Joined the club this weekend. I typically would go for the classic/pro model of a game, but was fortunate enough to find a SE for a reasonable price close by so I jumped on it. I knew I’d like the game, but the extras on the SE are blowing me away. Very pleasantly surprised and as with all the remakes, the game feels so solid. Extremely happy with the purchase.

Quoted from Da-Shaker:

I've had my AFM SE for 6 months and there is hardly any dimpling at all. Did I get lucky? I'm just curious if this is the norm. My new Sterns are just the opposite.

I have a 1 year old SE and it has a normal amount of dimples. Nothing that stands out or bothers me.

Quoted from Flynnyfalcon:

No doubt a biased thread here, but I’m hoping for some relatively objective commentary on why AFMLE is definitively the better game over MBRLE, especially in relation to my collection.
I purchased the MB NIB and loved it (very nostalgic pin for me), but since picking up a JP have barely played it. And only will when mates come around. The gameplay just isn’t catching my attention as much as JP. That said, last night I had a ball on it. It seems a very all or nothing kinda pin. Lining everything up can be extremely lucrative and fun, but typically (maybe it’s my skill set) it’s a bit of a let down.
I’ve got a fairly small collection:
1x Classic Stern - Quicksilver
1x System 11 - Whirlwind
1x WPC - Funhouse
1x DMD -RE - MB / AFM
1x LCD - JP
For variety’s sake I like different eras so I want a DMD, but I want a game that has that “one more game feeling” something that doesn’t get old (yeah I know that’s not completely possible). I could play either of QS, WW, FH & JP all day. MB I’d struggle.
So last weekend I picked up a AFMLE thinking it may fill the DMD era void. It fills the fast paced genre that I typically go for, but fear it’s honeymoon period may also be limited.
I’ve given myself a month to decide as financially having 2 LE remakes isn’t viable.
Which will stay and why?? Please be objective where possible

I bought a MB CE NiB last year and it didn’t click at all, with anyone in the house. It’s gone.

I bought an AFMr SE a few weeks ago and it is clicking with everyone so far.

Take it for what it’s worth.

Lately every time I play Attack From Mars I feel like I’m playing Attack from Corona Virus. Especially when I get to Italy, “get out of here you stinking Martians”.

Just feels right for the situation.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

Flipper alignment question. I stuck a toothpick in the holes and aligned the flippers so the bottom of the rubber is just touching the toothpick when straight up. Is this correct or is it done without the rubber on the flipper?[quoted image]

I do it the same way you did it, but I always check to make sure the top of my flipper is in a straight line with the guide that feeds the flipper. I will typically use a straight edge of some sort to check it.

I bought an MBr CE and sold it after about 6 months. I have an AFMr SE and have no plans to let it go. My pick is AFMr over MBr.
