Quoted from Methos:

… Art and photos suck … Speaking of art, whoever did the design either has no history/knowledge of the 1960's, nor do they know anything about the Beatles or their work. Probably some millennial somewhere came up with this shit. It's ghastly, and I'm surprised that it was approved by Apple. I mean, you've got some of the best themed art/music packages in history (Hard Day's Night, Help, Revolver, Yellow Submarine, Sgt. Pepper, etc), and you put that out?

sucks?! ghastly?!

Art appreciation is subjective and to each their own, but this criticism seems a bit harsh.

Granted, the art package doesn't reflect actual Beatles album artwork (which surely would have cost mega $$$ beyond the already expensive license rights obtained), but I think it accomplishes what it needs to - a colorful, fun looking, arcade GAME that captures the essence of other mass marketed early Beatles products - within a modern pinball machine geared for sales in a nostalgic sales market.

Just my personal opinion, but FWIW, I think Chris Franchi and Ka-Pow did a great job with this and I will be only too happy to add a Beatles to my gameroom!

Quoted from undrdog:

Doing a quick web search...
$8,299 game room guys Gold
$10,000 Hammer Schlemmer. Either the gold edition or that’s just the photo they used.

At the time of Flip N Out's Beatles stream w/ Mike Vinikour last week, Zach Meny was offering a Beatles Gold "special" of $7,500 w/ free shipping. Sales tax extra presumably.

Quoted from Happy81724:

I would buy one for around 5k as well

Yes - but how much would you pay for a Beatles if Stern had been able to include one of these "certified" actual bed sheet scraps (ala Elvira SLE)???
