OH YEAH! Time to start saving for Metallica....Xmas for me perhaps? Too many good pinball machines coming out!
Three of the biggest factors in choosing a NIB are gameplay, looks and pricing.
Economics are not trivial and waiting to save up for Christmas could mean paying $500 - $1000 more than buying right now. I am saying that the NIB price sweet spot may be here right now and any moves up in price would make some think twice about a purchase.
This post is titled Metalica - Stern - Release 2013. At the start of the thread everyone was speculating on sound, play and looks of Metallica. What is wrong with speculating on economics?
