Quoted from rai:I don't get the outrage at the price. Used TNA for sale are at $7,300 on up some over $9K (asking).
Anyone who prefers to buy a Stern premium for $9K can do that they don't need to pester Spooky about the asking price, if you don't like it don't buy it.
What's wrong with that if someone wants a brand new that is somewhat improved at $9K? That seems about right to me, but if you all don't like it don't buy it. I don't go to Ferrari or Porsche FB and complain that their cars are too expensive what do you expect to accomplish?
I'm not outraged at the price but it is higher than what I figured it would be. When TNA first came out at $6K a Stern Pro was approximately $5500 delivered. Now a Stern Pro is around $6800 delivered, I would have pegged the price closer to $7500 when you factor in inflation and where the rest of the pinball market has gone in terms of pricing. TNA used to primarily compete against Stern Pros in terms of pricing and now they've elevated their pricing to Stern Premium prices. I'm primarily a Stern Pro buyer so it's tough for me to justify spending over $9K on a pin (including Stern Premiums). I'm hoping that $9K isn't the new base price for future Spooky games as it would mean that another manufacturer has priced me out.
