Why would it be any less? In fact, I'd be absolutely shocked if it were any cheaper than $9k. (Especially after its been proven that $8k is easy to get on the mere announcement of a new machine -- whether it actually exists or not.)

Its been more than a couple days since $8k became the standard, so surely it's time to test the boundaries again and see how far pinheads will go.

I'm one of those oddballs who never cared much for Addams or Twilight Zone, and overall, always felt that Lawlor was fairly overrated. Regardless, I'm glad to know that he's going to be designing a new original-themed pin.
