[QUOTE="karl, post: 186506, member: 465"] More rumors of GOT and a new Star Wars (maybe) here [url]http://www.gamespot.com/videos/pinball-s-glorious-revival-ces-2015/2300-6422988/[/url] I think it is great that Stern introduces a new system that is cheaper to build, but why does the nib price still continue to go up? Some of the new features are improvements like the new flipper system etc. but most of it is just to save money for Stern. This is main reason why I think that Heighway has a chance in the market if they make some good games. The nib price will be much lower than Stern with the replaceable playfields. You can essentially buy 2 games for the price of one Stern machine. I believe that Stern would (especially now with more kids on the block) sell a lot more pinball machines and also make more money if the price was set 1000$ cheaper. I do not blame the small companies (not even JJP) for their high prices. Stern is a big machinery and they can sell (if they want to) pins a lot cheaper than other small companies and still make a profit, I would imagine. It is a small step from being the saviors of pinball to becoming the destroyers of it. Maybe it is worse here in Norway since the Kroner has been taking a downfall lately but a nib Stern premium is almost 1500$ more expensive than a years ago here now. [/QUOTE]
