So given JPOP has finally started showing us Magic girl, who would consider buying it? Despite the frustration many have faced with the production timelines, I think we all can agree on a few things.

1. JPOP has an amazing skills as it relates to designing pinball machines.
2. None of us want to see JPOP go tits up.
3. Creating a limited run game of only 19 units does nothing to advance pinball.
4. Without additional backing to get this game done, it may never get produced.

PS, Not knowing the margins or economies of scale, I am not sure my production/costs numbers align with reality. I am just trying to see what interest would be out there.

I thought I heard they are making around 20, I think someone mentioned the most recent buyers paid $18,000????

No machine is worth more than $8000 in my book. I would never consider it. The most I have ever paid for a machine is $6300. I get the whole limited edition concept, I just don't trust it as I have been burned in my other hobbies. When Big Bang Bar remakes are selling in a few years for $8000 I will thank myself for not buying into the hype. It's the lesson of the Walking Dead Premium all over again. Where there is money to be made, it will be made. It doesn't matter how many JPOP makes, if he dies and his wife sells Zidware, who's to say the new owner won't make another 500???
