FOMO ( or using customers to crowd fund r&d) is so ingrained in the pinball "pre-order" model that its a given. As irksome as it is, its an integral feature of the general business of small niche products now.

Quoted from Pinchild:Oh I just figured you love old school.
No worries.
Pin on good sir
yep i do and i love the haggis guys too.. one in particular is a good friend of many years. Im certainly a fan but not in a position to be a customer.
Quoted from punkin:Limited to 250 Mermaids. Can't see how they couldn't become hard to get.
On the other hand I'm not sure what will happen to the pricing on my Bally Fathom and i don't need two fathoms.
current au private seller market, 7-10 depending if you want it gone or want to wait for someone who doesnt care what it costs and just wants it.

Quoted from roar:The drop off of games I personally think will sell at this price point is really steep after Fathom and Centaur. Just one man's opinion of course.
EBD absolutely would .. (added - EK would too) .. but after that i agree theres a slope
Quoted from cooked71:Ebd (not LE) is really hard to find down here - I’d guess most of them would sell locally.
^^^^^ this is why @roar. Without even trying I could sell a couple a month to cashed up 60yo's who played it new.
None of them have another pinball. I dont disagree at all with your data relating to your market. Its just that im in a different one 
Quoted from russdx:At those prices must be cheaper to import? even with the shipping plus taxes? That game goes for £1500-£2500 here in the Uk depending on condition.
Ukp2500 Is aud4700. Plus say 1400 to bring it air. Plus 500 to 1000 to fix whatever’s wrong. Plus 10%vat. Uk is actually higher than here realistically
Quoted from Our_Man_in_Oz:If you've paid $A1000 on shipping you've paid too much. I can do sea freight for $500 for example
500? you're comparing door to door air with either just the actual freight component of lsl . or the cash price for a spot in an illegally mixed box with no separate BOL.. apples v apples or it doesnt make sense.
it seems like you really believe whatever all that means. Perhaps you may need to reflect on the context and audience as it seems to be a long way out of phase with excitement over a small niche vendor and frankly no one here knows what you're on about.
back to haggis now.

Quoted from Roostking:I was just curious what made haggis decide to remake Fathom? Is the game a personal favorite of his or what was the motivating factor behind this particular title? If anyone knows.
yep i know ....
In the early days of 'Haggis' Damian was contacted by a custom pinball restorer here (a huge classic bally fan) about supplying their paintwork/artwork/printing/cabinets etc.
he taught a still "very new to pinball" Damian about these "old" bally machines, explained why he believed them to be the golden era and suggested there would be a market to remake these classics…
While working on Celts and developing fathom he setup a "bally" room with the machine options for the 5 series to show the rest of the haggis team so they could all be played and options compared
It will be interesting to see haggis future offerings now they're no longer working together and dont have the same experience backing them for the others in the series.
making pinball is hard.
