I was lucky enough to get to play dialed in for a couple of hrs this morning. I was not overly impressed when it was announced but still wanted to play it.

The bad.
I'm not a fan of the name and I absolutely hate the toys r us look of the the guy and girl toys on the playfield. I think the overall feel of the game is just a little young feeling. The SIM city vibe is already dated looking And the game isn't even out yet. The art while nicely drawn just doesnt grab me. The price tag is very high.

The good.
The game is absolutely packed with toys and shots. The game feels like PL tried to take some of the best shots and features from allow his games and bring them together. It has 5 magnets, a hologram, 3 ramps, one with a diverter that has a ngg style hole in one feel, a subway with 2 entry points, a moving bash target, a kick back, and more. The game plays really fast. This is the best shooting game made since Star Trek but it has more shots and a ton more toys. The powder coated trim looks great. The new board system is much smaller and sleeker. The camera and wifi stuff is cool even if it is a little over the top and corny. The color changing LED's look stunning with crisp smooth transitions.

The take away.
Unless JJP just has a major blunder with its new platform this is going to be the best of the 3 JJP games by a mile. While I would have prefered it not to look like it came from toy r us it is is really fun. It also has more to it then any stern ever made so while I hate the price if stern is going to charge 9k+ for an LE this is a much better value. Plus JJP has a proven code history and with all of those toys and magnets this thing could be over the top good. So if you can stomach the theme and the silly roadshow characters you are probably going to love this pin. It just shoots and feels better then any new pin I have played. It's also by far has the most flow of any PL pin to date.

I wish it cost less, I wish the name and the look of the toys were different, but damn does it shoot good.

I'll definitely have to sell something if I get one. Short on space and can't come close to justifying that much new money on Pinball.

Didn't know that. It just looks a ton smaller so I assumed it was mostly a new design.
