Quoted from Tuna_Delight:

As someone who would have liked to purchase one, $6,500 MSRP is definitely disappointing.
That said, I'm still intrigued by the game, applaud Stern for manufacturing this, and I hope that it's a success for them.

Quoted from ChrisS:

Well Im interested at how they arrived at this price. Esp for this pin. It seems as if they misread what the pinball community can bare for pricing.
Get out the popcorn!!!!

Quoted from LyonsRonnie1:

I could see this game definately seling, but not to pinball people. To the right rich, single hipster this would make one heck of a conversation piece in their apartment/flat/loft whatever hipsters call it. It's just slightly offensive and at the same time beautiful enough to really be an original idea for something like that.
Pin people are into games that they're going to play and enjoy and are knowledgeable enough to find just the right machine at the right price, etc... this game though is different enough from anything else available that it likely will have it's own niche market of buyers who may not be interested in the typical pinball machine but will buy this for the 1-off nature of the design and the clever pin-up girl theme.
Sure they're only going to sell a limited number of them but I think it could work. The easy comparision is to the King of Diamonds remake from a few years ago, but that was aimed at pinball people and was a remake of a game you can find if you look around.
I guess we'll see, but it's certainly worth Stern and Whiz Bang giving it a try. They can always make another run down the road if the thing actually has legs (no pun intended)...

Quoted from LyonsRonnie1:

I hope you get one! The only thing that sucks about stuff like this is we may never know how well they sold or how many of them sold, Stern's a private company so you never get solid numbers unless it's a LE and they state how many they're going to make.
People can downtalk it all they want, and the price is high as heck, but ultimately it's a great looking machine, the crate idea is very original (even though we've been seeing it for 6 years now), the designer is a legend, and the artwork is fantastic. It's been a long trip but they finally made it to mass production, really cool.

Quoted from cscmtp:

At that price I assume it comes with the girl on the backglass? Geez Stern how out of touch can you be???

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

after seeing the video of game play, I can't image they will sell more then a handful of these.
I wonder what the production run was.
I would rather take my chances on Predator - I can't see that there is much replay value on this in a home.

Quoted from RobT:

The price.
