I think PPS understands that people won't be lining up to pay 8k for AFMr, way too many nice ones out there already for less $$.

But really most of my point was not so much the value and whether it will drop or not as a remake but whether or not BBB is really a good remake candidate. I mean the whole idea behind the remakes is to make a few of the great playing pins that everyone wants as keepers affordable. I just think there are too many guys out there that want a BBB remake for the wrong reason... thinking about value and collectibility over enjoyment.

Like I said, BBB is a great and desirable pin because it has the complete package... rarity, theme, the Capcom name, a great history behind it. The remake will not give you MOST of that. Just be sure you actually love playing it and are not just blinded by all the things that you won't get with a remake...

I've played BBB a few times. I was lucky enough to play a few times in a place where I could appreciate the music and sounds. In my opinion, it's tremendous fun, with great art, sound/music, humor, and hilarious modes. I have a similar opinion of Kingpin (having played it at PAGG a few times). Both of those games have a uniqueness factor too, which is something I consider when adding a game to my collection. I spoke to Gene about Kingpin a couple years ago and he gave me the whole spiel on how it would definitely be made, appreciate in value, etc. Well, hopefully, one way or another, it will get made someday

BBB is totally overrated. Excellent art package, but that gameplay, come on now, not the best. Even the music and sounds getting annoying after a while. That game to me really just seems for the pinhead who must have everything.

BBB for 6.5k

I'd say BBB is a great game, not sure i'd pay $8k for a new one though. It'd be fun to see where the eventual price points for some of these remakes go if they continue to be made. AFM isn't an $8k game, but isn't that complicated either.

I'm hoping rick would rather sell by volume and make more that why then higher priced lower sales. It'd be great to get remakes into the $5k range

I think CC would be the best bet for the second reissue.

Seriously. How in the world is BBB #1?? Makes absolutely zero sense. It's not a great game. Period. End of discussion. MB and AFM are great games. BBB? yeah, not so much. It's expensive because of rarity. Anybody who buys a remake at $8K will be disappointed. People don't buy BBB because it's an awesome game. They buy it because it's, well, BBB. Rare with a beautiful art package. That's pretty much it.

MB is the clear cut choice here. It supports the higher BOM with all those toys, is fun and is really beautiful. Plus there's a huge demand for MB at a lower price point. I could see a large demand for MBr at $7K. BBB will flop at $8K. Get all pissy if you want and thumbs down me. BBB at 2K plus units loses its luster.

Granted.

The only reason why I haven't sold my BBB and CC is because, I'm more of a collector than a player.

Both games fairly suck, in my opinion.

BBB is a decent game that can be finished in about 15~20 minutes, wizard mode and all.

My CC sat unplayed for 10 years until CCC came out. Without CCC and just CC......

Nice one Mike,I truly see how that would hurt doubly if both were actually remade. Definitely would be in your best interest to say they suck to protect the many thousands riding on those two pins.

I can see you haven't played either one.

I also own an upright Professor Pac-Man.

Yup, that game sucks too.

I just like nostalgia.

I have/had all these pins

I still have my MM, AFM and MB
I sold my CC and BBB because they are not fun for a long time...

I would buy the BBB for theme alone. Would look awesome next to Luci. But I do want MB more . Liked owning it and my daughters really miss it. Bring on MB next!

Thanks Buddy!

CC would be the one they would pick to redo.

They already have boards and no licensing costs!

i actually really liked CC and played for about 3 hours in Vegas. I can see that if produced they need to get ccc in there somehow to make the lastability in home better but theme and fun is def there for what I think would be good sales!

Taf will be give the most sales.

All these games are nice. To me it seems there are less MB available than AFM. There seems to be plenty of TAF still around. CCC is a wild card. If they can get Eric's amazing work on a CC, to me it would be a toss with MB. Disclosure: I want a MB.

This is why I'm in on MMr but would not be on BBBr. I've played BBB quite a few times and for me it doesn't live up to the hype.

I voted CCCr. That's the only one in the poll I would pull the trigger on at the $8k price. No pin intended!

So you're nostalgic for things that suck? You're weird.

No one spends big money on rare games that suck. There are plenty of rare games that don't command big money. Some games are rare BECAUSE they suck! BBB is cool.

No, I'm nostalgic for things that are *rare.* Some suck, some don't.

In my opinion, BBB and CC fairly suck. But I like them because they are *rare.*

I would concur.

nos·tal·gia
[no-stal-juh, -jee-uh, nuh-]
noun
1.
a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time: a nostalgia for his college days.
2.
something that elicits or displays nostalgia.

If a game is rare, that means you probably didn't have much experience with it when it was new....so therefore, how could you be nostalgic for them?

Well, I just think that's a shame. Why own something you don't even like? Someone could be enjoying those games.

Because it's pinball. I grew up with pinball, so for me, it's nostalgic rare or not.

I agree. That's why I have pinball parties.

Did I mention that I was mostly a collector and not a player?

I would see the value of a new Monster Bash or Attack from Mars at 7K as long as they are pimped out properly and don't exceed a 500 game production run.

Yes. I don't get it. Why collect games and not play them?

Surely this question has been asked before. Like a million times since the history of pinball forums?

Maybe I should sell them all, take the money and buy up a bunch of rare coins that I'll never end up spending.
