Quoted from snaroff:toys are lame and the ramps are boring. I owned a stunning HEP restoration and couldn't justify keeping it. The theme also did nothing for me.
MB would be a much safer choice for CGC. AFM/MB/MM are popular because they are engaging games with cool original themes. As I said before, CC is sought after because it's rare. If they start churning them out, it's no longer rare. OTOH, if they rework the game/rules, I could change my tune.

Not sure I totally agree with you here. Invited a local Pinsider over to my house to check out my AFMrLE because he was considering buying one. He noticed I had a CC (with Continued) and wanted to play it because he had never played one. We played a couple of games. He was hooked! He really forgot about AFM. He loved the theme and when Cowboys and Aliens came on.... Oh Boy! So Its really opinionated on how good the theme is and the game play. The other thing I like about it is the flipper sounds (im a flipper sounds nut) That game must produce a thousand flipper sounds from a dozen games (with continued). Just like to bump that flipper button when I pass by it!
