Go for it, I think it gets a bad rep for being shallow and the DMD issues but there's more depth there than you would think. Check out this gameplay video:
In my experience, I had a Cyclone, Taxi, BSD and Frank in my game room, everyone would come over to see the Mist ball and play the BSD, and everyone would end up leaving loving the Frankenstein. In my opinion a very under-rated pin. When I went to sell mine, I had 3 people in a bidding war to buy it.
Good to hear these comments, although it's looking likely that I might have to part with some cash.
Thanks for the vid Crash. Looks manic to say the least, especially during multi-ball. I also like the four pop bumper set up.
It's looking good.
Cheers guys
Loved mine when I owned it, miss it now and want it again. Fun theme if you like monster "B" movies, great call outs.
My girlfriend would kill me if I ever got rid of mine. It's her favorite game. Everyone who comes over is drawn to it.
Quoted from Crash:I think it gets a bad rep for being shallow
I've never really heard of anyone saying MSF is shallow....the ruleset is actually quite deep. It does get bagged on quite a bit for other reasons, but I loved mine the few years we had it. I wouldn't mind owning another one someday.
The pin is unique. To launch the ball you have that electric switch to 'throw'. Multiballs are tremendous and it has great sounds. You didn't mention the price for it . . . I wouldn't pay more than $1,500 for it unless it is in pristine condition. At least that's my opinion. I doubt I will ever sell mine. It looks great sitting beside my BSD.

Definitely one of the neatest ball launch mechs ever.
Not to hijack the thread, but just in case any MSF owners here need/want a spare, I still have a nice used one that I'd sell. PM me if interested....
I restored one about 5 years ago because the theme was cool. Ends up I sold it because I thought the music & sounds were terrible,& I just couldn't get into it. Plus the monster would throw the ball SDTM most the time! That's one pin I sold & never want back.
