I don't know where you're getting your prices from GNR is 15,490 here .

And when I sell my Hobbit I'll get at least what I paid for it .

Wow.
I went and played the game and after playing it , I knew it was special and jumped right on it and I live around the corner from the distributor . Happy days

Maybe , but now they're no longer available the prices have come right up .
Plus we pay more for Pins in Vic

This game is a keeper for me , unless they make the Blues brother's with all the bells and whistles , and I need the money .
Have you seen some of the prices here , 16 k for SS , 19 K for Metallica .
The prices here are mental , compared to the old games , I don't think I'll be losing any money

Exactly .
I could never afford 15.5 k for a new PIN .
But over 20 years , l started with a $200 arcade game , I gradually brought and sold arcade games and pins and worked my way up , now when I sell my Hobbit and saving a few grand I can now get GNR .
Every pinhead on pinside , knew and had an opportunity to put in their order . I've been willing to sacrifice pins I love to get other pins .
It's funny to see some guys who said GNR was overrated , had no flow , to multi ball heavy , ect , now complaining the price has gone up

Settle down mate , jjp put up their prices , Paul had no choice .
Good luck finding a HUO cheaper , no one is going to sell their's for less than what they payed , unless they're desperate for cash .

Paul has been totally upfront with me about the wait . He's filling up containers and shipping them as fast as JJP can make them .
Jjp hasn't given reliable wait times to any of their distributors , there are still day 1 orders to be filled .
Paul is a great guy . I mentioned I had some issues with my Hobbit , he gave me some parts and when they didn't work , he came over and fixed it for free . He didn't even sell me the game .
I'm more than happy to do business with him .

You should try reading posts better . I said he was upfront with me .
How do I know what he said to you , at the time he would have been going off what he was told from JJP .
Don't get your panties in a knot .

What does "cie " mean .

Is that a Canadian thing ?

I assume anything French has La or Le in front of it

I wasn't sure if you were joking or not , I just Googled it too and yep company .

Congrats .
It's the best game currently available by far and is well worth the wait .

Lol , only in America

I totally get the 1k price increase might price some people out .
But to the people who knew about it for months and say they could still afford it , but won't buy it principal well ...
You're missing out on one of the best games ever , and once they sell out , and they will , it will go up by much more than 1,000 bucks

Sorry I'm drunk and not very smart , what do you mean .

You're not going to buy a game because they sold some directly ?
Yes , it was a mess because of how popular the game turned out to be .
But don't forget how the previous titles have sold . I think you can still get Dialled In and Wonka CE'S , I tried to sell my Pirates CE spot for months and months and only had one phone call from a tyre kicker , I got my Hobbit for 1K off because they weren't selling and apparently I brought the last RR Woz , a demo model but then they made more because they needed the money .
Apparently the company has been basically running at a loss from the beginning .
Now they have a big hit on their hands ,they're trying to make the most of it .
I don't blame them for that .
But you're more than entitled to do whatever feels right for you .

Better make that at least 1% .
I'm stoked my game has gone up by $1360 .
Now my wife thinks I know what I'm doing

Lol , when I read that , this is the first thing I thought of . I would love to get over to Chicago and play the dick head tourist and get my photo taken in front of all the BB landmarks .

I sold my Hobbit today . I've had it for over 3 years and got 1k more than what I paid for it .
I'm really sad to see it go but it's only way I could get GNR .
I didn't even advertise it , I just mentioned to a couple people I was thinking about selling it , before you know it , I had a couple offers .
Used game prices are going mental here , like everywhere else . 39k for POTC ce , 24k for Tron le , 21k for Metallica le , 16k for scared stiff , to name a few .
Even with the price rise at $16,850 , GNR nib , seems like good value to me , compared to what is on offer out there .

That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen .
I'd definitely go out of my way to get petrol there .
( and yes , I'm easily pleased )

That would be great Jaybird .
If I ever get over there , I'll definitely take you up on that .
Chicago looks like a great city with lots to see and I would also love to check out expo .

Don't you guys in the US have Consumer Laws , you've been sold a defective product .
Correct me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen you post this in the owners thread , I think you'll get a lot more attention and support there .
I'm surprised jjp didn't sort you out , as I've only seen a handful of dodgy playfields from the first batch .
If you have sold your game that could make things tricky but either way , I hope you get sorted out .

With the way the market is , I'm priced out of second-hand pins , I'll have to stick to new in box .
