+100 on TBL. As an example of the appeal it has today..
- Target is currently selling "the dude abides" tshirts.
- I got one and have worn it once just running errands around town
- every cashier (3 of them) wanted to talk about the movie.
- I doubt any of them would buy a pinball machine, they might stop to check out one on route.
- I'm 35 now.. TBL was all over the place in college, cult classic already there. We're also that demographic that still knows what pinball machines are, and have income.
I've been contemplating (not seriously mind you) joining the local "maker place" just because it has all the tools required (cnc machines, vinyl printers, 3d printers) to make a TBL machine. If only I didn't have a job
