I was just rereading this, my most-replied thread ever (BFD!), and had some comments, owing to having the benefit of three years of hindsight...
Quoted from jawjaw:I prefer to wait until the hype reaches it's absolute peak and buy one at the scalper inflated price. Once hype settles down I will dump it for a huge loss. Isn't that what you are supposed to do?
This aged well. You can "dump it" for a 60+% profit these days!
Quoted from LTG:I do believe Charlie and Spooky really knocked this one out of the park. People are going to be happy they got one.
LTG : )
Lloyd, meanwhile, nailed it! (of course)
Hardly.
Quoted from phil-lee:Didn't see 7000 dollars worth of fun. Didn't see a machine that will increase in value.
Just goes to show how wrong one's perceptions can be.
Quoted from Fytr:As far as "picking up a R&M next fall" I'm calling it now - $10K by xmas!
LOL Remember when "$10k by Xmas" was a thing? Now that joke applies to toppers (but sadly not EMs).
Interestingly, the guy who got banned (twice?) from the thread for posting outrageous accusations may have been on to something. It seems maybe Roiland's legal woes were just the last straw for Adult Swim. Extremely bad taste humor is one thing... But I sure dislike actual charges being tried in the media as sordid clickbait. Dunno how all that will play out for the show, but I doubt it will diminish the popularity of the game appreciably, as it's just too much fun!
(Have Trudeau's games dropped in price at all? Or, maybe I should say, not increased in pace the rest of the pack? I'm really asking, I haven't tried analyzing their price trends. Then again, Trudeau just designed the playfields, you don't hear the guy while playing, for example...)
