Don’t feel bad for me Glenn, I just traded my LOTR straight up for a fully restored MB w/ color DMD last week and couldn’t be more stoked! It plays like butter, and if it wasn’t for the remake coming out I never would have been able to get one.

But yeah, I guess somebody who spent 13 grand a few years ago, that definitely kind of sucks. Win some ya lose some, and I’ll certainly lose when they bring out the Tron Vault and TOM. But think about all the fun I get to have with them in the meantime!

Well... my LOTR was HUO, fully brassed, and had a pinsound, color DMD, tilt topper, and led ocd... so it wasn’t like a huge steal or anything. Both of us were super happy with the trade so that’s all that matters!

I’ve owned the remakes of AFM and MM, they were fine games and I have no complaints.

I recently picked up an original MB and it looks and plays like a dream. It might not have a head banging Dracula with lasers shooting out of his eyes sitting on top of the thing, or shake the house when I hit a monster, but I’m having just as much if not more fun than I had with either of the remakes.

I dunno, like most who jump into the hobby I used to be guilty of sticking dolls and toys all over my machines. Now that I’ve spent some time just enjoying and actually playing the hell out of them instead I’m OK with a nice playing dusty old dinosaur such as my MB.

Can’t wait for the other remakes so I can pick up some more dinosaurs on the cheap, please keep buying them and telling other people originals are relics, I truly appreciate it!

It’s all good, totally respect your opinion man! We’re all super fortunate that we can ignore real world bullshit sometimes and debate the merits of toys here. Never really saw a reason to be a dick if you don’t agree with somebody. Honestly if I didn’t trade for my original MB I’d be all over that remake. They’re seriously great for everybody
