My unpopular, useless opinion:
The market can sustain it. Stern has a 3000 unit backlog, inflation, cost of goods through the roof. Distributors don’t and won’t have significant inventory until middle/end of next year at this rate. Look at the prices from the last Tennessee auction ffs.
Personally I don’t know if I’m still in yet. Definitely have to see products before I buy. Interested in cactus and Godzilla but will probably throw $ at a 6500 Godzilla before I buy a 7500$ entry level cactus canyon. I’m done with fomo.... I gotta see the game first. I’m also probably done with American.... tired of waiting for any kind of announcement from that company.
Price has gone up over 2k at this point since lotr... over 1k since gb. The games have less stuff in them. You can tell when you look at mando that there was a limit on the bom, all the way down to the number of screws they used on it lol. Doesn’t mean it’s a shitty game at all. (It does mean that I had to spend $300 on wireforms and an animatronic grogu though lol). Stern is in business to make money, they’re not unicef. It is what it is.
