Hi - love the forum and am grateful for the wealth of knowledge here..Am about to pull the trigger on Bally CFTBL.

This one is in very nice condition....The current price after some negotiation is $4300 - thoughts?????

I've wanted one of these for a while, and its pretty gratuitous that I found one the day I went shopping for them. Especially one in this condition.

I used to own Tales from the Crypt but sold it a # of years ago when the kids were moving out of the house. Now it's time for dad to get one for himself and I've wanted Creature or Monster Bash for a while...

Thanks -

I'm a more serious monster collector and happen to like playing pinball too. Hence the Creech & Monster Bash are the big draw for me..Monster bash would be my first choice, but they are to expensive (for me)..Anyone has one for sale LMK!!!

I'm not sure I would call this creature "mint" (I'm very discerning) but its very good condition plus (at least aesthetically)...Everything seems to be working well including the hologram.

I am in Midwest and the place I am purchasing from has been in business for a long time...They do a nice set-up, clean-up the machines etc, get em in working order - they are not hacks..So I am contemplating buying this @ retail vs a private party.

Thanks guys...appreciate the input...

Gotta go search for some pix of yours alveolus..

Mods!!??

Ok - I saw a topper on flea-bay...

You mean I can mod these like my car, schwinn bikes etc right?

What mods are out there for Creech besides the topper? Is there a forum area I can search for those on this sight?

Awesome feedback and education guys...I can't thank you all enough - the mods are terrific and you've made me feel better about pulling the trigger on the Creech I have a downpayment on.

I'm going to go do some research, am curious as to what would one expect to pay for a monster bash in vg+ condition? A lot more than Creech? Harder to find? Reason I am asking is that I will have one shot to buy one or the other the next couple years - can't afford both.

Want to make sure I don't do something in haste that I might regret later.

Interesting on rankings on pinpedia the Creech is a top 10 machine, while Monster Bash drops to 48??

That looks awesome....Anyone here used it themselves??

Thanks again for the input....I was talking to the dealer and some of these were painted vs decaled?

SPFXTED - LOVE the topper..(is it for sale??)
