Episode 1219: "Why a $27,000 Resident Evil Pinball Makes Total Sense"

World Pinball's $27K Resident Evil is "honest" but unsustainable; 2025 pinball market oversaturated and overpriced.

Kaneda criticizes World Pinball's $25,000–$27,000 Resident Evil pricing as simultaneously the "most honest" and "craziest" pinball price ever, arguing the steep cost reflects the brutal economics of limited-run manufacturing. He contextualizes this within a crowded 2025 release calendar (Transformers, Sonic, Fallout, Back to the Future) and discusses secondary market pricing pressure on Beetlejuice and Pokémon LEs, market saturation, and his concerns about unproven manufacturers launching flagship products with long delivery windows.
