TWD by a country mile.

Sounds like you want to buy a Ghostbusters, despite all you've heard about it's "playability" and are looking for some people to back you up on a decision you've already made. You are just gonna get a rehash of a million other Ghostbusters threads.

Buy what you want this isn't life or death. If you decide GB isn't for you, sell it.

i have very very little experience with GB but i played one last week and noticed a lot of air balls (wasn't aware it was a thing). can this not be fixed by angling the spot targets very slightly forward, and other minor adjustments like that?

apologies if this has been covered 1013200q24345 times in the GB threads, haven't really been keeping up with them.

A couple of people have made clear plastic shields to help prevent airballs. But yes, airballs are a common problem.

I'm in the same boat as you and chose TWD Prem. It ships Friday.

Looking beyond all the obvious pluses of GB (which is probably worth buying as well), TWD has completed code, likely won't be available NIB much longer and most importantly it's a Borg/Lyman pin. Same team as Metallica, Tron, Iron Man, etc. They're like Jordan and Pippen.
So, it was a pretty easy choice for me. Stern will be cranking out GBs for at least 2 more years. No rush there.

Can't go wrong either way. I chose GB Premium but as others have mentioned TWD is the older more established game.

Metallica is my advice or TWD second choice

As a bonus Met pro is cheaper and just as loved as the premium

I did the same thing. I got my TWD Premium a little over a month ago. I love the GB theme, but the truth is I've gotten very little playing time on that game (I haven't seen one on location, and there is always a line at shows). After Stern's PF issues are resolved, I can look at getting a GB down the road, but I am really loving TWD.

For me. GB is the way to go. Code will develop, the layout and toys are just great on GB. Airballs, so what, $20 plastic and ur good.
Only you know what you'll like best tho

Simple, don't buy either. Stern has to many QC problem to waste that much money on.

Have you considered Metallica?

I've played several GB pro's and have not noticed an air ball issue. I think that is a premium/le issue with the steeper ramp. I'm still waiting to play a premium to see if better than pro. Pro is fun but has issues. Gameplay is such a mixed bag. Some parts great and others parts weak. Overall I enjoy playing it but not sure about buying one. I recommend getting more play time before getting one.

I've actually noticed the airballs seem to die down a little bit as the game gets "broken in" - not seeing them as much on our pro. The scoleri targets and the standups on either side of the left ramp were the main offenders.

I like GB better, but I am a Dr. Flash fan. Although you can't go wrong, both are fun pins. Have you played both of them?

I just got a twd prem and loving it. my friend has a gb and I just can't get into that one yet. I don't see me ever owning gb.

Twd all day and night and twice on Sunday. I wouldn't even consider GB. TWD is so flushed out with incredible code. I tried to like GB, I really did, and to me it is just.......well....

Get TWD .

I own a TWD Premium and will soon have a GB Premium.
I'd suggest you take a TWD since the code is done and the game is proven to be fantastic.
You'll get great value for it down the road that you can sell for a GB if you decide that's what you want to do.

I HATE the the reversed flipper crap. I avoid GB because that's not fun for me.
Of the two you're considering TWD is my choice by far.

Met is a better game. I would pick Twd Prem if it was my money between the two in your post.
