Hi Guys,

my thoughts are still circling around the GOTG. Get an offer for a nice used GOTG LE (9.845$).
Also got an offer for a Pro (6486$) without Shaker but with pf-protector and convolux.

Now a friend of offered me his Iron Maiden Pro with Shaker, mirrorblades, painted armor, and pf-protctor for 6720$.

Btw: prices in germany are crazy....

Played the GOTG pro and LE. And must say that the light show is much better on LE.
GOTG Pro was just okand fun,... but after playing Maiden pro, the GOTG pro felt a bit cheap to me.

So now it's Maiden Pro vs. GOTG LE, in mind that this pin should fill the empty spot from Metallica Pro. The new PIN should come with a fast and flowing gameplay which is an addition to my actual lineup ( Houdini, WOZ, LOTR, Dialed In, TWD pro, Ghostbusters LE, BOP 2.0, Monster Bash) and hopefully with this one more game feeling.

Here is my pro and con list of both:

Maiden pro (pro):
- fresh design and layout
- 4 flippers
- Deep rulesheet
- superb sound and callouts
- fast game
- Spinners
- Well use of the shaker

Maiden pro (con):
- no real toys which interact.
- Not shure how long Ball times can be, when I played it it was a bit long...
- Afraid that the music becomes exhausting
- Afraid that the gameplay/shots can be repetitive

GOTG LE (pro):
- Toys are really cool
- fast game which fights back (kickback)
- Cleland Sound rom
- easy to understand what to do (I like mode based games)
- Spinners
- RBG Leds

GOTG LE (con):
- Theme is ok
- Plastic ramps
- typical borg layout
- LCD Display animations just ok

Hope you can give me some more input and your opion if you have to choose between this two pins.

Thanks a lot!

I liked Metallica. But the "crappy" sound was annoying. ACDC sounds much better. Also the WPC-95. That was a bummer for me.
Tried a lot but after about 3,5 years i couldn't stand... So from the gameplay i like both GOTG and IMDN. GOTG looks more colorfull and has RGB Led all over. The Maiden is more a Pin out of Hell and i like the music. And the Theme is timeless...

Maybe I get the chance to play them both next to each other this evening.
