79: Axe-Man vs Avenue Tar
Been a while how are you I'm well thank you. Deep Dive Zach joins me to talk all about Stern's X-men and Jersey Jack Pinball's Avatar. First "impressions" after seeing the full reveal of both. Good, bad, indifferent....able to crack the current market? Also I miss Jaws. Email: pinballpartypodcast@gmail.com
Kineticist’s take
Deep dive on Stern X-Men reveal and JJP Avatar pricing amid market downturn concerns
Synopsis
Two pinball enthusiasts discuss the newly revealed Stern X-Men pinball machine and Jersey Jack's Avatar game. They debate X-Men's theme strength, Jack Danger innovative offset flipper layout, concerns about the reveal stream's limited gameplay showcase, and criticism of Avatar's high pricing ($12-15K) relative to its theme appeal. Core tension: strong game design vs. market saturation, pricing constraints, and thematic risk in a contracting collector market.
