Rare, but they keep popping up!

  $3,500 and still a day and 7 hours to go.

[Crowquill]

21 hours to go and it's now at $5001!

I know these things are rare, but for that price you could fill a small gameroom.

[ChadTower]

Hell, you could fill a pretty big one for that price if you don't need pins.

[(+_+)]

Rip off, unless of course your one of those die hard collectors who has to have it at any cost or you experienced something life altering while playing one of them and just have to have it to fill that void.

Does the Cockpit MC bring something special to the game? DOTE brings alot of bells and whistles, Starwars CP brings a bigger screen. I mean, is MC just the exact same game with extra lumber and art around it. I haven't seen anything about it interesting.

[RayB]

I think the bass of explosion sounds really resonates around you, but other than that.... nada!

Put a relay in with a giant boot on an arm that kicks you in the ass every time you lose a city.

Nah, put metal contact plates on the seat and wire up a few capacitors attached to a disposable camera stunner.

[ChadTower]

Pfft.  Taze people.  It would be a youtube sensation.

This cabinet is also stolen goods.  There is a thread about it over on the KLOV website... evidently this was a cabinet stolen from a member here (and there).

I highly doubt one would actually sell for that much.  There was one on ebay not too long ago and it only reached around $1000 IIRC.  A lot of the "holy grails" are built on hype and BS.  I mean really, who even wants to deal with such a huge and heavy game like a MC cockpit or SW cockpit??  NOT very many people, when it comes down to it.

frizzle what section of the forum did you see the info about it being stolen>

[RayB]

Link please!!


Check out the bidding history. Only 3 bidders and one of em just entering big fat numbers like "$5000" . Suspicious!

You know you'd get either one if they were local, I rest my case.

Pfff, SW Cockpit has WHEELS. It's a LOT easier to move than either one of my upright cabs !!!!

[paigeoliver]

You obviously never had to move one in or out of a second floor apartment with a staircase that has a 180 degree turn and high railings.

I'm the King of huge, heavy game purchases that have to be moved into a basement.  Therefore, I can speak to how stupid it is... and how very few others are as stupid.

Indeed ! That's why I got a van with a hydraulic lift to pick it up......cost some money, but spared my (and others' backs).
But hey, SW cockpit is worth it !!

Sweet! Both my cabs are cockpit versions - so Wade, we're not all like you!
