Awwww wass wrong? Mad that other people can enjoy more games?

Good riddance to you and your like.

I thought you were leaving, Mr. Elitist. Buh bye

I am blown away that there are people who think this is in any way bad for the hobby. Pinball machines reason for existing is for people to play them, not store away and rub with a diaper after every play. If you're in ANY hobby for an "investment", you are misguided.

More machines, more players = GREAT for the hobby.

Plus, it's not like existing machines are suddenly worth nothing. They have just been brought down to more "realistic" levels due to the supply being brought up to existing demand.

Anyone who didn't think that a pinball machine that had reached $12,000+ in value was ripe for reproduction obviously doesn't know much about "investing" anyways.

Hahaha!

You better sell your MM right now if you have one before the word of the remake hits non-collectors if you are worried about the price. Supply and demand my friend and 1000 NIB's MM's just came into the supply.

+7995

Pinmeister, why the sour grapes? You're talking about a decline of maybe 30% or so. A couple grand isn't exactly life-changing money yet that same couple grand just allowed a bunch of people on the sidelines the chance to jump in the game.

It's honestly just so damn sad that ANYONE would see this as a bad thing.

They don't go up in value and they do not have the statue but they damn sure do out perform real Cobras.

In the nicer kits, the gauge/quality of the steel used and the extra bracing in the chassis make them FAR less flexible and allow them to handle on a whole other level than the factory originals. They also can put down power far better as well, not to mention the improvement in braking and depending on what you choose, the engine and transmissions as well.

I've worked on many original cobra's and kits. A quality kit will blow away the original every time(performance-wise). Of course, they have the benefit of decades of improvements, so it's to be expected. I'd still wanna have an original aluminum bodied Cobra though. Beautiful.

356 Porsche kit cars will also blow away originals when it comes to performance. Panache? Not a chance.

No more combining words to make horrible compound words.
