The premium looks amazing but its extra features could be taken advantage of better with more code. The extra movement of the Slimer mech on the premium is cool but is useless as there are no rules to take advantage of that extra movement. The Slimer mech on the premium should work like the crane toy in Batman, move to one spot and then not move until a player hits its, then move to the next spot, etc. Instead the Slimer mech on the premium just randomly moves to spots...Same goes for the Ecto Goggles, awesome feature but there's only a few images for it.

As a whole package I think the premium still has a lot going for it, much more then other premiums. I just hope that the code is developed more for the game.

Quoted from Rarehero:

Perhaps. Still -the 10 or so games I've played all had issues. Are hey all fixable? Perhaps - but it fundamentally bothers me that such an expensive game with such a phenomenal license got zero testing before production. Too many kinks to be considered "things to dial in". All design flaws. But let's say they can all be tweaked ....I still don't like the rules or bugs, so there's that. I'll reconsider in a year or two if the code is ever finished....and to get back on topic, I'd probably just go with the Pro.

I'm in the same boat. Huge Ghostbuster's fan but the current state of the code is underwhelming and the design flaws are not acceptable.

As prices of NIB games have continued to go rise so have my expectations for what I should be getting for those crazy prices.

Quoted from hoby1:

IMO the pro is great but the premium is better and that's why I bought it
As for the magna slings being a gimmick that's like saying the power on TAf is also. Cool stuff if you ask me

Agree. I never understood the gimmick knock. Everything in a pinball machine that manipulates the ball is a gimmick. If you take the gimmicks out you are just left with ramps and orbit shots, that sounds boring. The more stuff that interacts with the ball the better in my opinion, especially at these crazy NIB prices.
