Quoted from jgentry:

You Alien owners are an intense bunch. Circling these threads like buzzards. Got to protect that investment.
It's a theme a lot of people like, if people can keep the game running it should stay pretty valuable due to rarity. No real need for all of the pumping as there are enough people with bottomless wallets in this hobby that it won't really matter. If people will pay over 15K for a box of lights like Magic Girl the sky is the limit for a game that actually plays. It's the comments like "there are only X number and no one is selling so good luck" that really crack me up. If you want something and you are willing to pay market+ you can get pretty much anything you want in this hobby. Will Delt find one under 10K, I doubt it. But that doesn't mean they are not changing hands.

Quoted from Damonator:

It's rare, it's a good game and it's expensive. What else is there to say?
Not much until someone trolls the thread saying the game is garbage/isn't reliable/etc. Then we feel the need to speak up - call that whatever you want.
As for finding an LE for under $10k - It's doubtful as most people a) purchased them from Australia and paid over $11k shipped and b) are still enjoying them and c) there's two price points much higher than that.
So, yea - when a guy with a bottomless wallet offers $15k, you might see one change hands - but it won't be mine.

Quoted from Ballypinball:

wow I have never spent more than a few hours on any alien game

Quoted from jgentry:

Peoples experiences with the game are what they are. You can't go back in time and take them away. Doesn't mean that many of you do not have games that play good and are solid. There are several that were shipped that were not though. It's great that people have found ways to fix things and have redesigned parts to keep these things going. Doesn't change the past though, it does mean that people can at least keep their games running going forward.

Quoted from colonel_caverne:

I think Alien is much more reliable than a DI (trapdoor, drone, phone, theater, arm,...issues still in progress)

Quoted from Ballypinball:

DI have minor problems, so a opto falls out of the ball guide, easy fix and the odd trapdoor flap breaks, all easy fixes

Quoted from colonel_caverne:

Yes easy fixes...JJP support service ( that is great) replaces damaged/broken hardwares. Never had a game with such breakdowns. Regarding Alien, I may be lucky to get one of the last ones built.

Quoted from Ballypinball:

O my god, comparing JJP build Quality and breakdowns to Alien is like Comparing My Hyundai and my Aston Martin
Just in case you don't get it JJP is Aston Martin

My Hyundai has 235K and is still going strong.

So its you I see in my rear view Mirror Blowing Smoke into the Earth
