Will be interesting to see if this really fetches double the retail price.

If I had to make a bet I would say it won’t, but then again I’m often called out as a pessimist.

Personally I think it looks out of place and ugly on top of the game. Although the craftsmanship is certainly top notch.

GLWFlipping for double.

Its a shameless money grab and for a topper no less.

It's expensive because it's more fun than the game it sits on.

Does it move...?

I know no one cares what I think. But I think this topper is hideous. It’s way to big and just flat out gross.

Just because it's limited doesn't mean it's worth anything. If you can sell a $5000 pinball topper then my hats off to you.

It might move your Johnson.

Your wallet. It moves your wallet.

Only when you sell it.

I've never been a topper guy, but some people love them. I honestly don't get it...Anyway, I would certainly be curious to know if anyone actually buys this thing and what it actually sells for? Usually the final sale price is not listed when the add is closed unfortunately.

I kind of agree. I wouldn't call it hideous per se, but seeing it on the game, I'm not sure I really like the way it looks. I think you're right though, it would be better if it was scaled down like 75%.

I'll give you the 20 Walmart Dollars that it's worth.

"It is with such unfortunate circumstances"............ that you don't know how to use a tape measure. You could have avoided this "unfortunate circumstance" if only you could have circumnavigated this problem. But alas, if only, if only you had know how to navigate the complicated workings of......... the tape measure. OH THE HUMANITY OF IT ALL!

QSS

Come on now, you guys are getting a little mean here.

Does the deluxe edition also fog? Your game looks incredible by the way.

No

Back in my day you could buy an entire Met Pro for $5000….

Anyone who’s ever seen the real Ark in Raiders will agree that the size of it to the handles and lid are waaay out of scale… It almost looks like a Funko-pop version or something.

No comment on the price although anyone defending 5k is out of their mind. I don’t have any issue with someone putting it up on the marketplace though - why not. I did the same with my GB topper and actually pulled it back b/c I would miss it too much. So topper sickness is real.

The problem for me is that the topper is WAY too big and looks bad. Too gaudy. It’s so clear the topper wasn’t made for the machine. I liked the Hobbit topper for what it was although even that, I wasn’t overly impressed. So far, from what I’ve seen - I’ve been disappointed which is why I never bought one for my IJTPA.

The schill videos about these toppers? Disgusting. It’s what I hate most about this hobby.

Market will dictate the selling price. I’ll never understand why folks need to tell stories to justify listing. It offends those of us who can see what’s going on.

What also offends? Gold paper. 3D printing lines. Grossly out of scale. If I offered my topper for what I paid or a loss those same folks would be pm’ing immediately.

This thing looks so good it’s sacrilegious.

Speaking of Shil videos to go along with this hobby, they just dropped a new POTC pinball topper. Looks neat!

Alternatively there’s this period correct golden typewriter for much less. Just add two mini fog machines from Amazon and DIY your own version.

Haha yeah I’ve seen the video. Although it should have had a paid promotion label, we’re talking toppers and that’s something that Zack (IMO) has been the pioneer in promoting and supporting early on. He’s been 100% right in saying there is a market that continues to be untapped and clearly this topper illustrates why that is accurate. You have to think that at 2500, there was still money left on the table which is crazy but the market has spoken!

Paid promotion label is included! Glad to see.

Delt, take a look at how disappointed Greg is that you missed the Paid Promotion banner on the video. Hahaha. I know you don’t like these types of product videos, but I do appreciate you giving credit for my love of toppers. We had fun making the video and even more fun showing it to the pinball world. Certainly not a product for everyone though I agree.

Truth. Sold out in a few hours. I am in on the decoder ring super secret Elite club thingy.

But will it fit on my pin or just look silly.

Fuck it. I’ll take two.

Paid promotion 4 the win. Get paid but admitting you’re being paid is the stand up thing to do so I’m glad to see it’s labeled as such.

Hmm...seems like we might have finally found the ceiling for the topper market!

I guess 5k is too much. Maybe try 4k? We need to find out what the true number is.
