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.

ok - glad to hear it's on new orders.

I still think a 1k jump is way too much all at once though.

Market won't care - idiots buying toppers for 2k. So in the end, if I'm in the JJP accounting department, I'm doing the same I guess. These companies will continue to price gauge us if we continue acting like idiots.

Just got off the phone with JJP.....

They told me now that their playfields don't chip and are defect free, they're imposing a 1k price increase....b/c why not. Then the person abruptly ended the call by saying BUY BUY BUY toppers are selling for 2k BUY BUY BUY and get ready for DLC suckers.

very interesting. We might need another awards show to figure this one out.

already there. have two open offers on my LE just shy of 20k but I just can't pull the trigger. Mine is really loaded though. Price will only increase. JJP isn't making them again.

Well to be fair, the original JJP really brought the toys with woz and potc being amazing examples.

New JJP I do agree, weak sauce with the toys.

This is the new jjp. I think you're thinking of the old Jersey Jack pinball out of NJ. That company I would expect toys and gadgets etc. This company has clearly changed their strategy. It started with Wonka, continued with GnR and I would be very surprised if it doesn't extend to TS.

I still appreciate their games but loaded widebodies are dead

I agree. After seeing this GnR price grab and their approach for newer games, POTC is staying. I don't think you'll see a game like that again unless they decide to issue a special run which that case will be a ton of money any way. Way too much of a headache to produce and for who? People in this hobby spend a ton of money of toppers and empty games. Why would they even bother?

At the same time though, as an owner of GnR LE, you now need to price this into resell otherwise, you're even dumber than the people buying toppers for 2k.

but they're stuck with that purple inferior artwork ; )

Speaking of CEs, if I was someone that wants one, the market is starting to flood with them as I expected (majority bought to flip). Just let these guys compete against themselves for a month or so and then step in.

oh Levi..... Munsters and Stranger Thing prices are in the toilet. I know you love stern but cmon now son.

7200 for a LE is great right?

Check the marketplace.

OK - that makes sense. I agree with you - pro is always the best price point and will be pretty rock solid price wise.

Nah - people in pinball have disposable cash. A lot of it.

I love you Derrick but demand definitely increased bc production stopped. Yes the game is also awesome and loaded but people love a good rare pinball

You're exactly right. People that doubt the value you added don't understand the situation with WoZ. Light boards will fail eventually with anything but 2.0. to install is a pain in the ass.

WoZ in generally has really started to go up in value recently and ones with 2.0 even more. Derrick is 100% right

just the beginning. People need to hold off and let the market saturate. So many flippers just dying to list theirs

I have to agree. Why would jjp address this via Twitter? In fact why would they address it at all? They know people in this hobby are idiots and spend 2k on toppers..... so they “Jack” it up 1k. That’s it. Continue being stupid and it’s another 1k before Labor Day.

I'm late to the party - noticed this thread continues to get bumped and bumped. Then I read what's going on.

What a car wreck haha

Aaaaaaand thats enough for me.
