Yet you bought it anyways... You are the problem.

Who sells the CE?

Humblebrag much?

Boy, we'll try not to.

Just wonder (for US buyers) are there any additional you must add to the price? VAT taxes etc.?

For Norwegian; we must of course add. Shipping costs and 25% VAT. Total approx 19.500 USD.

Another moment is that the USD is strong very strong (or Norwegian Kr is week) USD has increased 20% since November 2021.

So yes the cost is already up up up ) but it is what it is……….what else can you buy?

I have a feeling you've ordered Punny Factory as well.

Hey congrats on getting a spot. It’s great both young and old get to unite over what’s be todays version of an erector set. My nine year old son would spend three minutes in the first ball and say fuck it and go play with his toys, but that’s todays YouTube generation.

Glad you are doing well while many others are not. Its OK to share your success but don’t rub it in with a new house, car collection, etc. I would love to hear you explain to the IRS how a pinball machine is “essential” to a plumbing business…..yeah there are loopholes in taxes but there is also fraud…..not saying you are committing fraud but it’s a gray area at best.

Now I am going to apply for government aide as I need a new emotional support pinball machine…

You did this same thing with GNR. A specific CE thread. It’s really not needed and just splits the conversation between another unnecessary thread. The LE and the CE are essentially the same game.

We don’t need some “elitist toy story CE only pinball thread”. Trust me bud, everyone knows you have money, you don’t need a CE owners only thread to let people know. You flaunt it loud and proud already.

Could you just close this thread so we don’t have so many Toy Story threads?

I would suggest people not posting here and just using the following thread for the main discussion now. https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/toy-story-owners-clubgt-to-infinity-and-beyond

Oh, last note. Stop texting people at 3am. Not just distributors…everyone. It’s a dick move and not cute.

Congrats! We all know that we should expect your own thread! I am happy for you. Keep doing well. American dream is where it is at. I own my own company. It’s not easy. I can appreciate where you are coming from. Thank you for giving back too!

Pointless willy waving post, what a bloke...

Keep it up! It’s OK to be excited about a game. That is the fun in all of this!!

The big question though…does the coin door on the CE have a matching powder coat?

I second this request. We are all very impressed. You’ve made your point. Time to move on…

Excited for my CE too! Gonna be a fun game and that topper looks awesome

I don’t get it. The guy is excited. Let him be. Why write all of the condensing comments? Almost like he is being bullied. Guys it’s a pinball forum. This is comical.

Because his ego isn't "condensed"... in fact it's inflated to the point he has to always make JJP CE threads so that both you and I know he has money. It's an "all about me" thread under the guise of a pinball thread.

What’s wrong with that though? So what if he has money? I like seeing all of the different things that he has. It is interesting. Good for him. It seems more of a I don’t like him because he has more than me conversation. How many times have people posted things that are expensive on here that have nothing to do with pinball. That answer is a lot! That’s the problem today - people need to find happiness first. I shake my head at Ritchie a lot, but I love that he is part of the personality of this hobby and I embrace that.

I already have #12

Looks like the OP cut out the part of his original post about his new house and 6,000 sq ft garage he is building to house his car collection and some pinballs. Probably a good move .

What’s so wrong with this guy enjoying his purchase?

The narcissism is over the top. Total lack of self awareness. Does it every time. This time lacking the all caps

Where’s the coin door powder coat?

Sounds like a you problem lol

Here I am, trapped into reading 'bout you...

So many hater's in this forum. I own pins from Stern, JJP, AP, Spooky and CG....To each their own. If many of you haven't noticed prices are going up everywhere. Inflation is at an all time high, demand is at an all time high and people keep spending money. Why bash everyone that ordered this pin? I don't get it. Most here are Stern fanboys, I get it. I didn't see people bitching when Stern sold Elvira's 40th for 25k...but yet they sold out...

I thought we were here for the love of the hobby??? It gets old reading through 65 pages of negative comments. If you don't like the title, so be it, don't buy it...

I will gladly sell my number 12 spot for a premium

Nah.

Nobody is bashing people buying this pin, even the OP. What people are bashing is that the OP starts a separate thread every time a new JJP game comes out because he needs to feel special. In this case, the OP even started (not so) humble bragging about how hard he is working, his new house and 6,000 sq ft garage for his CAR COLLECTION and pins, etc. When people pointed this out, he cut all of that out of his original post. That is where the negativity comes from.

Its an owners thread. For the CE.

Anyone who wants a victory lap should get one on this thread -- without getting bashed.

What's the harm in letting him have his thread so he can show off a little? If you don't have anything nice to say then just keep it moving. I didn't read the part about him boasting about his house and car collection since it was redacted by the time I got here but even then why crucify him like a villain? If this post was aimed maliciously at someone or something but it wasn't and it's not hurting anybody. I wouldn't be doing what the OP is doing but I also wouldn't throw stones at him either. One thing my father always taught me to be humble and don't gloat because when you have it, you don't have to flaunt it, people will already know. Just my 2¢ OP.

PS. If I was a certified plumber, I sure know where I would like to work at but that's assuming the games are on free play.

What’s your net worth?

Hey Richie Wrench, I enjoy your enthusiasm for JJP CEs. I loved reading all the posts in the CE thread during the GNR release and loved seeing pictures as they started arriving in people's homes. I never got to own one, but lived vicariously through that thread, so keep your CE thread going!

What exactly does a separate thread for CE do for you that you can’t get in the normal owner’s thread? Talk about the topper? That’s basically the only difference between the two!! WTH

Wait what...? Is there proof this is being done? Totally curious.

Proof of what?

OP....I'd consider closing this thread due to all the other TS4 threads.

There is a drain button if you don't want to see a thread. It's so easy. It's like it was made for stuff you don't want to see.

Judging by the comments in this thread, Reddit must be a ghost town right now.
