I tend to agree. The Sweet spot will be in the $17-$18k range. There are not 500 people willing to pay $20,000+ before playing it. 100-200 people? Sure. But not 500 people. No way. Especially in this economy

Yea by January these will be $18,000-$20,000. A few will sell at $25,000. Maybe even $30,000. But there will be a couple hundred sold for less than $20,000
500 of them will be tough to move at $18,000. The first 100 sure. Maybe even the first 200. But if this thread is any indication (filled with hard core pinheads and bond fans) think that $20,000 + is insane . Then what will the rest of the consumers think?? No way 500 machines will sell for $18,000 plus. Especially in this economy
Quoted from TigerLaw:Nah, if they are priced at $18,000 they would sell out immediately. I agree financial times look rough ahead but the lure of Elwin and exclusivity will sell this sucker out immediately.
I wish I was a Bond super fan, I’d be all after one of these. Im just too luke warm to Bond, so I bought a White Water instead.
You think there are 500 home collectors who will pay $18,000 for a machine that they have never played? Remember, this price and machine eliminates all operators. Sorry I just don’t see it happening
Quoted from PinMonk:PLENTY (myself included) paid $15k for the underwhelming Batman'66 SLE (and routed it - so price doesn't eliminate ALL operators) back when LEs were $9k, so yeah, $18k would likely sell out right away. If it's a really great design, I could see it selling out for over $20k.
Ok so you’re a perfect example of their target market. You previously paid top dollar for a machine…. Are you planning on paying $18,000-$20,000 for this one?
Quoted from PinMonk:I told myself never again after I experienced the cheap "extras" of the SLE that fell apart almost right away and the lack of replacement SLE parts for the high-priced machines they were selling. Oh, and 18 months with essentially no game, just a box of blinking lights.
But, well, Elwin this time. So...maybe. But that cabinet is atrocious. I hope it was a placeholder and it will be something a LOT more classy. So my bias is still no, but Never Say Never Again isn't on the 60th, so that might be me filling that slot like a pushy.
Hah makes sense. I just think too many of the top buyers feel “burned” (for lack of a better word) by Batman SLE, Elvira 40th, and the current state of the economy to make them confident enough to buy one right away. We all know that there will always be used games in the future and they likely won’t cost much more
