Quoted from Yelobird:This game only taught me one thing. Play Before you Buy! I have bought over a hundred games in my time in this hobby but This one reminded me of Why you shouldn’t buy first. Tough and costly lesson. Luckily I got out before the market read the verdict lol. I believe my old game has made it through 3 owners already.
I can appreciate this....yet have to disagree. I also bought prior to playing. I honestly couldn’t be happier. Would this be my “one and only” pin? Probably not. But sitting in my lineup I think it fits perfect. Something unconventional next to some easier machines.
My family loves it, and I don’t just say that. It is a lot of fun from top to bottom.
My only complaint is the scoring....,lol, I plunge the ball on AFMLE and score higher than HOU! But that’s just greed
Quoted from luckymoey:I really like a dialed in Avengers so am looking forward to playing and maybe buying Houdini at a bargain price. The reviews are too mixed though to buy one cold.
If you were closer you’d be more than welcome to come try it out!! If you’re ever in Detroit area and have a passport!!
Quoted from wolftownjeff:The pin is beautiful.
Built like a tank.
American Pinball's customer service has been outstanding.
This is will end up being a collectable game as production stopped at 500 games.
I love this game.
Me too. I don’t really care about getting my money back if I ever care to sell.
Is that what it is, 500? I never even knew how many were made! Lol - good thing it’s not 600 like Munsters - only teasing.
Quoted from Hollywoodbone:So many factors. I think all above are valid. From the market drop and people getting out, to just being out of space to it being to tough for some people!
I personally really like it. Don’t know if this is good or bad but I think it just takes time to get a feel for the pin. When I first picked it up i had doubts the first 2 games I played. After about 10 or so my shots started falling in line. Then it was a blast. I’m an average player and can blow it up. Modes are fantastic and unique. Really pull you in.
I agree. Probably best suited for the home environment to be honest. Once you “get” this pin it is super cool!!!
Quoted from Alan_L:Sorry to take this thread on a slight tangent, but I am considering purchasing an Oktoberfest at Allentown or sooner, and I wonder what Houdini owners think about the quality of heir machines?
Thanks,
Alan
I’ve never owned a JJP machine, but I have owned others. Houdini is incredible with build quality, PF quality, and powder coating. I don’t beat on my machines, but this one seems that it would take a beating like a champ! Lol
