Fixed the poll to offer a forth option which might actually end up the winner.

Quoted from Bublehead:

Ok, wanted to respond to this phoenixpin, but I promised to do my price complaining shit in here.
So I would ask, to better clarify, if this is not a sign post for Twilight Zone pricing, is it not a speed bump or blip on the radar to make you pause?
If they can’t build Godzilla’s fast enough, and they are backed up on the line, then why are they building anything else? Well, parts obviously. Ok, so we got a parts shortage and a great license, how do we maximize profits?
The answer is in what they are trying to sell at $20000 with nothing in it, in my opinion, and if we accept it, why try making another Godzilla ever? If parts supplies level out, maybe we see more Godzilla’s at the $10k mark, but recent increases on cornerstones and price increases on games on order is another part of the “cash grab” equation.
That’s my outrage in a nutshell. Yes, you may not be able to infer what they will do on cornerstone release pricing next time based on this niche market darling, but I bet (and would place a friendly wager) it will be with a price bump and/or lower BOM. It’s a chilly day in hell when they get me to buy this for 20k, your opinion may differ, and I’m ok with that, I’m not mad at anyone except $tern management right now for dropping this turd in the pinball gutter.
