Re the PIN, ever seen something designed for fun that wasnt designed to look like a toy in some way ?
What else would someone design that is aimed at young kids in a young family ??

The Stern Pro Pinball machines and the Premium/LE models look like commercial models, so isnt the PIN model designed to look like something a kid would want to play >, thats the whole idea isnt it......

Not everyone wants to spend $6600 upwards, there will be a market at $3 grand ish....
This PIN model will do more for pinball than a 30 year old pinball machine would.  30 year old pinballs make people think pinball is dead n gone.
We need brand new models and more often to get new familys into pinball..

This "Pin" is too expensive to be a "toy". No family is stupid enough to spend $3000 on rubbish like this. It takes up almost the same footprint as a real pinball, so common sense would suggest a restored Fishtales offers better value, quality and resale value. Pinballs ARE Commercial items, so they should look commercial. They were designed to earn money, not please children for $3000.

This PIN model cannot even be located in the same room as a real pinball. Even a pinball 50 years old is better - because IT IS a pinball, not a piece of cheap looking junk.

To put it simply, I don't know if they have been selling these or not, but there is definitely no market for them.
