BBB would look really good in my collection. Alas, the hit to my savings account would not as good. Great game; I really enjoy playing them when I get the opportunity.

Quoted from Legacy:Would love to own one someday but man they are getting up there. I have never seen one in person.
They are stunning. Great color scheme. I think the only reason that color scheme hasn't been emulated by Stern on a newer game is because it doesn't match any license well.
Quoted from Baiter:My point was not to route BBB, but I'd love to see one show up at someone's house or a show one of these years
One made it to the TPF festival earlier this year. That guy was a rockstar for bringing it for us all to enjoy. I hope it makes a return next year.
Quoted from Magic_Mike:To reproduce BBB now would cost him *more* than what it did back in 2004, because now he would be starting from scratch on tooling and reproducing parts.
Agreed. This is why Kingpin never materialized. He couldn't reverse engineer the boards (or at least that is what everyone has been told). Sure would be nice for a few dozen more examples to be floating around making it to shows though.
Quoted from Magic_Mike:As of December *2012*, less than 150 people had signed up for Kingpin at the low, low price of $8500.
I think this is more indicative that people didn't think the game would be done than a want of demand for the title. Kingpin would sell if remade.
Quoted from MTPPC:Soliciting venture capital
Private equity money will virtually never do a pure start up. If there is no existing revenue they have little interest. Even with existing revenue, banks will not really loan you money these days unless you don't need it and have a personal guarantee that will cover the amount borrowed.
