i'm picking up an AFMr SE at York this weekend, love the game and I think it will get played just as much as DI and my other games. Scared stiff is one of the easiest games around (not including spider wizard mode or whatever it is), yet it's always fun to play. Not every game needs to be super deep or extremely difficult. MMR is not very difficult or deep either, yet it's just a timeless classic, just like AFM. Destroying the castle never gets old, at least not to me.

Can't blame people, $9k for an le is a lot of money, for any pinball machine. History suggests prices will drop and id guess jjp will make as many as they possibly can. It is a great game.

Jjp has pf issues too, same exact clear coat chipping at sim hole requiring early owners to shell out for protectors. Not happy that I have a nearly $9k game and I have to spend another hundred to prevent pf damage that started within the first 5 games. Now they include those protectors from the factory. To me, this sends a clear message not to be an early adopter.

My afmse has zero playfield issues, bought back in July. If your afm starts showing chipping, just get cliffys, problem solved. I would not let any of these issues defer you from buying now given the issues are largely known.

Both are fantastic games.
