Unfortunately everything is more expensive these days. That includes the price for Stern to make these games. It's the same reason why $15/hour McDonalds employees means that you will now have to pay $10.00 for a Big Mac meal you used to get for $5.00...

Can't have your cake and eat it too. The economy is thriving and unemployment is low. People have disposable income, which means that everything you buy in the world is going to cost more. In the middle of the next recession, you can buy $5,000 pins again. Of course you won't be able to afford them being out of work and all...

Quoted from Trekkie1978:

Unemployment low?
That would be like say Jon Snow's heavy friend (don't know his name) only weighs 150 pounds, because he isn't counting the other 150.

Yeah so 5 years ago it was 10% and today it's 5%. If you don't have a job today then you work in a bad industry or are lazy... Any "fuzzy math" people like to quote also existed 5 years ago when looking at the 10% figure.

on topic - it's too late to change the artwork, so threads like these are pointless. I'm more concerned with how it plays - people always come up with better artwork and the LE cabinet looks pretty good with the exception of the backglass. Give it a few months and someone will create an amazing one to swap with.

Also looking forward to seeing the premium artwork.

I'll just have to tape a poster to the LE back glass on mine.

you realize how many baby boomers are leaving the workforce due to retirement? A college degree is also a requirement these days so young people are waiting longer to enter the workforce. The participation rate is not a good indicator of unemployment. While the economy isn't perfect by any means, it's still WAY better than it was 5 years ago.
