The gold trim is ugly, but I like the art on the Gold Edition. If this was priced at $5700, like any normal pro, I would have no trouble pulling the trigger.........but at $7600, I will be passing. Mamma didn’t raise no fool!

One Distro is wanting to trade a Beatle's Diamond for a Porsche 911. Is that a joke?

He "only has 2 available"........

Redo a classic as a classic, Seawitch is Seawitch, leave it that way, the same as Fathom is Fathom, leave it that way, Quicksilver is Quicksilver, leave it that way. etc, etc, etc

So true.

Yes, the license per game cost more.

But looking at the re-skin, BOM must be lower than a standard pro.

And coding, well, it's not going to be same depth etc so that has to be cheaper.

Lonnie on code?

Anyway, any price higher than a standard pro is for mugs only!

I just looked it up and can't believe the prices on 914 Porsche these days. It was a glorified VW. I had one in high school and it looked good but was a crappy car. The prices back then were much much less than $10,000. At least the parts are a little easier to get now with the internet.

What’s he need with 2 911’s? I guess if he can get them for $14k he’ll give one to his gf.

Value or what an item is worth is very subjective.

An item is only worth what people are willing to pay and there are plenty who will pony up for this and many other luxury items.

Because the latter Elvis stuff was not as **rockin* for a fast, SR pinball machine.

"Come Together" is a slow tempo song for pin.

The tempo has to match the action on the playfield.

Man u r way off here. If the early Beatles and early Elvis is "rockin" and the latter is not then I have to assume u r hearing impaired. 70's Elvis has some very fast numbers and he put together one of the best bands in history. I'm not a big Beatles fan but I do know there library and more than enough decent pin music to work with after the Bowl cut era.

You are right, I can't believe that Stern did not choose to have a single song play over and over instead of 9 rockin' early Beatles songs.

Hmmm. I’m thinking a whole lot of smaller Distros wouldn’t drink this 10 pack

Way too much risk

Plus, why would you want to be a part of F ing other people at these prices

There is no requirement to buy the 10 pack.

Smaller distros can just do the usual single Stern drop-ships like they always do.

Not what I hear from them

So a “smaller distro” can just drop ship a Diamond or Platinum without committing to 7 Gold?

I’m sure it will come to that eventually but not now

The Diamonds are rewards for those distributors that buy the 10 packs.

Just like you buy a case of a certain doll, they include a single "ultra rare doll" that the anime dealers can sell at a premium.

My distro has sold through two 10 packs, so that means he got 2 diamonds and got to "earn some actual money for once" by selling them.

Exactly, you and I and the rest of Pinside could drop ship Gold versions for them. No Distro needed
