I prob should vote ACDC cuz I've had it for 5 years and still love it - but - we have no idea what the Vault Premium will look like or if Stern's QC issues will be taken care of. If I was making a decision today, it would prob be Dialed In - you just get more for your money with a JJP game right now.

Quoted from solarvalue:

I really don't understand why people don't like the art on DI: hand-drawn Art by John Youssi, bright primary colors and lots of fun little details. Does everyone really hate tucked-in shirts that much?

Yes. lol. It's just a weird combo of something contemporary (cell phones) with an early 90's aesthetic. They would have been better off with more contemporary art and a "cooler" main character. It screams "made by old people who are pretending to understand what young people think is cool".

Quoted from bigd1979:

Tz was not well received when released and now is a very sought after pin. Ive seen lots people come around on di after playing and suspect many others will also once it gets in homes.

TZ was never $9k.

I love Lawlor's weird ass original themes. I just repaired the heads on my Road Show today. Road construction with two giant decapitated heads and country music!?! Why the F do I love this game!?!? I dunno, but I do....however, it was a $1800 buy! Would I buy Road Show at a NIB JJP price!? No F'ing way!

Quoted from bigd1979:

I hear u but unfortunately its a different market now and prices are what they are.

...and part of the reason prices are where they are is because people have shown time and time again that they'll throw caution to the wind and drop crazy money on a game if its theme sets off their nostalgia buttons. Dialed In doesn't offer that, and that's why you see more scrutiny even though it may be better than any game releases over the past few years.

Quoted from bigd1979:

Yep ... i much perfer original themes themes to all these band and old shows..... probably bc im fairly young still tho. Plus my reason for buying a pin is the fun factor number 1 then toys , lighting/lightshows, magnets /mechs and the world under glass. I think di is one of the most fun packed pins in recent times. Reminds me of the days of b/w with lots of near tech and lighting.

I'm not disputing that...that's what I love about pinball too. It's just a tougher sell at $9k when you can get great Williams games at a fraction. My Road Show was $1800. Another Lawlor favorite of mine, No Good Gofers was $2200.

I'll def play DI on location if anyone gets it. I'd consider it used down the road.

Quoted from FlippyD:

Also if Twilight Zone is so timeless why did Disney just rebrand their TZ ride at California Adventure?

Because Guardians of the Galaxy is Disney/Marvel IP, and Twilight Zone is not.
