It's oustide of my price-range ($3700USD for a wedgehead), but is anyone tempted by the new King Of Diamonds?

Seems they did some neat touches with software (a 4-player game, but just 1 score display)

Would be interested to hear what people think of it @ Expo!

I think it MIGHT be closer to reasonable if it were half that price. I'd put my money into an LOTR, TSPP any other newish Stern or a few Sys 11's before an 'new' wedgehead.  

I think the price is great considering all the work that has gone into this project.  I agree that you can get more for your $$$, but in terms of a brand new repro pin the pricing is good, especially where this isn't a mass produced product the likes of Stern.

For someone with a fairly heavy budget for a really nice games room this could be one really cool component. I dont know how marketing would go, but perhaps when someone is getting the pool table, darts etc they would buy this. I bet many of the owners would not necessarily be pinball collectors, just wealthy.

They mentioned that there's 1000 made.  That would probably rival Stern's production numbers nowadays.  Ouch!

This would get my money 10x faster than almost any new crap pin.  

That said, I don't have the money.  

Price wise, this is a good price in my books. If it costs $5k for a new Stern, then $3.7k is great for this unique pin. It would be simply fantastic to see another company come to life and make pins just to give the consumer another option and provide a hint of competition to Stern. That way both companies will try harder.
