One of these games will likely be the next that I pick up, and although I've only put a few games on Maiden, these are probably the only two rock pins I have any interest in owning.

So, if you could only pick one, which would it be and why?

Thinking I might get a MET before they take it out of production, and then swap one of my games for a Maiden in the near future. Also don't like buying games right out of the gate in case there are any issues they need to resolve later in production.

Kind of what I was thinking, but I'm also concerned about manufacturing issues (chipping clear coats, ghosting, etc.).

I might go with MET Pro, and then in a year or so, I'll see how I'm feeling about Maiden.

I don't trust the reviews of any game within the first few months. Too many fanboys/girls just putting up near perfect ratings because a new toy is out.

I'll wait until that settles, and until I see more streaming gameplay and reviews.

I think based on first impressions, Metallica appealed to me more with all it's toys. I'm going to need a lot more time on Maiden to know if it's a fit for me.

Crazy. The votes are pretty much neck-and-neck.

Curious to know, what games has longer ball times?

Ramble on... That's the point of the thread my man

I'm considering selling my AFMR to make room for something new, and the only two games that interest me at this time are MET and IMDN.

A friend of knee just got one, so I think I need to put some time on it to see if it jives with me.

Votes 82/82!

MET still holding it's top 10 spot... Maiden ratings are settling slightly. Will be interesting to see what the next few months brings.

I still need to put some time in on this game.

How to chance to play both games last night side by side at a friend's place. Both are incredible games for sure. What I got from Metallica is that there is a lot of wood to chop. I made it to the first CIU and I guess doing it again is just repeating those same steps?

Iron Maiden was a completely different animal. I liked that it had so many different things to shoot at. I'm generally not a fan of upper flippers but somehow they work really well in this game.

I feel like they would both be very great games to own. So what I may do is pick up a Metallica since production is probably winding down and then when I've had my fun with it I'll move it out for an Iron Maiden.

I can totally see now why the votes are so split.

Looks like Maiden has pulled ahead a bit.

I need more time on both before making my decision, but one thing I've gathered about MET both from playing and reading comments, is that it's a lot of repetitive wood chopping. Sort of like MM or AFM, but deeper and with many more shts required.

I love my MM, but I'm likely parting with my AFM because it does a lot of the same, and in a collection of five, I don't really need two wood chopping games.

Thoughts anyone?

Thought I'd revisit this topic now that a lot of games are in homes and on location. Figured most of us have had a chance to put some good time in on IMDN by now.

So it's the battle of arguably the best two rock pins, or even just pins in general.

IMDN has been holding the #3 spot on Pinside for a few weeks, and Metallica has proven its spot in the top 10.

So I ask you again, if you can only own one of these two pins, what one would it be?
