I doubt it has much effect on the prices of other games but I'm really excited for Eric and JJP and it's great to see that they have a major hit on their hands! I hope they sell a ton of them. I'm out on any machine at the $10K price point, but if it's a major seller that improves my odds of finding an LE for a good price in the HUO market 6 months or a year from now.

They have the same number of flippers but I think Maiden Pro makes better use of the upper flippers.

I bought Iron Maiden despite not being a fan of Iron Maiden's music based primarily on gameplay and rule-set. It will be interesting to see if the same can be said for this game. Will people still buy it in droves if they don't care for GNR's music? I think it looks fantastic because I am a big GNR fan, but I'm not sure if I would have much interest if it was themed after another band like Iron Maiden, etc. I definitely need to play it to see if the gameplay and rules hold up.

And the Twipy for pinball Nastrodamous 2021 goes to thedarkknight77. Used prices on all games besides GNR went down. Oh wait....

That's true. I still think GNR is an incredible machine and one of my favorites but I think a lot of people bought off hype alone. And the early playfield issues certainly didn't help the matter. It's a relative bargain today considering Stern Premiums are $9k plus.

Metallica is the other one that comes to mind for me. Without Lyman it could have been another Stern Indiana Jones which is another Borg design that didn't have great code to save it.

Also Tron and Iron Man to a lesser degree.
