Quoted from Indypin:I think some pinheads like to dog other MM owners thinking we're a bunch of wannabe Bill Gates, taking our easily obtained money and buying these high dollar pins to screw with the other pinheads who can't, or won't, spend that kind of money on a pin. What a misconception! I worked just as hard, if not harder, like the rest of the pinheads in order to help get the money together to help fund their purchase. We all love this hobby, but anyone who says that they didn't get a little happy knowing their pin purchase is now a highly collectible pin, is just lying to themselves. C'mon guys, lighten up on this guy a little bit.
Nah, the OP whined here and deserves the feedback. For example, I have my NIB CV and am amused to see how sale prices have gone up for this title. Could probably sell mine for $7k or so, but I love the game and would never sell. If Rick announced Friday that they were making 2000 repro CVs for $5k, I'd be happy, figuring more people could own and play a cool game. Wouldn't bother me because I like CV and am not selling. Because I like pinball, and am not in it for the 'investment' or bragging rights. So the OP sounds like a crybaby to me, and the hobby will be no worse off when he leaves it.
Seriously, existing MMs (or any othe game) will still play just as well and be just as much fun regardless of what repros or new titles are made. If you can't justify spending the high price for 'A List' titles, find cheaper ones or take up a cheaper hobby.
