NO licensor wants less money for their franchise. That 750 was clearly determined by Spooky. Go in to any pop culture store and you will see Rick & Morty merch everywhere.

Will Spooky make more? If they want to capitalizes on the best license they have ever had they will. The demand for a Rick & Morty pin is probably 4 times 750 if not more.

Rick and Morty is an incredibly popular license property as proven by a 2 day sellout of the pinball, a 2 hour sellout of the project pinball auction and a dozen threads on pinside in the past day or so.

The concept that Spooky would limit some thing like Rick & Morty to the same run as Alice Cooper is utterly laughable.

Congrats to everyone that won the Spooky pre-pay lottery. Spooky's inability to understand the value of the license / inability to fill the marketing demands has doubled a $1000 reserve space value in 24 hours. Might end up being worth $3k when they begin shipping.

I agree. How about they shoot for a production of 20,271 and knock Addams Family out of the running for most produced pinball machine?

Heaven forbid they aim high and make a great profit simultaneously filling marketing demands; then reinvest that profit into their company and be able to produce better products and acquire a new properties.

You know who doesn't want them to do that? Jersey Jack and Stern.

And I don't thing you understand what profit is if you immediately equate it with greed. There is playing it safe and there is playing it stupid. Do you think it was safe move to move forward on Alice Cooper pinball machine? Personally I am not seeing limiting your profit margin by 1/2 and pissing off hundreds of people that will be forced to the secondary market if they want your product as a "safe move". They will have constant cash as pins are built and released to build further units; and likely have more in their account today than they ever have... so investment cash is should not be a factor.

What is with people and the concept that profit is Greed? How about meeting basic marketing demands for the hobby? 750 sold out in a day? If you think profit is greed man will you have plenty of opportunities to lecture people on "greed" when they are flipping their reserve spots at $2-2.5k. (<-- and don't get me wrong God bless those capitalistic bastards that see a clear profit opportunity and take it.)

I agree 100%. Ricky & Morty will be around in 3 years and still be a cult classic.

A two week ago announcement, immediate 1 day sellout, a reserve spot sales beginning a week before Christmas (when everyone is either short on cash or distracted by the holiday.) I have a lot of respect for the Spooky folks, but I respectfully think there were a few pretty major poor decisions in this launch.

Congrats to everyone who got a spot.
