The SM Home Edition (or whatever they call it) has a lower priced BOM and I'm sure it requires less assembly time, therefore you have less labor costs, and I'm sure Stern knew the hypebeast Premium fanboys wouldn't notice or even care that they're getting a warmed over home edition, as long as it was plastered with "Premium" everywhere and painted red and white, so why not take advantage of the situation and make maximum profit with minimal effort? If only everything was this easy.

who's doug? infringement on my new brand will be met with the severest threat (and fist shake) that I can muster
I'm going to check with another local place that has no minimum and can print dye-sub on demand

This logic is undone the moment you remember that Supreme sold actual clay bricks that go for hundreds of dollars.

They could've sold a completely bare playfield for the same amount of money. The fact it is a pinball machine is completely academic.

Two good theories, and I wouldn't be surprised if its a combination of the two. I guess when you look at it from Stern's perspective, there was absolutely no incentive for them to make a game that would be compelling to pinheads. Their client was going to be happy either way, and a lower BOM = more profit.

Here’s the thing. SM Home is NOT shitty. It’s actually a very fun layout with cool rules. Think early SS with modern sounds. It was always a full sized playfield. Very clever design by Gomez minimizing coil usage while making a very fun game.

For Supreme they went to a regular DMD instead of the custom sized colour LED display. Full sized Pro cabinet and coin door, plus service rails. Of course a custom sound package and reskin of the SM home rules.

This pin is stupid fun. I can’t stop playing it.

It’s totally fine if you don’t “Get” Supreme as a brand... but it certainly is one, and it’s completely self aware and deliberate about everything it does. It’s sort of Meta Marketing. It’s like the Deadpool of fashion. 4th wall breaking ironic street wear. The clothing and skate decks they sell are not crazy money, they just resell for crazy money because the Supreme collectors are ravenous. It’s like the Sneakerhead market.

They get Neil Young wearing a Supreme Box Logo T, then they photograph him in the T, then they sell a T with the imagine of Him wearing the Box Logo on the T... it’s pretty funny actually. These shirts typically sell for $60-$80 which is nowhere near out of line for limited fashion brand.

I bought the pin, and I love it. No intention of flipping it. It’ll be around for a LONG time, and if I ever sell it, it’ll probably be to a friend for exactly what I paid.

Supreme is the 2018's version of Ed Hardy. The brand won't be worth anything in a year or two.

I would expect these to live up to their name. So $15 should get you a 3 pack because each one will barely survive the first wash.

And I'd totally be in.

Well, I’m embarrassed. Have seen these pics all over the place and literally thought it was a Photoshop joke jabbing all the limited and premium model stuff. Like just slapping the label supreme made the pinball a premium model. Also thought this thread was satire until I finally looked it up. Wow. Idiocracy at its finest.

And I’m old I guess

And....I still can’t tell if you are joking or not. Dammit

It's gotta be on a white shirt . It seems as though everything Supreme does is in red and white . If you are going to mock them I think it needs to be done using just red and white .

This 20k Supreme talk makes me hungry for simpler times like 2011, before pinflation, when a buck was in fashion and landed you a Nachos Supreme!

Supreme branded McLaren 720s + Elitist Rich Kid = a damn good laugh, enjoy everyone

but since I was planning on going with an inverse color scheme for the logo (red on white vs. white against a red background) that's why I was going to go with the light gray shirt color. this way I could still [block] the brand name against a white background. alternatively, I could run my logo on red shirts

Saw that. What a moron

He must have been shit out of luck on that day of all the cars you could right off along with your own mclaren he hits an Audi R8 of all things

What has ruined more neighborhoods?

Supreme or Rap?

Okay, I will admit that I've never actually played a Spider-Man home edition. I just assumed it must suck. Clearly it doesn't. Consider me educated.

. already said

When were these released and did the community know it was going to happen? Who was in a position to even purchase them in the first 6 minutes? Still blows me away.

Funny enough, I didn’t know WTF this was yesterday (thought it was a photoshop joke) but now I find myself valuing them just because others seem to. Guess that is the genius behind “supreme” in the first place.

Where were they sold and what was the price?

That's kind of a silly comparison. Of course someone would sell you a BBB for $20k, but why would anyone in their right mind sell you a Supreme game for $20k when they are currently going for more than double that (triple in some cases) in the secondary market?

So who do we think bought most of them, pinheads or hype beasts? I'm guessing a majority of the games went to the latter.

Who knows, but you can't say this couldn't happen. PLENTY of name brands, logos have blown up, become hugely popular, then the bubble bursts. This could be the next Beanie Babies.

When I see new products with little intrinsic value going for ridiculously high prices due to collector hype I figure it's only a matter of time before the bottom drops out.

Sure, there's money to be made in the short term but don't be left holding the bag.

Where can I see pictures of this infamous Supreme pin, I didn’t see it on open.org.

No real issues with the store.

Beanie babies at $8 each were not a terrible value. When the collector hype drove some of them up to >$200 that's when you don't want to be the one buying at those prices and thinking of it as a long term investment, IMO.

Let's just say I've been on this site for awhile so I'll take your comments in the spirit I think they're meant....

I hope you land your $20k Supreme. Clearly they're a bargain at any price!

Imagine how cool you will look when you get that Supreme pin in your game room. That steady stream of girls knocking on your door might be back!

As you say, you can't put a price on that. Heck, it's worth paying whatever the going rate is.

When did the collector hype start?

Stylish?

Guerilla marketing seems to be very effective on the millennial generation. They don't respond well to traditional advertising methods. Anti-trust of the corporate world seems to be in fashion but they will pay $150 for a branded brick. Doh!

You're definitely one of my favorites O-din but this whole Supreme thing is lost on me. I'm friggin' old though.
