Quoted from 27dnast:$ the $ real $ reason $ behind $ its $ removal $ will $ never $ be $ known.
What we do know, is that folks dropping $$11.5K$$ on a yellow colored WOZ won't experience a really cool ball lock mech.
Right, because when you are chasing a $11.5k price point, you simply don’t have the budgetary leeway to re-engineer a really cool mech that was once included in the $7.5k package!
Quoted from Pinballs:If you pay a Rolls-Royce price you naturally and understandably expect every gadget and its wife to be present. Even though YBR is great and loaded in many ways, the absent monkey makes it seem a lesser machine and this is a PR disaster IMO. Like POTC ringgate.
I am truly baffled that no one at JJP seems to understand this! Your RR example is accurate, and should be obvious to just about anyone. What JJP has done is analogous to RR removing a few of the most posh of the luxe accoutrements while increasing the price, giving the buyer a mere Mercedes/Jaguar experience but charging ultra-exotic prices for the privilege!
