Quoted from Monk:The hammer is a bit large and some people say it blocks your vision of play.
These ppl never owned a MET. The hammer is one of the best parts of the game. Is up there with one of the best toys with a super cool effect. IMO the hammer alone is reason to get the premium.
MET was a great pin and im a huge fan of the band and still rotated it out.
In my house nothing will last long, 1 or 2 years and the family/friends will stop playing. I always say better to rotate out and play more pinball. I stopped trying to find "keepers". If I had space for 50, this would be a different story.
