Hey fellas. I'm finally catching up on all of my pinball watching and am in the middle is the latest STDM episode. Awesome as usual. I'm still slogging through the Pinburgh reveal LOL. Bowden was a beast, I'm worn out from even watching it. I was watching the Buffalo tourney from last weekend too.

I heard a rumor that Stern was going to do a Deadpool pin back when I bought my Star Trek several years ago (long story). So I knew that it was coming. At the time I was like, "Deadpool, Meh. It's fine, but I'm probably not interested." Flash forward to the first pictures of the awesome art and unique layout and I did a complete 180. I wanted to order one right then. I have enough dry powder for one Stern Pro-ish pin before the end of the year and Deadpool was going to be it. Then I watched the stream. Jack Danger did an amazing job with the stream itself, but watching the game play gave me some reservations.

First, that Lil Pool character is WAY to prevalent in the game. He's everywhere during the multiball when you lock under the bash toy and it looks like that multiball happens multiple times per game. Too much Lil. Deadpool. He's sort of annoying, very Jar Jar like.

Second is the ball times. I don't play like Jack Danger, but I'm not horrible either. I'm concerned that the game will play forever. Yes I know that you can remove rubbers and posts and change the rules, etc... to make games harder, but I like to keep my pins as close to the way one would find them on location as possible from a game play standpoint so I can compare my scores to others' scores on Pindigo, etc... I don't want to buy a brand new pin and then have to PAPA-ify it to make it tougher. I get why PAPA does it for tournaments, to time the banks. It's genius, but I don't want to do that at home in my arcade.

Regarding OBO. I just listed a Police Force yesterday for sale or trade $1,250 OBO. When I decide to sell a pin, I price it to sell. I don't like messing around trying to scrape up every last penny. Unless I know for sure that someone is a flipper, I'll sell it to the first person who responds and offers me that price. The "Or Best Offer" comes into play if no one offers what I'm asking, which is rare. In that case if I still want to sell, I might take less money. The "Or Trade" part results in even more ambiguity for the situation. I may decide that the broken Whirlwind that someone offered me is the "Best Offer" and go with that.

I personally love TNA, but then I like classic pins a lot. I think that most of the old Stern games are super fun, Seawitch, Stars, Meteor, Cheetah, Star Gazer. Awesome, awesome, awesome. TNA has the same feeling. Ripping the spinners in TNA is just like playing those games, with added modern touches.

The music of TNA, the speed, the ball save timer, the unique layout compared to most games today. It's a blast. Yeah, the art is meh. In my house we consider a C to be below average, so I'd give the TNA art a B to B- maybe? The game definitely very linear, but I don't mind that playing it on location. Were I to own one, it might get old if it wasn't part of a reasonably large collection though.

I'm always amazed by how many TNAs are on location. They've "only" built a couple hundred of them and they seem to be on location EVERYWHERE. I've seen it at Sunshine, Eight on the Break, The Pinball Gallery and Rock Fantasy. That's a testament to how much people like it.

I keep toying with the idea of getting one. I think that I'd love having one for myself, but I know that my kids and wife would like a licensed theme better. Plus, they're tough to come by. I'd rather go with a newer Stern Pro in the high $4s than $6 - $7 for a TNA. Some guy in my area bought a HUO TNA with a butter cab for $7G, put it on location and is now trying to sell it for $10G! Ten thousand bucks for a routed TNA, no thank you.

Just finished the episode and I have to say that I am both horrified and disappointed. Greg, how can you not put mayo on your turkey sandwich? MAYO IS DELICIOUS. Turkey sandwiches are too dry without it.

Quoted from Frippertron:

As the ambassador of shit games, BW has fun shots and a fun multiball. It doesn't compare to other shit games like Rescue 911, which has one OK shot that leads to a shitty shot. Every System 3 is better than that piece of garbage.

I've owned Four System 3s over the past several years. I actually really enjoy Rescue 911. The helicopter is cool. The layout is fine with me. The Life Force sort of Wizard Mode is a little opaque if you don't know what you're doing, but I still really like it. For $1,250 or so I'm having a blast with it. As far as System 3s go, I definitely like Mario Andretti less than Rescue 911. I find Cactus Jack's to be pretty annoying. Shaq Attaq is pretty bad. I hate the looks of Freddy: A Nightmare on Elm Street. 911 isn't a classic by any means, but I've gotten a lot of bang for the buck out of it.

Quoted from Whysnow:

Just tell me the date when TNA will be readily available for 4-5k and I am in.

I completely agree with this statement. If TNA was available for in the $4,000s I'd have one right now.

Having said that, I highly doubt that it will ever sell for that little. Think about it, there's going to be less than 500 of these bad boys produced. 500 games is nothing. I'm buying a game today that is considered somewhat rare and three times as many were made.

Given the popularity of TNA on location and in tournaments, the steadily increasing number of locations with pinball and the increase in popularity for tournament play alone should put a floor under used TNA pricing. I would be very surprised if TNA is ever available for less than say $5,500. The only way I see that happening is a significant economic recession that impacts pricing hobby-wide.
