I just paid $900 for a very rough one, and another $400 for one missing some parts and will try and make one nice one out of the two. $1450 for this one is a steal. Laugh if you want, but I think this is one of the best games WMS made in the 80's. I took a new in box one home for a while before I sold it through my distributorship. A great game! Had it been themed pretty much any other way I think it would have been a smash hit. It does have to work perfectly, as someone else pointed out, to properly play. They almost never do on location. It wasn't that long ago that Bride of Pinbot was not well regarded either. I know people are going to belatedly discover this little gem of a game, just like they discovered how awesome BOP is. A great players game for sure!
