Quoted from Hawks:

No big deal, if you like toppers...cool
And for a couple hundred bucks more than usual, you get a unique game code
If your okay spending over 9k on pinnie, does a few hundred $ really matter FFS

Quoted from EricHadley:

Yayyyyyyy Goat Mania! I’m super thrilled. Can’t wait to get my topper and hook it up!

Quoted from Gorgar666:

...just got 2 toppers from Cointaker for $450. The JP JEEP knock off,,,Williams Logo Topper....

Quoted from guitarded:

Is this part of the New Cruelty?

Quoted from Durzel:

It feels sometimes that pinball exists in a bubble as far as prices and value for money are concerned.
Maybe it’s because of historical mod prices, like repainted $10 plastic toys with an LED being wired in and sold for $hundreds, etc.
I watched the video, it looks alright, but what is there in materials that comes close to justifying a $400 price, much less $600? It’sa bunch of plastic and LEDs.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

Quoted from beelzeboob:

You know what? I have the Tilttopper, which I'm very happy with, so I wasn't going to buy a Stern one. But after reading your questions, which are clearly meant to taunt a good guy and incite some sort of reaction from him--pretty much the definition of trolling, by the way--I'm willing to give Zach the $600 if he doesn't answer your questions.
You've got 24 machines, many of them among the most expensive ones out there. Stop complaining about the $600. If you don't like it, move on.
Personally, I'm excited to see how they try to gig me on a Stranger Things topper. Should be interesting...

Quoted from drfrightner:

Listen up Darth Vader, clearly you're serve the empire (LOL) but let me respond.
Stern sells a product they call it the LIMITED EDITION, its suppose to be the best version. But these cheap people over there don't get you the best version.
They don't give you the shooter rod, the topper or even the new modes. Then they come out with better sideblade armor.
Lets add it up here... Sideblade Armor $249.00 Topper - $599.00 - Shooter Knob $139.00
what are all those things WORTH cost wise maybe $150.00 but why didn't they come with the game?
Not to mention a NEW MODE!
Look at Star Trek LE that comes with bad ass sideblade armor why not the other games?
They're making the LE cheaper than ever then almost immediately turning around and saying OH BY THE WAY YOU DIDNT GET THE BEST VERSION
BUT... for another $1,000 plus you can have the new mode, topper, and everything else.
I buy an LE and I expect the best version.
You know what I'd shut up if Stern would just add a 10 cent flap to keep the balls from falling out when you lift the playfied. But that will never happen.

Quoted from cooked71:

All these guys rushing out to buy this topper already...maybe it actually has already sold out.
I think you're fighting a losing battle delt31 . Face it, Stern know their market better than we do.

Quoted from wisefwumyogwave:

Distributors will sit on these just like stranger things games. At some point distributors need to push back, and say enough is enough. we need more bang for our buck. Prices keep going up and games get cheaper and cheaper, Another NIB customer lost stern.

Quoted from TheLaw:

1. Because they work just fine
2. Because they like diff'rent things than you
3. Because they don't have your wife to make the masks
4. In week 189 if Corvis we dont need a lesson on how to put on masks
Just ideas.
Edit: but true some peeps do need lessons....mask game is sloppy
