Quoted from mrm_4:

The people that hand over the money dictates the market from what ive been taught.
If Spooky charges 9k people will pay it, I bet if they charge 15k the same people will pay it. Consumers have the power to drive the market down just by not buying, but its impossible for pinheads to say no. For the 50 people that are mad about the price and being loud about it, there are 100 people in the shadows quietly counting out the money ready to pay. The anger should be directed towards the dummies that are buying because when these sell out in 10 minutes all this bitching will be for nothing because 250 people will prove that 9k isnt a problem.
I for one will not be buying for 9k, simply because its 9k no other reason, so what does my protest get me? Absolutely nothing. Literally. And someone else will gladly pay it. The only way this crap stops is if all pinheads stop handing over the money.

Quoted from Gribbs:

If you’re ever in Phoenix Metro, consider yourself welcome to come play mine.

Quoted from SpookyLuke:

We are not using gold vein powder on TNA. It is a metallic black powdercoat.
I do not know where any of these theories came from but there is alot of misinformation in these posts.

Quoted from TechnicalSteam:

Honestly it's going to be hard to top Godzilla in the minds of many. I'm still blown away.
Though I love my BOP 1.0, BSD and Fishtales just as much. It's fun factor and right mix of campy humor and sounds.
TNA has all of the fun factor. Just wish there was a 6500-7k price point.

Quoted from gdonovan:

Its what is available now so inevitable what it will be compared against along with Rush.
Not a huge Rush band fan myself, played the pin at Pintastic and it was great fun.

Quoted from Rarehero:

I have a Rush LE & can confirm: the expression light show is just mindblowing.

Quoted from AAAV8R:

Morgan at Spooky said shipping to my home would be around $350. I calculated round trip driving costs and a conservative estimate was $85-90 spent on gas. However, a closer examination of the route shows my vehicle passing by this point.
I am calculating odds of around 10,000% that I will encounter a mechanical problem with my car and be forced to stay the night. Further calculation of an extra $150 on pints…..er…….”parts and labor” to get the vehicle going again still reveals an overall cost savings.
Good luck to all who encounter a similar agonizing decision.

The arm of the kicker was pushing the rubber from the sling forward because it was installed so far forward. The ball would hit the sling and the arm wouldnt allow the rubber to press the switches.

Quoted from maxpower:

I checked today and they are still selling them.
