If you bring it across the border yourself you WILL be on the hook for the 25% tariff. You may not be able to claim it back unless you are a business.

Not a theme for me but that's ok. Labyrinth was not a theme for everyone either while it was awesome for me. BoF does small runs of very niche themes. That's their market. It looks great and I hope I get to flip it at some point.

Some Stern games are allowed to sell below MSRP (the ones that sit forever), like LZ and some others.

Been thinking about this. Now I'm not saying this is what happened, but if Mana was offering things like "No tax" or "Free shipping", then they did in fact break the terms of their contract with Stern. Corporate/business accounting isn't open for interpretation. There is no such thing as "free"...

Yeah both BoF and Stern had booked media days for next week. Kong was the rumour but nothing confirmed until today. BoF well…. Nobody knows for sure what the hell they are releasing next week. They run a tight ship!

Not rushed at all. The release was announced for that day weeks ago. BoF is also releasing their next game next week, prior to Stern. Lost sales for JJP For sure. Jack said he was aiming for a May/June release of HP but the company wasn’t ready for such an early release.

Yeah I can't fathom how they are doing it.

I always find it funny when folks refer to HP as a kids theme. Sure the first half of the series is kid stuff, but then the last half is dark and is about adults torturing and murdering others including children. Not much of a kid theme at all lol. It's also about people in positions of power...

Agree but it's also relative. Those that buy CEs for profit flipping will likely lose. However if is a dream theme and you intend to basically keep it then it's not as bad... I guess.. Labyrinth was a dream theme for my wife and I long before anyone decided to make one. I got the first one BoF...

Agree with the above statement. Double your budget and you're less likely to run into those 2 other "conditions" you mentioned.

Yeah no limit. Speculators and flipper’s worst nightmare lol.

Canadians use Pinside pricing as a rough guide. No pins are selling in Canada for the actual Pinside average. They tend to sell for less in Canada. Pinside is just a guide. Very useful for trades when you want confirm similar values.

Pinball manufacturers will likely see their BOM costs balloon, as the components will get tariffs applied when they import. So pinball prices are likely to go up shortly in the US. Then add the Canadian counter tariff on the completed product, and we have basically killed the NIB market except...

What is confusing exactly? The US haven’t backed down from anything and are adding the auto sector tariffs. It’s getting worse, not better. The counter tariffs will probably include more things.

Expensive add-on. 1200usd +25% tariff +15%hst = almost 2500$cad. not sure I would’ve gone for it had I kept CCr. Hope I get to try it though! Glad some pinheads are going for it :)

Yeah never having to look up for any info is really nice, although it does take some getting used to. The BG info is all at the bottom of the apron in right behind the flippers. Wait til you see Princess Bride. The theme may not be your thing but that game is a master class in them integration...

For those who are interested in seeing and have not had a chance to see/play one yet, I will be bringing my P3 to the show. I should have Princess Bride, Weird Al, and Final Resistance. I may bring more modules depending on space. But for such a short show it's just not enough time to really...

I have a functional Megatouch v4 (1996) if this one falls through. However I am in Ottawa.

Reminds me of when Stranger Things had a bad rap for 2 damn years. Then once people actually gave it a chance and tried it they liked it. Maybe the same will happen with this title.

Did you tell your friend that for this particular title, 16k (16.5k) is not actually “priced to move” at this time?
