This will go from being expensive because it's new and popular right to collectors items, it will **NEVER** be cheap, Star Wars (Atari vector) is worth a fortune, as is Star Ware Arcade (Sega Model 1),

I saw a Star Wars Arcade (Model 1) pcb with no sound pcb going for £750, and dedicated Star Wars (atari) machines go for well over £1000,

Arcadewarehouse tend to be quite expensive, you're better off asking in the arcade whether they are prepared to sell. Apparently the engineers are the best people to get to know. The model 3 game never took much money in any of the arcades near me & the cab wasn't anything special. One of the local arcades trashed a propcycle a while back, unfortunately I didn't get to it in time.

I presume this is because of nutjob Star Wars fans and not anything to do with the availability of tha games. I've seen the Model 3 Star Wars at quite a few arcades at one time or another.

Anyway, if anyone ends up buying it, please do consider getting it dumped (both the sound board and the Model 3 ROM board.)

Yup, although the Model 1 version is getting pretty rare...
