Did you pre-order the Helix Stadium?

I almost never preorder anything. Been burned too many times in the past. I'm almost always a late follower. I buy modelers with about the same timing as I buy gaming consoles: Around 2 years after release. By then the price has fallen to an acceptable level, they've released an optimized version of the hardware, which doesn't have the same "baby mistakes" as the first batch and enough people have used it and reviewed it for me to make sure that it ticks all my boxes.

All that being said, I'm THIS close to preordering Battlefield 6 for PS5 but that's a story for a whole other forum...

I don’t see the stadium XL really dropping in price much as I think the new thousand dollar mark will become $1700 mark and the $1700 mark will now become $2100 mark or plus or close. Remember when the HD 500 was $500 in the helix came out at 1500 people went crazy, but that was the new norm even bossed it with their GT 1000 versus the older GT that it replaced which was in that five to $600 range and then the GT 1000 came out at what 1000 or over $1000 so I think that these increments are going to be the future
The only one that’s dropped in price is the vendor because they bit off more than they could chew at the TMP and they’re still high priced on that. I think that should’ve come in at $1000.

I think it’s MUCH more likely Stadium and Stadium XL go up in price in the future.

Just a way to point out you're hugely overthinking about the Helix Stadium.

Relax, it’s not like he’s actually going to buy it.
