    Quoted from vdojaq:

    I ask because of all of the playfield and code issues coming from STERN and their machines.
    Pinball was never meant to be made as a collectible. It had always been a commercial product as a means to make an income for the manufacturer, the distributor, and then lastly, the operator.

    And here lies the problem. Stern is in fact now targeting the home market, but they are totally out of touch with what it takes to satisfy that market (and it's a tough one). With the asinine pricing they have, you would think they would have the support in place to appease home buyers, but as of now they are a long ways off. I am already priced out of the market, but I would hate to see prices go any higher, oh wait.....
