This is what concerns me. If locations aren't making money, then we won't see pins in the wild.

As far as me personally, I always have to ask what else could be done with the money? If a LE costs 15k...would I want that, or an extravagant vacation...or car...or an investment opportunity?

There is also the quality vs. price. As an Example, I'm a HUGE James Bond fan, but at that price...it had better be perfect. I just can't get past that wobbly rocket. It looks idiotic. If there were an awesome mech in there...I could possibly justify the price. As such, even as a big fan, I won't be getting it.

The thing is...Bond is a SUPER DESIRABLE them for so many.

Pinball, of course, is addicting. I'm guessing these price points aren't sustainable, however. They will have to be top tier themes every time, and that isn't happening.

I think many of us don't necessarily feel 'priced out' as much as we feel 'valued out'

Any item, regardless of its' audience, pricing, or usefulness...has a perceived value. Once that line has been crossed, it's game over.

I'm in the business of buying and selling, and I can certainly tell you that some people are just idiots.
