Limited Edition Run On New LOTR

(1/13) > >>

JeepMonkey:
There has been a thread over at RGP for a while now about making a limited production run of new Lord Of the Rings machines.

LOTR   Look at the post near the bottom of the past page by Pinball jack for the details.

Anticipated price is $5000, with 300 available.  You can hold a machine for a $100 refundable desposit.  I put in for one a couple months ago.  Man, I just don't know if I want to pull the trigger.  I figure if I am ever going to get a NIB pin, why not make it this one.

the link is wrong

JeepMonkey:
Fixed, thanks for the heads up.

It's overpriced, but I have my preorder in! :D

The reason for the cost is pretty clear. First of all, it's a small run and they had to pay for the license again. This is pretty understandable to me. I know they're trying to put some extra touches on the machine to make up for the extra price like a mirrored backglass (not going to be a cheap translite), some autographs, a plaque, and some Limited Edition flair to the art.

All those things are kinda neat, but the real bonus is getting the game NIB. This is almost certainly the final run of the game and it's being limited to just 300 machines. I figure that those machines will be gone in the blink of an eye and suddenly many (like myself) are going to wish that they'd skipped a summer vacation and just bit the bullet. I know I'm paying a pretty high premium, but it's going to be worth it for me.

Also, should I ever choose to unload this, I think it will hold its value just fine. I hope not to ever want to part with it though.

I really would like to try a real LOTR! I tried it in pinmame, and was not even remotely impressed.
