For sale Elvira le I am in no rush to sell this but with the 40th edition coming out at 18k then I thought it’s a great opportunity to sell this huo not sure how many plays as it’s currently with a friend but it is huo has stern topper shooter rod illuminated speakers and a few other mods 13k
Please if you already have a premium on order with pinball heaven be patient and wait for that as I have a good working relationship with phil and it’s not right to buy this and then cancel your order with phil

whoop whoop you asked for it here she is ......good luck Chris now lets see you will put their money where their mouth is ....beowulf?
 
Oh come on guys put them big boy boots on and become part of the Elvira club ! Surprised Neil hasn’t had a do I thought he was after a le ? I’m after a Jp pro if anyone wants to sell me that to make purchase on Chris Elvira ! Hit me up
 
This is an awesome machine, but I would like to apologise for letting my eagerness to get one make me forget that I had verbally asked Phil to get me a Premium.
Verbal or deposit, same thing, Phil is a good friend, has got me out of trouble on so many occasions that I’d never be able to repay him in my lifetime.
Sometimes we all get that impulse and do something without thinking of how it can affect others.
It’s a beautiful machine that I would buy in a heartbeat, but it’s only a machine and my friendship with Phil, and Chris, come first and I wouldn’t do anything to take business away from either, or place their own relationship at risk.
So I’m passing on this and waiting for my premium.
I’m sure it won’t hang around, even at this price once you factor in the cost of adding everything to a premium.
The topper is now £1800 if you can get one.
Good luck with the sale Chris

Fair comment buddy
 
I realise there is a market that supports these prices but really? It's more than some people earn in a year or the cost of a car. They are only games in the end.

Agree but think whoever wants this will just sell a couple of pins from their collection to free up the funds, we all have money tied up in pins.

Prices on everything has gone crazy, used car prices have gone up more than pins☹️
 
Suprised a Premium owner doesn't just sell their premium it would go quick enough, then its just what 4 - 5k to this? Depends how much you want that topper/LE combo :D

Have a look at synthesizers, some vintage ones now £20K plus and they're just electronic keyboards with less parts than a pinball.

GLWS Chris, it's a beauty and a great themed game.

I’ll sell you my premium with topper and red powder coating ,art blades, full cliffies, clown plunger, and LE sound and speaker lights for 13K and then I’ll buy Chris’s game Lol
 
Hmm folks don’t get it. chris game is exceptionally well priced. I thought it was a bit heavy but after looking at it it’s superb value.

I get it but if you stand back and think the prices are prohibitively high for the majority. Pinball hobby used to be fun to find games, do them up and play them. I know it hasn't been that for some time but prices are now only for the elite. I couldn't imagine justifying 18.5k on a game just the same as I couldn't justify 20k on a watch, others seem to be able so to do but after all they are only toys. If people are prepared to spend at this level then it's up to them but it has become a hobby for the privileged few.

The days of the hobby being just guys tinkering in sheds is virtually gone but many like Courtney , Chris and Alan J still love the challenge of bringing a pile of junk back to life. Sometimes l look in the arcade at games ranging from 2 to 5 figures and ponder WTF happened!

personally you hit the nail on the head when you said the machines the price of a car. So the question is, would you rather buy a car or a pinball machine. Cars hold zero interest for me these days so id rather spend the money on a pinball machine that i will enjoy far more than a car. Easy choice. Did think about getting an Audi R8 a year or two back, would rather buy 5 20k pinball machines. Added bonus, they also hold their money far better.

Very few have 100k to spend on toys....that is my point.

I wonder what Nick would have thought Steve? (Regan not Bennett)

I remember when diesel was 50p per litre now it’s 1.50 as time moves on so do prices nothing stays the same. There’s more costs involved into making , designing, licences, shipping pinballs than there ever was …it’s the new norm

Anyways on another note this le is an excellent deal I don’t think it will be around by the end of the day good luck Chris I know you’ve had a lot of interest
 
The manufacturers are to blame. There is no real reason why we should have 3 versions of every new title, especially when the entry level pro has a ramp or a mech or even a playfield missing!
