    I like to buy a nice HUO premium for $6000, but the used market has been so hot I have been buying NIB, and now that a price increase is on the horizon, I have found myself stocking up. Anyone else out there exhibiting this behavior?

    I bought a Mando Premium, Jurassic Park Premium, and I'm seriously thinking about a Led Zeppelin Premium, partly because it is available.

    If only I could get my money tree to grow faster…

    I don't mind spending the money because it is my hobby, and for the most part every time I have sold a machine I have made more than I paid. You just have to get past the price of admission.

    My main problem is I've "admitted" too many games into my house. I honestly don't even know my count right now.

    Lz is a great game, gets so much bad press,

    I've been stocking up since 1996 in order to beat every price increase ever.

    Bought a distros last Mando Pro a little over a week ago. Wasn't in a hurry originally but didn't want to pay $600 more!

    Don’t waste your money on a LZ premium NIB or used for that matter. It’s not that great of a game.

    It gets bad press because it’s not a great game. I am a huge LZ fan and this pin disappoints

    Fomo is why the prices for nib and used pins continue to go up. I guess they are like tp. Buy an extra roll or two. Lol

    I think the moment you decide you should buy something "because it's available", it's time to take a breather. It's easy to get caught up in the noise but I think you'll look back and regret buying...well, anything...when you let desperation play a part in your decision making.

    (side note: I loved how LZ felt but have only played a few games on it)
