    If they wanted to keep the small line busy in April and May why not plan another 160 Pirates into the initial run? Was their market forecast suggesting Pirates would be that big a dud? Maybe so. I don’t think YBR was a last second stop gap, I think they wanted to test the successful Stern model; de-content and raise prices.

    Wonder what/if they’ll take out of Pirates to reach that $11,500 price point on a re-run? I supposed they could turn the chest into static toy that was just a virtual lock.

    I think the difference between YBR and Beatles is that Beatles was all new. Not an existing game where they decontented the most important area of a game, the play field, then priced it up $2000. If they had taken Batman Dark Knight, removed the crane, and then charged more that would have been closer. But they didn't, they made BM66, all new art, rules, sound and an LCD.... and then charged more.

    I believe if JJP had just left the monkey and committed to a lower than ruby red build count (500?), that rarity and all the new bling would have justified the higher price to most. As always, just my two cents.
