Clearly. ; )
Quoted from zizzlemeplease:yup Gemini, was going to say the same, they're little mechanical marvels with everything being run from one little DC motor.. I think TOMY should re-visit the concept, 30-50% larger with 2 motors and active slingshots, maybe even an upper pf for dual level popcaps?
have a couple Astro's and more recently "American" is just cooler looking to me.
I actually would've preferred the "American Pinball" version just because of the retro styling, though I ended up getting a good deal on an eBay auction for the Astro Shooter I ended up with.
TOMY is still around too (technically, I think they merged with another company or something) so I have to wonder what's stopping them from making more toys like these. *shrugs*
