Quoted from Pinbally_1968:

No re-run of any title! Let them focus on new themes and machines

No offense, but these comments are missing the point. Doing vault editions let's them do just that in theory, because it keeps the line running with minimal effort, and cash flowing into Stern, while designers are able to work on their games with a little less time pressure. Stern simply cannot keep the pace up they have IMHO, it's why the code is always unfinished, the art gets rushed, etc.

We would be much better off if part of the year they were running MMr, doing vault games, and keeping that part of the market happy, and then releasing two solid new pins a year instead of trying to cram three. I'd take two good games over three rushed ones any day.

Quoted from taylor34:

I'm not exactly sure what is so expensive on LOTR that would make it's BOM that much higher than IM. Both have 2 ramps, two flippers, magnets, plastic set, spinners, molded figures, motor, etc. What is the high cost item on LOTR that would make it so much higher? I don't see it.

Pinside tends to see more stuff on a playfield and start having these wild notions about BOM. Maybe it's because they're used to the crazy markups aftermarket parts have. Just as an example, when Williams built Whitewater they didn't spend $700 on the ramps.

Also keep in mind that the price gap between Pro and Premiums doesn't reflect the actual cost difference between them. I'm sure as was just pointed out that plastic ramps are a little cheaper than habit rails. But it's not like they're hundreds of dollars either.

Quoted from bigdaddy07:

If the BOM doesn't really add up to much, then why are they charging 6500 for a premiums?

Because people will pay that much.
