I traded my LotR for a BDK and the BDK is way more fun for me. It's almost as good as my SM. And so I think it is the 2. best game I have ever owned. But it is very important to have the latest code and to exchange the figures with better ones: Movie Master Joker, Scarecrow, Batman in this stupid Sperman Pose was changed with a Twoface figure that i put over one bumper so it looks as he throws his coin (Coin Spinner)
Then a few LEDs and a Shaker and this pinball rocks.
With these easy to install mods the look of this machine is awsome and with the new code it plays fantastic.
The movies are great but if you want to get in the mood for this theme read the comic books ( The Long Helloween, Dark Victory.....)
