    Let’s have some fun here. We are all going to lose value. Welcome to 2023. This is not the consumers fault. The tough hit is for those who think this is an investment. Here are the numbers for the best case scenario:

    Any newer machine (exception Godzilla and Cactus Canyon.) the soft market for those who need to sell. Down 2,000 from what you think.

    The new Bond 60th. 20 grand. Just a matter of time for the total bust confirmation. Elwin will take a big hit on this. Bond wanted this. The game is worse than a Gomez Pro.

    Toy Story 4, or forki whatever that is. Like so many, I wanted Toy Story. I drove to a place to play it. Nope. It’s everything the forum claims. Not this compromise, and not the price for watered down machine. This is a loss of 5 grand on the CE. But still no one wants it.

    The results of pinball manufacturers taking advantage:

    higher end machines, over 2,000 loss.

    Any existing game over 4k, get ready to lose 1-2,000.

    Any game under 3k. Staying at value. I guess Maverick and Lethal Weapon 3 are the winners for 2023.

    We are a family, we see this, we understand this. Let’s have some fun with this. Prove to me that I am wrong,

    Noob. That’s funny. Thank you crazy levi.
    Just a simple post here about an observation looking at this as any type of investment right now based on what manufacturers are doing these days.

    I appreciate you punkin. Never been called a straw man before.
    Thank you shinyball. But no secondary account here. Just love pinball is all.

    Insanity- thank you. That’s all I was saying. Just trying to get some perspective, I think that a good way to say it. I’ve had a good run too and I have love the pinball experience.

    Thank you gamer.
