Quoted from bobukcat:Scooby Doo standard is $7800 and is pretty packed at that price point with full RGB, upper playfield, drop target banks, etc. Just basic black powder coat and no sculpts but all the game play elements are still there. I'll grant you that they probably don't have too many orders for these as most have opted for the $9.8K CE or $8800 BSE but if they can do a game at that price point I don't know why AP can't. At 13K you'd better have one hell of a license to pull in sales because no matter how many times people say they want unlicensed games they don't sell at any respectable quantity compared to a great licensed one.
That’s why I don’t get AP. They need a killer licensed theme to really push them forward. Sorry, Hot Wheels is not a killer theme and personally my daughters and I hated it. I would love a Houdini but no way would I buy new when the used market for it is really soft even when used prices went crazy on most pins. AP pins did not.
I am still scratching my head they went with GTF. And if their BOM is $8k and they loaded one they are screwed. That means the other versions are going to be so stripped of the rumor is true. They really are missing an opportunity to undercut Stern and JJP prices, but they need a killer theme.
Sorry GTF is not it.
