, STLE was $7700 shipped. We bitched. Then Stern dropped the $12,500 B66. We bitched.
But...they...kept...selling. $12,500 became a norm. DLC $1000 toppers are becoming a norm. Us "old timer" hobbyists think it's stupid, but the buyers are there & don't seem to care.
I don't think I'll ever buy a NIB pin ever again...not because I can't, but on principle. I'd rather just keep playing my pins that cost "nothing" or my Nintendo Switch lol...all these new pins, no matter how expensive they are, are still untested & unfinished when shipping. Nah...I'm so far past the "paying to be the guinea pig" line at this point.
Sit back, let the NIBNEWBS & addicts waste their money...when they get bored & purge, maybe pick something up. 
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Stern did it to Elvira so why not right. Way too much for the SE for what you get. Fuck that BS to both Stern and JJP, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
The Elvira price increase at least was over a year after production started so maybe it could be justified. It certainly wasn’t an increase in price on the initial orders.
Quoted from Deez:TO THE MOON!!!!
Pins aren't STONKS! 
This reminds me of another last minute thingy that happened to us pre order guys with another pin...but, lets not go there again
Quoted from thedarkknight77:What kind of company increases the price of their product when you cannot even get their product and they cannot even tell you when they will ship their product.
Pinball....oops, manufacturing, thats who.
BOHICA
Quoted from TheLaw:I'm so fucking mad I wont forgive them for like 5 whole days!!!
But seriously people, these are INDUSTRY AWARD WINNING machines, what did you expect?!
Why can't someone from JJP explain within reason why they jacked the price, I think we deserve that at least. Just jacking up the price with no explanation makes me realize JJP thinks I'm a jackass!
Quoted from extraballingtmc:Jjp go brrr

Gnr is the GOAT!
Sad to see hard working loyal businesses going under during this pandemic while pinball manufacturers are offering poor shipping and production numbers, while cuting corners and jacking prices.
shame
Quoted from Indusguys:Why can't someone from JJP explain within reason why they jacked the price, I think we deserve that at least. Just jacking up the price with no explanation makes me realize JJP thinks I'm a jackass!
Same reason they can’t acknowledge the distributor issue or the production speed issue- they don’t give a rats ass about the costumer.
Demand for pinball has been through the backbox lol.
I advertise repairs only on my site. I get several calls a week for games. Even voicemails at midnight people wanting to buy. Not justifying price increase just highlighting an unprecedented demand. Jjp may put a couple extra mil in their pockets. Some may be upset but jjp will still sell in this environment.
Boy that blows. I once said I’d never pay $8k for a game. But I did last year for MMr. Never thought I’d pay $9.5k for a game but had considered it this year for GnR and decided if I ever had to pay that for a GnR I just might.
$10.5k? GTFO! Bad move JJP.
Ya, this is a very bad move with JJP... I would cancel and not order at all. But looks like demand is to high, and they just said screw it. cut down a ton of orders, they don't seem to care. This is wild, Stern did this to? Never heard about it. Not liking the future precedent this is setting. I think the awards got to their heads. I'm done buying knew games after Alien.
Class action might be possible, Once deposit is down... It's a done deal.
I saw OPs post before dinner and said this guy has to be wrong. I saw this thread blew up and knew JJP actually jacked the price 1k.
Wow. Poor showing by JJP on this. Not mid run.
As an owner of GnR LE, it's as if we got a 1k discount but it shouldn't be done this way. I also laugh when I think about how much JJP would charge for a rerun of pirates. I own that as well and next to each other it's a night and day diff. All the lights in the world can't change real toys, layout and widebody goodness. The price on pirates would have to be 4-6k more.
