I have had mine for a little over a year. I like it a lot. If you like to play multiball you will be happy.

Good game IMO. Lots of fun. Bit of a drain whore on the left outlane. Even better experience with shaker and sub. Shotgun blasts are awesome with that sub especially during bird mb.

Pros:
Fun rules,
fun mbs.
Elk is cool during 4-ball mb
Super JP shot is awesome and satisfying during buck mb

The cons:
Build quality is during the piss poor days like IM, AVA, and TRS.
One ramp (not a bad thing - but limits shot possibilities and flow)
Right loop shot to start modes is poorly designed and klunky.
Elk flipper sucks with the weighted figure on it; take it off and that elk flipper gets twice as interactive. Big improvement IMO.
Balls easily get trapped in the shooter lame on elk mb cause of the elks design. Not a big deal really, just an observation.

It's better than TRS

Ask AbacusMan.

Yes. Makes it lighter so it senses the switch easier. Goes ape nuts in mb which adds to the fun.

Note: when I owned mine I adjusted the leaf switch and it worked better. But IMO, it works even better (and prob as intended) without the elk figure weighing it down.

I missed my first one after it was gone so I traded for a second one. I love games where you can stack multiballs; there are three to stack here IF buck comes after bird and elk. it's crazy to have 3 minute long multiballs. I wouldn't want it as part of a small collection (I had three games when I sold it) but now that I carry six or more it's staying put for a while

$3K Canadian is a good price. I'd likely grab one at that price if HUO. I really enjoy the game. I've been collecting since 1998, so I've gone through all the A titles. Owned them or played them to death at friend's. I'm really appreciating the "odd" games now. Seems my taste are different than everyone else. I'm loving Avengers LE. I think Xmen is a great game. And I love BBH. I was hoping the price would tank based on everyone's almost universal hate of it, but that doesn't seem to have happened. $3K seems like a good price in today's market.

One of Stern's best games . I have two of them . The price seems fair .

I would get it. Cool theme, fun sounds and some satisfying shots.

Under rated pin in my opinion. I'd love to have one for less than $3k. Problem is I haven't seen one for close to that. It's a fun game but to me is only worth about $2.5k (i.e. about the same as other williams/bally) b/c list level pins. Same as avatar for me. Fun pin and worth having at the right price.

Send the one you 'don't' take my way

I've had mine for 3 years now. my wife will not let me sell it and it is a great change of pace from long ball time games, meaning it will get more plays.
Lets put it another way... the game has a lot of similarities to IM.

I wouldn't sell mine for anywhere close to 3k so I would snatch one up. my was lightly routed (about $400) but super clean. I say go for it!

I think it is pretty meh.

I really LOVE the theme but the game play is not much fun for the long haul. If I could get a good deal on one I would pick it up for a short bit, but I would never seek it out.

I like the theme and thought it would be a good game. I played the game and wanted to like it. But couldn't. Your results may vary.

Urge you to try it before you buy it.

I bought one NIB back when IM was out. I am no hunter and am not a fan of the theme but game play wise I still like it much better than IM-- my opinion.
I eventually sold it to Edwin, but I will still defend it to this day. Its a very under appreciated game. I like the Pappi Stand up targets. You actually have to aim to hit them, (no, give me's) like most stand ups, nice rewards earned out of them. The Elk (third smash back flipper) is a nice feature, I wish this was incorporated in more games.

for 3G, it should hold its value, there are requests to buy it from time to time. I am curious on how it did on location.

Fun game and for 3k you can't really go wrong if you don't like it.
