This is for OP, not you, by the way.

And so Munsters owners need only wait, what? 3 years? and then they get a good game!? GB has waited 2+ so far. Do I smell a pattern here? Munsters is fun to play now in a mix of other machines in a collection, and the code will improve if you wait. Sell it to someone who will if you can’t. This is supposed to be fun after all, and you sound like you have bitter beer face when you walk up to you Munsters. And if the NIB sting of the hit you take to sell it is too painful, well then don’t do that next time.

Even I flipped MBrLE at Expo before buying, even though I knew what the game was like already. It is an $8K+ purchase.

Has anyone ever bought a home stereo for $8k without listening to it first?!?

Haven’t flipped BKSoR yet just like almost everyone not going to MGC, but I have flipped Munsters and watched the BK stream. I love the BK franchise, but a Munsters Pre/LE would make me happier than a BKSoR Pro because I own Grandpa’s Lab 1.0, so I am a little partial, but the new music on BKSoR was too in my face/melt my face off so I would still lean Munsters for now. As with all Sterns, all bets are off until the last code update drops.

Best. Post. Ever. lol

But isnt this exactly what is happening with CGC remakes? Wait, nope, there are a bunch of us buying these games because they are fun and we like playing them. You don’t like Addams family like some people don’t like old Gottlieb wedge heads, yet I just bought Central Park and have played it for hours already, and it is fun to play. Some of you people have problems putting how a machine plays in historical context to when they were built, and what they brought to the table back then. People are going to soon play Willy Wonka and they are probably going to be “blown away“ just like we were blown away when we saw Addams family the first time, so don’t discount our Bally Williams 90s pinball titles just because you have seen everything since then and think “mhe”. Have some respect for my memories of getting “blown away” by all these titles back in the day, because I still buy and play them now. Ymmv.

If so I know what Santa is bringing me this year...
