Quoted from New_England:

Iā€™m out of the loop. Why is this game so disliked? Seems like a steal for a brand new pin.

Because its not as fun as most 1k games. The build quality leaves room for improvement as well...

Quoted from dangerwil:

The build quality on this pin is so weird. There are things that are built way better than any other manufacturer and other things that make you go WTF!
For example a great sounding quality speaker system. Then a plastic lockbar a child could tear off. A sweet looking logo on the coin door, then only 1 coin mech, an empty slot and the wires for the other mech just cut off at the working mech?
The code is primitive at best, buggy, lock a ball and you can play forever.
Some people seem to like it, I prefer pinballs with rules and modes.
I love Thunderbirds and all Gerry Anderson programs, this game looked great on the internet and following the build for the last few years.
I just don't care for it, so I'm willing to take a $1300 hit to move it on.
I actually expected the criticism, the game needs lots of work to be good. The manufacturer doesn't seem to get it. Engineer all you want. Themes sell. Games are judged by rules and playability, not playfield props and metal ramps.
