Just amazing what about 9k after taxes and shipping will get you... Maybe closer to 9,400...
I don't hate the art like how most people do.
But, its very underwhelming. Like everything with this pin has been so far.
And that price tag... Its not going to really do any favors for shipping units. Sure Stern made its money.
I do bet though they get a taste of each unit they do sell though.
And coupled with the fact that you're not going to get any toys or real mechs.
It'll still be just one node board for all the pops.(most likely).
And it's a dmd instead of an LCD. LCDs do not cost that much money. Can get them pretty cheap. I know it would cost a bit more to get the animations done for an LCD than an DMD. But, they could do something more like Alice Cooper, and use more of their existing art assets, and just enhance them or modify them to work...
The only way I would consider this is really 4k... My price went down. I know it won't drop that much, and I don't think these will sell enough to even be on the secondary market. So I think this pin will be unobtainium.
And I think I'm okay with that.
A shame cos I enjoy the movie, enjoy the magazine and LOVE the genre of music. This is one one way ticket to midnight I'm going to have to pass on though.
