    Quoted from blueberryjohnson:

    Too late. Too bad. It is now inevitable. And the blame falls squarely on one person. This guy: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/it-s-time-to-make-pinball-mainstream

    That dude is hilarious , he didn't do much better in the Bob Saget thread .
    It's funny seeing new guys go off , without reading the room .

    For me pinball machines have always been expensive .
    I got a JJP GNR LE but I didn't just pull $15.5k out of my back pocket .
    I was able to do that after years of buying and selling other pinballs and arcade machines .
    I could have gotten a few old a games but I felt like putting all my money into one new game and I'm loving it , and I'm not even a GNR fan

    Quoted from jake35:

    If you paid 15,500 for a gnr le you got robbed. They are 10k NIB still and sold daily

    Is the Australian flag not visible on my profile ?
    I got in before the price rise
    And we're actually a lot cheaper than New Zealand , Europe and the UK .

    Quoted from radium:

    I hate koalas cuz they eat all the eucalyptus leaves and I might want some of those.

    Quoted from the9gman:

    Have you ever tried to buy a Hotwheels treasure hunt ? The hobby has been overpriced and overpopulated for over 20 years . The new stuff is kinda cheap and you have to guess what is going to be popular in 10 years. Every once in a while you get lucky and buy something good because you liked it and it turned out to increase in value by 400%

    I used to buy Simpsons collectible figures .
    Mr Burns was worth $500 , and then because they became popular they remade him .
    And guess what , he was no longer worth $500 .
    After that I realised if you want to invest your money , buy realestate , gold or shares , other than that , just by stuff you like and use it .

    Quoted from Dogford_Studios:

    The danger of starting a forum thread - someone might disagree with you!

    Lol , that's happened to me many times
    Giving out your number is a rookie move .
    You have to learn when to just let it go .

    Quoted from fosaisu:Pro move is to give out someone else’s number.

    That cracked me up
