Summary
Tariffs crushing European pinball sales; D&D LE selling well despite dragon parts delays.
We Are Pinball episode 22 opens with extended discussion of U.S. tariffs and geopolitical tension affecting European pinball distributors and consumers. Cengiz (Denmark) expresses frustration about 25% tariffs on imports, compounded by VAT, making games unaffordable and destabilizing consumer confidence across Europe. The hosts then pivot to positive industry news: D&D Limited Edition is selling well despite earlier concerns, with parts delays on the dragon mechanism affecting LE production but not Pro models. They highlight Pinball at the Beach (Feb 7, Florida) as a major community event.
