heres a question,

what about when pre-orders were being put in for Big Bang Bar ? what was the purchase price of that machine, did everyone think it was a unusual/bad theme ? what are these machines worth now, how many were produced ? maybe WOZ will be just like that title.    I would have to get Nick's(pinnies4me) opinion here since he owns one i believe.

Very different situation Brett. BBB existed in 13 (well 12 left) protos that many had played in the 10 years after Capcom shut. It's status grew to be legendary, so when the repro run was announced it was jumped on by enthusiasts.

WOz could very well become collectable given the apparently well-accepted theme in the US, but I suspect it will be some years down the track. And if they went up in value and JJP was still producing games, like Stern with LotR, they might do another run (licenses permitting) devaluing the original run.
