    Quoted from TigerLaw:

    There is a big mental difference between four and five digit price stickers.

    This.

    Can I afford it? Yes.

    Do I have a mental block at paying $10K for a pin? Yes.

    Will my desire for a NIB JJP pin overcome my mental block? I don’t know.

    Quoted from LTG:

    I want to leave a legacy on Rec Games Pinball, and Pinside.

    Years ago, you responded to one of my very first tech posts on pinside. I was new to pinball, feeling dejected, and wondering what I got myself into. Your very prompt and spot on advice was refreshing and, in a not insignificant way, likely helped keep me in the hobby.

    Several years later, I ran into you at Pintastic and got to thank you in person. And, what did you do then? You mugged me! it was an honor.

    I also wonder, and this is just pure speculation on my part, whether they saw the continual demand for GnR as something that could prevent them from moving on to their next pin. They don’t want to be a company that just produces one pin, no matter how popular or profitable. Their future success requires churning out a new pin regularly. So the price increase slows sales and allows them to move on, all while accomplishing some of the other goals that were just stated.
