Let’s face it people GNR just devalued all machines

Yeah? $1000? For some wires? You’re a dork. Lol.

Yah check out my $1000 cables that I use to play music that sounds like shit like early Rolling Stones or Beatles records etc.

Most of these guys spend more on their gear than the bands spent making the records they play and obsess over.

My favorite part of this thread is when Pinsiders got lambasted for buying 5 figure pins.
Sure hope that guy doesn’t visit any of my audio forums. People pay as much as pin on speaker cables alone. Hell, an “audiophile” grade ac outlet you put in instead of the dollar one, can run over a hundred bucks, and absolutely can make the sound better.

Hmmm...'Audiophile' grade AC outlet. That explains a lot. All these years I thought I just sucked at playing pinball. Now I realize it was just my AC outlet. I need to buy some of those fancy ones.

Exactly.

Luckily I’ve never paid $15k for a pin (or anywhere close to it) or ever bought a topper, so I don’t fall into that category.

That's true. I still think GNR is an incredible machine and one of my favorites but I think a lot of people bought off hype alone. And the early playfield issues certainly didn't help the matter. It's a relative bargain today considering Stern Premiums are $9k plus.

Typical for JJP games....they will probably recover (or come close) once the game goes out of production, and the dealers get rid of all their inventory.

Quoted from thedarkknight77:
After watching the videos, it’s very clear that GNR offers something truly exceptional and unique. I love my Stern games, but damn they seem outdated when I look at what Eric did with GNR. Congrats to all those who were able to sell your games before the GNR release. I think used prices will drop as GNR drains the market. Its obvious now why Stern was so quick to release Avengers. If I was Stern, I wouldn’t release Zeppelin anytime soon.

Guess this post didn't age well. LOL. I see more JJP GNRs for sale than any other new game. People can't get rid of them. Confusing shitshow that game turned out to be.

This is what happens when people declare "the greatest game of all time" and have never even played it.

Conversations went like this:

Guy who prepaid for one- This is the greatest game of all time and will change the industry blah blah.

Me- have you played it?

Guy who prepaid for one- no but look at all that stuff on it.

FWIW GNR LE is the one game I added to my collection in the last year, it plays great, no regrets.

Is it a "forever" keeper game that I will still be jamming on in 10 years? I don't know, ask me in 10 years .

Buy what you like, and enjoy it. And if you play something enough that you don't need to play it more, then pass it on and pick up something new or buy a different category of toy with your $$$. This is not high stakes life or death stuff.

Have to agree here regarding Led Zeppelin, they should have gotten the Elwin team on this unbelievably amazing title. The LE would be a $25k plus game right now.
A buddy bought a Led pin, couldn't sell it for 3 months, took a $2000 Canadian loss on it in the end and had to pay for the shipping on top of that! LMFAO.
What a rip off of a game for the price, Gary must have been laughing his ass off all the way to the bank on this one. wouldn't give a squirt of piss for it, even if it came with a "live in person" concert from the band themselves. hmm, maybe a little squirt. Haha! Just my 2 cents, 2 cents for free.

Yes, considering those are two of Stern’s best and without good code they’d just be average titles like
So many other Borg games.

Anybody who played the early code on those machines knows the difference it made.
