KISS!

I voted for IMVE. The code is done and it's probably the last run. It also has the sweet metallic cab decals like Kiss LE. It will hold it's value well. Get one while you can and then wait and see how the other 2 turn out. I'm sure they'll be readily available for a while.

I voted with my money and ordered an IMVE too. Can't wait to receive.

Kiss is fun, likely to get better. GOT looks like great shots and variety from very little know so far, but yeah waiting for code updates while you could be Stark-ing it up could be tough and IMVE is basically a sure thing.

All the Stern workers were told to vote GoT

Did you bring ST back with an LE? Nice! Yeah I say IM if short ball times work for you. You are a good player so it is a good pin to brawl with. Let the other pins codes ride out and grab one then, like you did with ST and ACDC. IM is my favorite game.

I really am intrigued with the GoT Premium layout(art sucks), so would be my first choice, Then IMVE, proven game, then KISS premium. Kiss is a good looking machine, still think the game itself is ok, but not great. Future code may help.

that's what I'd do. In a few years when RZ is in my home, it's going right next to the IMVE.

IMVE offers a lot more than just short ball times. It offers massive satisfaction when you can do something in those short games. A great game can take less than 5 minutes, but the amount of satisfaction from that 5 minutes has to be felt to be believed. The game is a pressure cooker once you get going. Is this the game you get the Do or Die hurryup? F(*&%^kkkkkkk, only 4 inserts lit! But I can still get Jericho... but I still needed Bogey and I hit the edge of the ramp and drained the last ball. IMVE is like standing on a knife in bare feet and being happy when you didn't cut your toe off. Other games can provide a ton of satisfaction, but IM is like hot, nasty makeup sex every time you hit the start button. Is the fight over? I'm not sure, but this feels good!

Set her up like a bitch, and be happy while she is with you, because you don't deserve her.

Welcome to a world of hurt

make sure you get a shaker:

"Where do you think you're going?"

Point is:

GOT might be good, but likely it will take a full year for the code to be almost done. You can wait and see.

IMVE (to me) is simply the best Stern pin for the money. Yes, I do like AcDc premium better, and Tron pro is *as good* but (IMO) Tron requires Eli ramp and arcade mod so you're looking at $600 (minimum for Tron, likely $1000 if you go for shaker, LEDs, Pinbit plastic proctors as well). AcDc premium is both more expensive as well it'll take quite a few mods (cannon, lightning bolts).

So while IMVE may not be the best (it's darn close), I like that it feels almost just right, shaker and probably Eli whip mod preferred, but it feels OK right out of the box.

Some people will say Met pro is also very good, but so far I've resisted the urge to pick one up.

Note: I'm not saying any pins 'needs' mods, but they look better with mods. I think IM is fairly simple and doesn't need a ton of mods.

Nice sales pitch! Stern owes you a commission.

A Subwoofer goes real well with IMVE too

Shaker and external sub are a must on IM!

Good call! Id get the Imve too, it will hold its value, and is a great game, then in a few years once got is fully coded, you could probably trade someone for one if you want.

I agree I think you made the best choice, but everyone has there opinions, and some themes are restricted in households and some aren't.

Bottom line really can't go wrong with IM. Lets us know how it works out.

It was your destiny to get IM all along.

I keep hitting refresh on my tracking webpage waiting for my IMVE to be delivered to the trucking terminal tonight. If it shows up at 3am I will be there to get it shortly after. I took the whole week off to play what I have been told is a great pinball. I think I will watch GoT for the first time while I wait to help the time pass.

Stiffen up the game a bit. In my opinion the DoD Hurryup should be achievable only on a great ball. It should be very special and out at the edge of play. Setting up IM nasty makes it a much better game and keeps it interesting. Too easy and it can all crash down.

And obviously, that is just opinion. It is your game, and you should set it up however you find it to be the most fun.
