Quoted from o-din:

I'm not looking to get this game to flip or make a profit.
Actually I am looking to flip it. With the buttons on the side of the cabinet.

It's Spiderman Home Edition. The shots are the same, the playfield is the same. You're downplaying the fact that you don't just care about the brand and earnestly saying that you want to spend $20k on a rethemed Spiderman. That's some supreme (huhu) cognitive dissonance.

Buy Spiderman and close your eyes and you've got 95% of the experience, without the pesky depreciation from a ball having rolled across the playfield once, or be honest and say that you want it because it's Supreme, buy it and swaddle it in cotton wool.

Quoted from JediPimp:

Haha I think of the same thing with houses today "whatever happened to people who purchased a house to live in, rather than rent it out as an investment property or renovate it only to flip it in 1-2 years?"
World is changing. Not sure if I like it but it's changing. Gotta hustle these days to make paper and beat the rat race any way you can.
I say if the man (or woman) wants to spend 20k or more on a supreme pinball machine more power to them. If it makes them happy that's the only reason they need. Doesn't influence my life or my decisions one bit.

True, but this extreme of gross indulgence should not be celebrated.

Hustling to "make paper" is a lifestyle choice. Some of the richest people I know haven't got much in the way of accoutrements. They're rich in life, love, and knowledge, etc.

Different strokes for different folks, I just happen to think that Supreme and brands of its ilk represent everything wrong with excess, wealth disparity, etc. The old adage about "how can you buy XYZ when there's people starving in the world" is extreme, and unrealistic to live your life by, but this shit is domestic. I would never want to be part of an earnest brand that sells literal bricks for hundreds of dollars. It is grotesque.

Quoted from gweempose:

What I don't understand is why they re-themed a shitty home edition game when they could have started with something that plays so much better. Why not re-theme Tron, or MET, or something actually good?

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.

Maybe be able to pick it up in the "end of season" sale, or something.

"Fall 2016 ceramic brick, yours for $100 only $75!"
