this could actually be a win-win
- people looking for a new [classic] pin that is currently out of their price range for a QC restored one would be able to purchase one
- people looking for those unobtainium parts for restoring theirs would potentially have a new source of parts instead of flea-bay

but would you stab 2 kittens to get something like this one?
not for sale, going into my restoration

this is not what I would consider a showstopper

there are plenty of different coils (with different strengths) available. it's simply a matter of increasing the number of windings on the spool. yes, it will be a different part no. and possibly one that is unique to BBB, but given the make-up of the typical pinball machine, that's not anything out of the ordinary

LEs will continue to sell out and sell out prior to being made "officially" available due to the mentality that we (as people) all have

pinball is a luxury item. it is not something that we "need", but rather something that we "desire". with that said, and with there only being [x] produced, instinct says to pre-order, pay up front, whatever it takes to obtain it before you can't. it's human nature
