Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Remains to be seen if this is a disaster or not. Seems to me the people complaining wouldn't have bought this thing at any reasonable price - I don't think you can expect a made in the USA commercial pinball machine of ANY sort to be produced at the kind of price that people in this thread would find appropriate.
It's a specialty game I doubt this thing was ever meant to be produced in huge numbers.
We'll see how it does but I think people dismissing it outright and being so flippant about it's prospects are jumping the gun.

Quoted from thedefog:

200 @ $5500 is 1 million, minus $500 roughly shipping and production costs. So wild guess, if it costs them $3k to make each game, then they are left with around $333 per game, not counting how that is split up between Stern and co. Doesn't seem worth it at all to me, which is why I can't believe it costs that much to make these. It must cost them somewhere in the ballpark of $1500+ per unit or it isn't worth their time. And even then it is only $666 per game. They'd need to sell a lot more than 200, more like 500 minimum for it to be worth their time at all. Pure speculation here. I have no clue what their actual costs are.

Quoted from thedefog:

Guess you didn't read the last two sentences I wrote and which you quoted. Why do people get so upset about conjecture here?

Quoted from beelzeboob:

So I guess you're out for the sequel, Big Hairy Beaver?

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

You haven't paid much attention.
Tits BUILT pinball. Check out the games of the 60s and 70s.
Tits as far as the eye can see.
I suggested "tits" as a pinball theme many years ago. Yes, I take credit.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I'm still trying to see why that's a problem?

Quoted from belairjoe:

did I see you had an eatpm up for sale on ebay last month? what you cant look at them only make money off them?

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

I'm SHOCKED that inhomes would own something as tasteless and childish as an EATPM!
And to sell it? Where it can get out into the general population? Obviously he's just in it for the money. Fits the pinhead sterotype to a T!
Won't somebody think of the children?!??!
Well...to be fair maybe he had the "modesty sticker" installed.

Quoted from CrazyLevi:

Once you throw horseshit like "you fit the pinhead stereotype to a T" you open yourself up to this kind of sarcastic ridicule.
I couldn't care less if you make money on pins and I do it myself. Cause after all...we both fit the pinhead stereotype to a T.
