    Let's try this. You guys want to get the words out and you want to speak with your wallet. If people "SHARE" this post on their facebook timeline it would get alot of traction. I'm not talking "LIKES"... you must hit "SHARE" That way friends of your friends of their friends get to see the post. Sharing a post 10 times can get at least 1000 views. If we can share this 100 times then we can get 10,000 public views. However, I'm not holding my breath.

    Quoted from cait001:

    When was Star Wars announced? Did I miss something?

    you're about 1 year late to the party. Stern hold the rights but no word on when it will be made

    Quoted from Hazoff:

    R u guys for real? Prices increase on most items every year from food to electricity so on and so on and all of these factors play a role in the increased pricing of manufactured goods and a lot of other areas, I would agree prices are too high but to make it out like ur some victim when you don't have to buy pins is really stupid, priced out then find a new hobby. Jesus am I the only one that can see whats happening here, these guys know this won't last and are capitalizing, same thing in the used market, 3 to 4K for a Shadow, WTF? don't buy anything, its quite simple.

    I understand what you are saying. Don't consider myself a victim but just trying to get Stern to realize they are killing their market base. If their plan is to die guns blazing then I guess they are on schedule. This applies to JJP for that manner, there's a reason why JJP suddenly switched paths and created another tiered version of their dialed-in.

    I'm just sticking with what i've got right now because there is no way I'm spending what they are asking. For me it's *f me three ways* kinda situation

    1) Price increases
    2) Code updates that are random, in some cases poorly tested
    3) Stripping down of features on the pro to place on higher models

    I love pinball but I'm not a millionaire.

    Stern produces more than 20 games a day and once the factory starts spewing at full capacity you'll be looking to close to 100 per day. Currently they should be producing about 50. So your figures are way off just based on that but your hypothesis seems sound.

    Quoted from Gexchange:

    Got news on the pricing.. Not nearly as bad as as we expected. I think people will find the price increase to be quite minimal
    JJ

    $200 doesn't seem like much.. It's more about the total amount of increments in the last 2 years that hurts.

    Quoted from usandthem:

    You also have a first world infrastructure.

    What are you talking about? We pay some of the highest rates for telecommunictaions in the word and our streets and bridges are falling apart. LOL
