I agree as ive had a very nice afm for few months now set up pretty difficult and man its amazing and i cant get enough of it. Better than mm and mb for sure and man hitting the shield and ship never get old. Plus when u get the strobe mb ...man what a awesome feature. The rules are really great and the 4 martians are funny as hell. I actually think the b.o.m wld be about the same as mm . Lots of neat features on afm that i never really noticed till i owned it .

Afm is much better than any stern pro and has more going on than any stern pro so i wldnt count on it being that cheap. Why everyone thinks it dont have as much parts compared to mm is not all true eaither. Afm has a good bit of stuff like the strobe light and board. 4 martians, ship and special light board and bracket assembly, subway, vuk, scoop assembly, motorized drop target bank, 3 ramps, martian ships, wireforms, 9 targets and then all the regular stuff pops, slings , 3 diverters , flippers and so on . I dont think it will b much cheaper to make than mmr except for the board set technology cost and maybe some common parts. Id think it b around 7500 for standard and maybe 8k for one with color , powdercoat, shaker .

Afm is amazing and my favorite pin over mm and mb . Theres just something about it thats awesome and to me a perfect pin . The strobe mb in complete darkness is just awesome .

Thats what im trying to explain here .....

Noooo ....still lots of b/w pins in great condition for well under 7k.

Owned one for a while... your not missing much as its nothing special imo. Its fun for a month or 2.
