JERSEY JACK PINBALL
jrivelli:
The other problem is that there just isn't the market for games to be sold in the 10,000+ mark anymore. It seems like games may move into the ultra expensive HUO. I am really really curious to see how this does in the private market AFTER their first pin. Then again with how long it has taken to make this first pin who knows how long the second will take or if there will ever be one?
My biggest bummer is the chance of playing this is slim to none. None of my friends have $7,500 for a pinball. I need new friends obviously

"i'm talkin' bout my Doorbell, when ya gonna ring it - when ya gonna ring it" with m' pinball machine?
I don't see the economics of one pinball machine with 5-6 well known engineers & designers working on it for months/years. Say 7K per machine, they sell 2500??, thats 1.75 mil. Say these dudes make 75K/year and work on the project for 1 year each that's a third of a mil right there. overhead, mr' jack's cut, etc. gotta cost something to buy the parts and make the thing ($3K?) anyone know the cost of pinball parts like they do with phones and tablets on ifixit? Making one game at a time with no ongoing pipeline of machines a/la stern is not a model I would invest in.
I really hope it gets made and is a good thing for the buyers, and I'd love to play, I'm no snob, I enjoy all themes and play styles so far. 'course these guys are big in the redemption game biz and have forgotten more about the game than I ever knew. I just don't see how the business model makes sense.
