So greed then ;-)
Wanted JJP GnR
- Thread starter Scorn
- Start date
Was thinking about putting a deposit on on one of these a few weeks ago and at that point they were £10,500 but i put it off until now.
Now the game has went to £11,000....some crazy price rises of late (IS IT JUSTIFIED OR GREED) ...$500 for the USA and £500 for the UK..
Rich mans hobby these days.
don’t know about pinball heaven but stern have told distributors in USA that the price has gone up EVEN for people that have paid in full but are still waiting on delivery …
Too many rich people around with a lot of disposable income, unfortunately i'm not one of them...people need to stop paying these crazy prices or it's just gonna go higher and higher.
Too many people with Fomo

Just wait for all the old coggers to snuff it.
The pins will be worth 200 quid lol…

Yeah, Godzilla will be my last Stern NIB unfortunately. One more increase is me priced out.
Fortunately there appears to be some other companies producing good machines and there are so many older games to enjoy too. The CGC stuff looks much better value currently.
Swapping and loaning machines is the way forward for those on a tight budget.
I do feel for anyone trying to get into the hobby and buy their first game though. It's ridiculously expensive even for an average 30 year old title.

You can have it at 10500 if you want... as its Xmas.So you got it at £10,500?
I guess in my case it's you snooze you loose
There is only one way to guarantee a price drop if we all stop buying new pins and demand drops.
None of these things is going to happen anytime soon when there is so much disposable income and the hobby is exploding at an exponential rate it seems.
We all need a reality check me included as they are in reality just expensive toys.
Now what was the next hype train again? I need to get on that platform as GZ will soon be so last year.

Send Phil an email or a call he will sort you out and an invoice will magically appear in your inboxThanks for the offer
So would I just order through your website as normal?
Thanks for the advice…Merry ChristmasSend Phil an email or a call he will sort you out and an invoice will magically appear in your inbox
Reached out to Phil on the thinking that the March/April stock had already been allocated, i had actually spoke to him a few weeks ago and asked if i could pay the deposit and wait until the next batch came in after the March batch, which i was hoping would be near the end of 2022 (i mentioned 1 year to him because of demand) thus giving me time to gather the rest of the ££ as not everyone has another £9.5k just sitting around...he initially said yes, but today is saying no...oh to be rich must be a wonderful thing, maybe i will be lucky and bag a used one at the end of 2022 or 2023
I’ve been saving for ages now for my first pin, but I recently decided I’m not going to buy one. My reason being I can only afford one ( although I have space for 3), and I know full well what I’m like, and one would not be enough. So instead I’ve bought a top end pin sim vr, virtual reality pinball simulator using vpx. That way I have the choice of 250 pinball machines to play. And I can visit flip out or electric circus, and pinball offfice, to get my real pinball fix.
Current prices are out of reach for many people, 10k for a stern premium ! I’ve never even paid that for a car
Yeah one is never enough, when I used to tell my friends that I paid £5k for my AC/DC Premium Pin they said I was bonkers and to be honest I felt guilty about spending that kind of money on what can only be described as an expensive toy, now NIB premiums are demanding £10k…the world has definitely gone madI’ve been saving for ages now for my first pin, but I recently decided I’m not going to buy one.

If I do manage to pick up a JJP GnR then one thing I will definitely not be doing is telling my wife how much I paid…I’m not that bonkers

What I was saying no to, its both keeping it at the old price AND waiting a year to get paid for it. Either the old price and payment March, or the new price in a year is fine with me, just not both!
5k for an AC/DC Prem, pretty good going mateyYeah one is never enough, when I used to tell my friends that I paid £5k for my AC/DC Premium Pin they said I was bonkers and to be honest I felt guilty about spending that kind of money on what can only be described as an expensive toy, now NIB premiums are demanding £10k…the world has definitely gone mad

Yeah also paid around the same for the Metallica Premium…seems like a lifetime ago…maybe I should get Dr Strange to tamper with the multiverse so we can get back to realistic prices5k for an AC/DC Prem, pretty good going matey
So if I order at £11k you will keep it for the year so I can gather the ££..it might be sooner but I can’t say for definite.
IMHO to ask phil to keep hold of it for twelve month is a big ask it’s a lot of money for him to have tied up when he could probably sell it 5 times over
If you'll have the money in 20 months a 0% spending credit card is your cheapest option and the pin by end of quarter one.
That was my other thought pay on credit card interest free if it permits
My thinking was with the assumption from Chris B in an earlier post that the March batch might be already all allocated and the supply issues that I had been reading about then the next batch of games may not be with him until around September/October and therefore I was only asking for an additional few months to help me find the ££ given the massive cost.
I get that he is a business and has to invest the money first ..I wouldn’t usually ask and only did so because of the extended wait time that everyone has been talking about on the forums.
