I’m going to wait a year, that way I can play both and see how that Rex mech is built. IMDN uses cheap metal on some of its mechs, so I want reassurance that a mech with this kind of movement and frequency of movement will hold up. If it proves to be well engineered and uses good materials, used premium all the way, assuming the gameplay is as awesome as it looks.

I still buy video games about 5 years after they are released... Just playing Witcher 2 right now, which is 8 years old. I just pretend new releases are just announcements coming in 5 years or so. My games cost 5 bucks. Waiting a year for a pin is easy.

Wow, thanks for the video post. The videos made me do a 180 on this one!

Now I'm leaning toward pro:

- Helocopter spin is meaningless as it is on a wireform.

- T-Rex may be a problem mech, and if it isn't, it will stop flow in what I see as a bad way. If it was a lock and hold and spit for multiball, it would be a good break before a new launch, but mid ramp (don't really like spot, but slightly different) isn't the best place to stop flow.

- The gate works very well with the raptor pen on the pro. This is where the real debate is to me. Is that ball capture/captive ball-to-target portion of the game outbalance the negatives above? I think not, especially for the money. Vote changed!

If I was buying based on videos and value, like OP is, I'd go pro all the way. Save those Canuck bucks for some overpriced and overtaxed beer!

Edit: thanks!!

Oh crap, totally forgat that was Keith. Thanks for clearing that up.

I believe that's Spalding from Caddy Shack?

And golf balls

I agree with you, but it's funny that pinside, myself included, have been complaining about a lack of interactive toys for years. They give us a killer one and we all yawn. #cantwin

Pirates was worse. You had to go CE to get rid of one of the worst mugs...
