I'm looking at getting a new pin, and I'm tossing up between Alien and Dialed In. I really think the rules, layout, lighting, and audio of Alien look great, and I like that it is both mode based, with many multiballs, and wizard modes. I've recently played Dialed In, and like the "Disaster Movie" theme, it reminds me of a classic Bally Williams. What are thoughts here? Has anyone played both?

I won't be buying the pin until later this year, and let's assume Alien starts shipping in mass in August.

To clarify, I won't be buying the pin until later this year, and let's assume Alien starts shipping in mass in August.

Dialed IN's layout looks like it may flow better, but Alien's looks unique. The funny thing about DI is no matter where I shoot I make a shot... there are that many targets!

Quoted from Yoski:

1000 cheaper??? It is unavailable right now. We have no idea what the price will be IF it ever becomes available again.

Prices are available on the site, on the ordering page.

Quoted from stevevt:

If you're willing to make that assumption, you might as well have an Alien to go along with your Kool-Aid.

Sorry, I hope I didn't offend you. I was just trying to ask a legitimate question about what people thought of the two pins.

This question is asking about gameplay and such for each pin, not if and when it would be available. If I have a line to buy a second hand Alien, complete with the working xenomorph, should I buy it be a DI.

It looks like the Alien pin is officially in full production according to their Facebook page and will be shipping in mass as of August 14! Very exciting!

Now with Alien’s finally shipping and arriving in people’s homes, what do people think? I’m now stronger for my preference for Alien.

It looks like Alien is getting some momentum and is in a bette replace than it was a couple of months ago.
