So, ifpapinball I know you've been pretty tight lipped when it comes to details, giving us just enough info to keep us salivating. Regarding the price, can you at least tell us, should we expect a 3 figure or 4 figure price point? If it's 4, I'm out.

I honestly have no idea where it's going to land. It's impossible to price a product when you don't know what the final development costs are, don't know what the production BOM is, don't know what the sales projections are (this product has a built-in limited number that can be sold since it can only be sold to existing Cactus remake owners).

CGC always intends on making sure the price they set provides a great value to their customers while making sure they can also make enough profit to fund the next project in development. I feel like CGC has done that with every product they've launched and imagine they will use that same process when pricing out this kit.

Fair enough, thanks for the insight. I'll sit tight, keep my fingers crossed and see what CGC decides in the end.

Patiently waiting for my SE+ in the UK.

This will only be my second NIB after around 15 years in the hobby because I know the Lyman/Josh code update is going to take this game over the top!

$250 would be a steal IMHO. Have you visited the Marketplace lately??

is the topper really worth it? I know it's interactive, but for those that have it, is it engaging ?

Assuming we're talking about the one that came on my le then yes it's really cool and the gunfight is cool and it looks cool I'm not a Topper guy and I never would have spent that kind of money to add it though

You're killing me LOL....now I have to pony up for the LE !

what's the height of machine with topper, I can't find info on Chicago gamings site

Thank you, I forgot about the FAQ's 307 pages earlier.

YES, get it, don't look back!☺

It’s fun to watch Bart draw his gun, fire and take hits when things on the playfield happen. Some movement is incorporated with his taunts and of course the minigame mode! It’s enjoyable to have. Necessary? No.

I've always assumed there would be a good chance I'll be priced out of the upgrade. 1k and under is what I want. There's a good chance I won't get what I want... It is pinball, afterall.

There's a FAQ ?!?!?!?!!! Wuh?

$1000 not a penny more.

ONE MILLION DOLLARS !

It's Amazing that so many are going public on this tread about how much they are willing to pay for this upgrade. They are essentially giving FREE market research on the price point so CGC can maximize sales. DO NOT forget YOU are the potiental BUYER, not Seller.

$1.25

I was going to say something similar. The more people get on here and chirp about being willing to pay $2500, the more the bean counters at CGC think hmmmm........ That's essentially the equivalent of shopping for a car, home, jet ski, any high ticket item, and telling the seller you don't care what it costs. Stop giving them a license to gauge us.

CGC has never operated like that. Their history has been good builds and value for your money.

Look at the MMR upgrades. New big speaker panel with large display and new speakers, Topper, and RGB lighting kit. All around $500 each, give or take a little.

This was for the instructions, parts, packaging.

And they try to keep the price of games down.

They'll keep doing what they do, no matter what is speculated here.

LTG : )

Do you really think there is a future meeting at CGC where someone says, “well 3 dudes on Pinside said they’d pay a lot so let’s ream everyone with a high price”. ?

That meeting is right after the "well 3 dudes on Pinside said they would pay $25 for the update" meeting.

I agree that historically, CGC has always strived to deliver a great product for a great value, and they have achieved that goal with prior offerings. I trust they will do the same here. But what I'm saying isn't that far out there.

You heard it here folks ~ Lloyd said it’s going to be $500!

Does the le have invisia glass glass?

No, it doesn't come with that from the factory.

Did I miss somewhere that the topper is going to be remade or resold with the new kit?

Nope, you didn't miss it.

There was mention of potentially a new mode to go with the topper. No mention of additional toppers being sold.

If its priced at $500 it will sell well. If it's even close to 4 digits they won't sell many units. The game has tanked in value (like most games) so pumping another $1000 into the game isn't an easy sell. Yea I know people shouldn't buy these games for $, but they also don't want to lose their ass on the game. I guess it's a good problem to have if its even an option in the future?

If this product actually hits the market they would sell less than 10 units at that number, which I'm sure isn't CGC's business strategy.....my guess is $500-600 is the sweet spot. CGC should want most of the current owners to think of this upgrade as a "no brainer", and price accordingly. How many total CCR games did they make 2-3K. If they convert 50% of 3,000 units @ $500/unit thats $750K in revenue.

CGC has never included upgraded glass in any of their remakes

AR (museum) glass is always controversial.

Some people dont like the purple, pink or green hue to it, it changes the playfield colors a little, and may not work well in your setting.

Others dont care...controversy...

not to mention, $250 for a sheet of glass..

shut-up-and-take-my-money.gif

Or you are like me and have never had it on a game in their collection and either don't notice or isn't bothered by whatever reflections may be present. Plus the money saved.

In my environment (very bright) its a significant difference. Especially with reducing the glare from the DMD. Until u mentioned the above its never crossed my mind that it remotely changed colors.

They all have their individual hues.

I think I like the purple hue the best as it can bring out contrast.

I think the german glass is purple.

I also like the "magic" glass from American pinball its a kind of "rose" color?

I put it on my AFMrLE and my DW.

I have AR glass on all of my games, but I do shop for color per game.

WOZ and TH have the green hue etc.

Buy it on sale.

Nah, I'm old school. Plain old glass has never bothered me.. Especially when I can get a sheet for $29.95..

Once you go Hd glass you never go back!

I paid $13 in bulk from the glass tempering oven near me.

14 sheets was what they required.

They let me do a mix of some translite glass and some playfield glass.

Glass is super cheap, fuel to fire up the oven costs a lot.

No logo sanded edges.

Still, I have all AR glass in my game room.

I second this. Ever since putting Invisiglass on one of my machines, I could never go back. It's amazing how when you look down into it, it looks as if there is no glass at all. It helps tremendously with the DMD glare, and it enabled me to get rid of the plastic glare guard. I will never NOT have Invisiglass on my pins.

I recently took off the Invisiglass on one of my machines to get it ready for sale, and it was a night and day difference to me. Of course it's subjective to each individual and their environments. Personally, I always play with the lights off as I really dislike glare.

Awesome! If you want to unload some of that $13 stuff, give me a shout! OK, now back on topic..

Good to know...I've have invisiglass and PDI and really can't tell the difference. I was believer after I purchased my first JJP game years ago

How is the quality of this glass? Is it on par with Invisiglass and PDI?

Its just regular tempered glass thats been baked in an oven, its not coated like AR glass.

So its relatively inexpensive, or was...

We recently received a couple pallets of primarily CCR Parts ... and organized a section for CCR parts ... ramps, bash toy parts, and other futureproof parts are available now

I just replaced my original flippers with a set of precision halos

I totally forgot to take a “before” pic

Can someone please tell me how the flippers are supposed to line up with the witness marks? are they supposed go be directly underneath the flipper tips or above them?

Thanks!
