TWD because it has the best rules of any pin ever made. GB is also great but the ruleset is not as good.-doesnt have the balance or polish. The wizard modes and stackability isn't nearly as good either. I actually like the art, layout and theme better on GB but code is a really big deal to me and for that TWD is unmatched. TWD also does a great job of bringing you into the theme, especially if you have an alternative sound package with quotes from the show and the dmd animations are the best I've ever seen. My favorite game!

I'm usually a Pro guy as most of the time the extra bells and whistles of the Prem/LE versions don't do much for me. I have played close to 500 games of TWD Pro on route and love the game so much that I decided I wanted to buy one for home and I would wait for a nice deal on a HUO. I looked for a few months and nothing really came up. There was a nice deal that came up on a TWDLE locally though, and despite only playing a handful of games on the LE/Premium I decided to give it a go despite the extra cost figuring I got it for a good price and could sell it for no loss if I changed my mind. I've only had it about a month but now that I've got over 350 games on it and have played it almost as much as I have the Pro I can say without a doubt that it's the better version. The biggest difference of course are the Walker bombs. They completely change the strategy of the game and how you approach it. The Bicycle Girl bash toy is also great, especially if you have the lighted mod for it. This also adds more strategy and changes the geometry of the game as I try to stack it with CDC which makes it an easier shot vs. the Pro which is almost too easy to repeat left ramp shots. The color changing GI is also incredible and adds to the ambiance of the game. Not only does it change color but it also dims and brightens which is really a cool effect. At first I didn't really care for the crossbow mod but once I got it working 100% and got better at using it, I actually find it to be a lot of fun. I've actually made the Crossbow Frenzy mode quite a few times and it's really fun as it stacks along with multiball and adds some extra challenge to the game.-it's like the cannon in ACDC basically. I'm also like ripping spinners and TWDLE has two of them which add to the enjoyment of the game. Plus there are other features like well walker magnet and the drop target at the Woodbury shot which improve the game. Really, the only negative on the Premium/LE is that the left ramp isn't as smooth.-Although this can be tweaked and improved. Overall though I've been in the hobby for over 12 years now and owned over 40 games and aside from possibly LOTR, TWDLE is the one that I've enjoyed the most and I now consider it to be my favorite game.
