    Quoted from RawleyD:

    NewPinOwner said:Where does this huge chubby for B/W come from?
    It's because most of them have really awesome gameplay.
    The sounds, the shots, the jackpots,....they're just wayyy better.
    I don't know what else to tell ya man. All pinballs are NOT created equal.

    Have to agree with Rawley here.

    B/W also have a feel to them that is pretty distinct from DE pins.

    Bottom line: the free market has set B/W pins at higher prices than DE pins for a reason.

    Quoted from NPO:

    Short and to the point: AFM is worth the hype but not the price. There NO WAY there's enough game in AFM to justify $8k. People that can afford it - hey - God bless them. They have that kind of money, more power to them. But not all grandiose purchases can possibly be considered wise ones, and $8k on ANY pin - IMHO - is definitely not wise. Most people that pay that kind of money are paying with their hearts, and typically heart ----> wallet.

    Uh...how many people do you know who have bought an AFM in the last year and a half who have lost a substantial amount of money on that purchase (or any money for that matter)?

    And since $8k on "any pin" is definitely not wise in your opinion, I can only imagine what you think about those of us who own MM and have ordered BHZA.

    If you can't afford the B/W pins that you want, be happy with your Data East pins. Nothing wrong with that, but no need to tell others that they haven't made a wise decision.
