Man, what a bunch of debbie downers. The T-Rex on the Premium (and the different choreography for each of the T-Rex modes) is possibly the coolest "toy" in any Stern pinball. Puts a smile on my face and gives you some time to take a breath from the intense gameplay...definitely doesn't slow the game too much and is certainly not a distraction. The rules on this game tell a story, and T-Rex makes the story come to life. The raptor gate is also very cool. I've owned 2 Premiums and both T-Rex's worked great (no need to dial-in or fix).
