For those who can't afford it, get a better job. Lol

Ahhhhhhhhh, it's a one off run in very very limited numbers. The price was never going to be cheaper.
It's a luxury item with a crap Australian dollar, it had to be anything but cheap.

Pinball BNIB is never cheap. We all expect and understand brand new car prices go up year after year but when it happens to pinball everyone freaks out a little.

How did everyone think Stern was going to pay for its research and development costs on the SPIKE system, pay for its massive new factory and all the new top end office staff ? The prices had to go up.

It's just a shame our dollar is 75 cents USA and not the $1.15 it was.
If the dollar was excellent no one would be complaining.
What can you do. Pinball is now a Luxury item through and through.
