Quoted from rai:

IMO this game will not be a huge seller, I didn't find gameplay all that fun. I'm sure some will love it to death and some will dislike it a lot (like WoZ).

The people that dislike WOZ a lot didn't play it that much. There is so much to that game that I don't see how any pin-head could dislike it. Even if you do hate the theme. I think that Hobbit will be good too, but no way it outsells LOTR purely because of the price.

All fair points fellas. I guess I'm easier to please. I just know that have made the mistake of writing a game off before I gave it a fair shot. Then when I gave it a fair shot (usually with someone that knew it backwards and forwards), I discovered a much better appreciation for the game, even if it wasn't one I would like to own (HS, BBH, Dr. Who to name a few)

Quoted from dung:

Kind? Kind is saying TOM or TOTAN is a top ten game when the code sucks. Having owned LOTR and Sopranos (which might as well be LOTR rethemed) the game feels incredibly fast when you are dialed in.

Interesting. Sopranos is a grail pin for me, but my wife and I also want a LOTR pretty bad. I wonder if they would not be so great together in a collection?

Quoted from dung:

Never have seen the show, but I liked the pin. If it is your grail pin, buy it and skip on the LOTR. You will save a chunk of change over the LOTR. It doesn't have the epic feel, but it is a fun game all the same. There used to be a gif transitioning between LOTR and Sopranos to illustrate how close the layouts are.

pretty cool. Well the wife and I played hundreds of games on Sopranos when we first started dating and have recently fell in love with LOTR due to all the members of my pinball league having them. Makes sense as to why we like them both so much seeing as they are so similar in layout.
