Why would anyone put $ for the Xtra when you can upgrade from Arcade? Or do I have that wrong?

Quoted from Yelobird:

Because when you add all the options it costs more?

Sorry my question wasn’t complete.

I’m just asking why you wouldn’t just put a down on arcade in order to derisk any failure to deliver.

Quoted from UnholySpectacle:

I think the sticking points are that there were Xtra specific features you could not upgrade on the Arcade such as the mechanical Ned, the light up sides, the nicer art, the planned mechanical topper, and the fancier back box. As much as I loved the look of the light up sides and better art on the Xtra I could not justify the price difference.

Gotcha. Well, I missed the pre-order. Has anyone been able to place an order AFTER the preorder closed? So much going on over holiday.

Quoted from UnholySpectacle:

Yep, you can always try to get in on any extra stock now but you will be paying that premium.

Thanks UnholySpectacle
Well, if anyone here wants to have a buyer on extra pins, at premium of course, then PM me.

Do we have any insight into whether they are doing another run of RAZA after this Jan-Feb batch? It can't be preorders and then done forever.

Thanks wrb1977 . It does say they'll have the production round ups at premium. But round up to what? 199 pins gets rounded to 200 or 1,000?

#616 3 years ago
Quoted from Nysbadmk8:I would take that with the BIGGEST grain of salt...
6 years of trying to get this off the ground, and they are going to take orders for 20 some odd days only, ever?
No, just no.
After they figure out how to manufacture a game, and make money on it, they will seek out more orders.

^this.

The only reason I can think of not to do it would be the RAZA machine has design defects that they can't get around for this build. In short, this is a mass produced prototype. Small run keeps complaints small and manageable for hotfixes and such. Roll the Ford Model A before the mass build of the Model T. Pure speculation but trying to find a rational reason for 20 day order window too. I confuse.
