same boat here.

i was hoping for a nice JJP #3 but man what a miss and the price is ridiculous.
stern's batman does nothing for me, tv show was cheesy and still is today and stern went crazy/greedy with the price.

there is no way i'll buy a 10k pinball machine.

stern and JJP are like let see who can charge more for a pinball, sorry but they will learn the hard way. they are killing the hobby, slowly.

if AP's houdini play great with a price at 7K they will have the market and it could hurt stern and JJP.

man i was hoping to see pictures and videos from expo for houdini.
that's the kind of theme i like.

i just hope AP doesn't get fu(*?$ up by jpoop, i really wanna see that game.
