    So you're basically saying to have them take all the profit out of the manufacturing of a pinball machine, you are right - that will never happen.

    Quoted from zizzlemeplease:

    nice idea I think, unassembled could cost a lot less for a game and shipping both.

    What, didn't you read the post?..we are not allowed to discuss any money/cost

    Quoted from Frax:

    You're the one that brought up cost/money....and the ridiculous assumption that somehow assembly hours spent by the factory = net profits, which makes no sense at all.
    Unless something has changed, wasn't part of the plan with BHZA/RAZA to offer a flatpack-type deal for the one person that might be interested? I am pretty sure they were not even offered a discount for that, but the option was (is?) there for someone who wants to tackle that kind of project. I just have absolutely no interest in that pin whatsoever. I'm saying that I'd take the same option, even at pretty close to full cost, for an ESTABLISHED title, or at least a title I'd be interested in. Nowhere in my inital post did I say anything about how I was going to "take all the profit out of the manufacturing of a pinball machine".

    Well, I don't consider my post "stupid", since I work for a major manufacturer of digital products for the radio industry, so I must not know what I am talking about. Have a great day.
