I’d keep Elvira. The code is far deeper than GOTG. That being said, GOTG will be fun for a month or two, but I just think EHOH has more staying power.

Can't really answer the question but I like the dog standing up on the barstool.

I would keep elvira.

If you're done with EHOH, move on. You can always get another one down the road. My games typically last around 6 months before I put them up for sale/trade. Even keepers leave eventually.

I do agree with this. I play my games a LOT. So even the best ones will get stale after a while. What keeps them around longer is to rotate to playing other games for a bit.

Keep EHOH, as you stated GOTG is readily found on location. I like the idea of having those harder to find pins in the house. Elvira is the better game.

Why are you limited to GOTG? Either way... I’d sell Elvira now if you’re bored of it. You can always buy it again next year

elvira all the way. it plays smoother, funner, and the art is better. plus, gotg is a borg retheme from met, so elvira all the way

Well you already own the better of the two.

If you eliminate all other considerations, such as potential cash needs, and just look at the pins themselves, then Elvira is the clear winner. GOTG is fun, but like at least one other person said, it will get old more quickly. Elvira is about as deep and entertaining of a pin as you will find.

Another vote here for Elvira. In my opinion Elvira is the far deeper game with more toys / features and much more licensed assets.

Now that is good advice.
I whole heartedly agree.
Variety is the spice of life.
The excitement of a new game in the lineup keeps everyone engaged and all of the games receive more play as a result. So, in order to enjoy your collection to the fullest, move games in, out and around.

This. GOTG is great for a break from another game or a quick rush to get a new game.. but the rush fades and you want to go back to some more involved games

why not consider another game instead of just gotg? deadpool, turtles, batman 66?

GOTG is a euphoric rush. Great game. Fun game. Gorgeous game.

Elvira might be better overall, but so what? If you want something new, change it up. Playing on location totally sucks compared to the game in your home. If Elvira isn’t doing it for you right now and you feel like pushing play on GoTG over and over in the wonderful privacy of your own home, switch it up!

If the hobby has shown us ANYTHING over the years, it’s that every game is basically available most of the time. You can always re-acquire a game. Especially pros and premiums.

BTW, I wish you were closer! I’d trade you my XMEN LE plus cash for that Elvira!

My XMEN is a good example of my previous comment. Game is loaded. Game is deep. Game is fun (it’s totally underrated). But I’ve played the heck out of it, gotten to both Wizards, and have had it over a year. I have space for 4 games, and MMR and Wonka aren’t going anywhere, so somethings gotta go and XMEN will get me the most $ back towards my next game. I’d love to keep it, but it’s my least played game right now and I want something new.

If I regret selling it, I’ll buy it again. But I’ve never regretted selling a game, and I’ve owned a few of the best IMO.

I'd keep Elvira. As others have said, GOTG is good for a few hours, but to me loses it's "wanna keep hitting the start button" factor. Was just playing my bud Rob's EHOH Prem last night, and could've kept hitting the start button all night. Fun shots, fun game and good rule set. I've played a few others, and actually want to buy one now.

Plus...it's Elvira. Always pleasant on the eyes.

EHOH has a great Lyman rulesheet. GoTG is fun but not nearly as interesting to play. Keep Elvira.

BTW Nelson...laughing my ass off at your Mother Teresa avatar.

Especially with the updated code.

so you played Elvira for a couple of hours... how do you know how it lasts? The OP already HAS an Elvira and is clearly bored with it. You can sell your Elvira now and recoup 99% of the NIB price. Just buy another one next year if you still want it...

So sorry, wasn't aware I couldn't give an opinion...in a thread asking for opinions.

My post also said I've played a few others. I'd say I've played about 30 or 40 games on EHOH at this point...some experience. I've been in the hobby for 10 years, and have owned a shit-ton of games. And I've played a ton more. I know what I like that has staying power, good rules and is a fun player, versus what I don't get excited about. It's not difficult to assess.

If I lived closer I'd be telling him to sell it. To me.

Re-read the OP’s first post. There’s a GOTG nearby on location. No Elvira anywhere to be found. Easy choice. Go play GOTG whenever you want.

Of course you are entitled to an opinion, I am also entitled to disagree with yours. In fact I don't even disagree with it, I just found your logic to be flawed since your argument is last ability and you've only played Elvira for a few hours, AND the OP is already bored with Elvira.

This

Not sure what you’re talking about, but obviously you didn’t read the posts.

I clarified my take on last ability in my last post. And 40 games for me lasts more than just a few hours.

And can you show me where the OP stated that he was “already bored” with the game or he asked about last ability? I’m not seeing it.

He actually said he loves the game and the multiball. And was debating on freeing up some cash.

PM me a price. I can pick up anytime this Friday-Sunday. I'd take that Last Action Hero Also.

GOTG is a fantastic game, lots to do in it fun modes and with the Cleland sound package awesome on the ears. I have owned GOTG twice now got rid of it and then really started missing it so got another. It is a great game for all ages, takes a good layout and adds more to do. With the choose your path it helps to keep the game fresh with ways to play it.

With that being said I also really Enjoy EHOH and would love to be able to find one once Covid dies and Stern is back to putting them out. It is also a very deep game with smooth flowing shots. Can't go wrong with either

Hmmm I don't know, maybe the fact that he is thinking of getting rid of it.

People say to sell ehoh then buy another if you miss it. Good luck with that. Ehoh all the way as a keeper

Why do you think that will be a difficult thing to do? This game will remain in production for 2+ years with the demand it has.

I heard from a guy who heard from a guy who heard from a distributor that EHOH is going back on the line soon. Early next year maybe? No idea if true.

Bless you, my brother.

That's what they keep saying isn't it? But with backlog and all the new titles, it might be pushed back aways. I do think more will be made. But not soon

The 5000 game back log includes EhoH

Geez, sorry for voicing an opinion. I hope they make more, its such a great game. No intention on selling ours, so not hoarding or price jumping.

Don’t waste your time on @nicoy3k. Lad has been on here for 5 months, and obviously engages in confrontational posting. What a promising start.

I think your pooch is telling you to keep Elvira as you should!

A great Lyman ruleset vs. a not so great non-Lyman ruleset.

Keep Elvira.

Noted. Thank you!

Yes super confrontational. In the real world people have different opinions. Learning how to deal with it is a good idea. A forum should be a place for discussion, not a circle jerk.

EHOH by a mile, the grass isn’t always greener on the other side.

And Nelson I prefer the Jessica Simpson, but I did get a good laugh out of Mother Teresa.

I’d keep Elvira

Relax, this isn't Gettysburg.

The OP is just looking for some thoughts an opinions on the two games. You don't have to try to counter everything that is being said.

Dominus vobiscum my friend.
