For me yes but for many, no. Imagine in the States right now it was 10K for a delivered Stern Pro, would you buy it? The last one I purchased was a JP Pro and that was 8500, that was already 2 high but I wanted one and now at 10K almost I'm out. However Canada and Europe aren't keeping these companies alive its the US market and when that reaches a point where people start passing on NIB the prices will either drop or it dies all together. This whole hobby is running on borrowed time anyway with regards to NIB in my opinion.

Wow is that stupid. Theme is very important when it comes to pinball. Its part of the quality aspect of the game.

Yeah it tells me what I knew from the get go, good layout and decent gameplay but the theme sucks and the childish music/art, terrible looking toys especially the preteen girls cell phone turned people off the game. A good original theme would do just fine, there hasn't been one since the 90's. Well maybe BKSOR, but that didn't sell well due to the "world under the glass" fuckfacitis that is rampant within the pinball community. Its a great game.

I didn't say it could, I said theme is important to the overall appeal. If someone does buy a game based only on theme is just as foolish as buying a game with a theme they hate but its plays well. As for ur little made up qoute which is ridiculous, there nothing left to say.

Damn it
