Quoted from Edenecho:Now I can hear many people crying "nooo, more interest and awareness will make the prices go up!!!"
Which is a sad consequence of more people getting to know pinball. =)
Actually, in reference to a lot of Pinsiders complaining about prices going up, this Supreme dealio is a super smart move by Stern. How does a company like Stern find a market to sell pins to if their current customers (operators and home collectors/players) are constantly complaining about every new release price going up, up, and up with no end to increases in sight? Try to find a new set of customers with endlessly deep pockets, that's how. The Supreme customers do not seem to care that they're getting repeatedly fleeced by Supreme, in fact.. they welcome it! Therefore, they won't care if they're getting fleeced by a pinball company such as Stern, should they get hooked on pinball through this initial Supreme branded machine. Smart move Stern. Smart move!!
