Quoted from porkcarrot:I guess that's where I don't get it, and maybe it's just that I tend to be a bit more frugal. But all this extra stuff doesn't come close to justifying the cost. Things like powder coating, signatures, and different side art add $0 worth of value to me. I agree some of the toys and lights are cool and probably do make it more fun when actually playing it, but not thousands of dollars worth. I'd rather use that extra money to buy another machine or two. But I guess if you have excessive expendable income, have at it.
Some of us also have very limited space for pins, so want to get as much as we can into each one. Another machine or two isn’t always an option.
