Quoted from Yoko2una:

Lol "hundreds of dollars"... which in this hobby buys you half a topper and a few spare flipper rubbers. But in all seriousness, disc golf has a SUPER low barrier of entry. Walmart and Dick's are even selling the Innova Starter Packs for like $30 which is more than enough to start playing. Dick's then has a rack of premium individual discs too. But the better deals are online from places like MarshallStreetDiscGolf.com.
You're amazement at the number of discs he buys (which my friends do too!) probably pales to the looks we get when friends see our collections and then learns how much they cost. When I toured the PDGA regionally I ended up with hundreds of discs... but their value back in 2010 was like $10-15/ea. Sure I have a few unthrown rare ones which would be like having a NIB LOTR nowadays... but in that hobby that just means it's like a $150 disc. I could sell my bins of discs and barely buy a players Flash.
I used to compete with a bag of 22 discs. 5 long, 5 med, 5 short (each group having each a very left, left, straight, right, very right flight path), plus 4 special discs, plus 3 backups of discs I couldn't afford losing mid-round. Many do something similar. But if you ever had a Fiddlehead IPA can and see the owner Matty O's name on the back, he's known for basically playing entire tournaments with just a Discraft Meteor (like playing golf with just a 7 iron) and could hold his own in the Pro division. It was cool to watch someone trust one disc for every possible shot.
Ok, that's my disc talk for the day. We haven't seen jack for additional gameplay footage, live stream, or unboxings yet, so there's really nothing else to talk about until then...

If you want a true comparison. The barrier to entry for disc golf is much higher than pinball. Your comparison is similar to going to an arcade and using quarters…. To truly make the comparison you would have to purchase land and build the course as most of us own our pinball machines. We have elaborate games rooms or a small corner in our home.

Looking forward to the bond 60th. It will be available for locals in Reno to play.

I think this pic sums up this thread.

Looks like the pin is shipping the end of the month. Possibly early February as well.

So Kaneda's price prediction for James Bond 60th Anniversary Edition $LE in one year is $12,000.

Stern If you are reading this and If my BDSLE 60th drops in price that much.... I will not buy any more sterns for a long time. Stern will lose customers over this pin if it goes south!

Justifying why you didn’t buy it makes sense to you. You will not find 5-6 high end older games with deeper rules that are just as fun to play as Bond 60th. 5-6 high end older games will cost you more in this market. Nobody know the margins Stern is making. James Bond may be the most expensive license Stern has… who knows.
