Wouldn't say Marble Queen is tame when properly set up. It is an awesome player and the middle pop bumper is a sight to behold in most games.

Time for my call out to Joel, great seller and great game

This has been near top of my list since I got interested in woodrails and it doesn't disappoint.

Would love a Hawaiian Beauty as heard it is fantastic player.

Quoted from NicoVolta:

NICE looking Spanish Eyes! BG looks perfect, great cab, playfield... excellent. I've seen Fan-Tas-Tic pop up around here a couple of times around the $350 price point but didn't know enough about middle-pops at the time to spring for them. Argh!

While the slope on that MQ is a bit floaty, you are correct that it is a lively-looking woodrail. Always loved the artwork and with no side drains it doesn't look like a punishing game even with the gobble hole. Would love to find one in top shape... will probably have one myself eventually.

Keep an eye out for one and grab it if you find one. Whilst there were 1000 made, not many come up for sale. I was surprised to see that none have appeared in the last 10 years on ebay.

Clay also says it is the game that his guests gravitate to when over at his house ( RGP post history! ).

And yes, can have some long ball times which is rare for a woodrail and again, probably explains why it was popular back in the day.

Quoted from NicoVolta:

I had an opportunity to purchase one last year... passed on it because I had (have) too many projects. It also looks a little *too* easy for me. But if it comes up again I'll pass it along here.

Ha! No such thing as any 'easy' woodrail

Actually some are easier than others but try lighting bumpers 1 - 9 in order on MQ - I can tell you it is SUPER hard!

And if you saw a MQ in nice condition for $1300, that was a steal for this title.
