Please no custom call outs, I'm not against it but stick to lines from the film, I'm still not over the Karl Urban ST incident of 2013, it will be with me always, and if this happens that song "who you gonna call" while I did enjoy it when I was 10 years old will cause possible irrevesible damage playing constantly in the background, otherwise could be a great pin, definetly needs hand drawn artwork depicting all the imagery from those films, river of slime, Gozer and so on.

Its very hard for me to disagree with Captain Kirk but I have to in this case, they suck.

Custom callouts weren't needed for ST, it is loaded with movie quotes and nothing more was required, that was done in a very sad attempt to get buyers for the pin. Its rare anyway that callouts are done well, LOTR's is an exception for sure but Met, TWD and most others are just plain sad.

I would rather have a Conehead's pinball, I like GB's 1 and 2 but my favorite parts seem to be all about this guy.

I just noticed while watching GB's that theres a Stargazer in the very small game area right before they get the first call and slide down the pole, great film.

What Whitewood, Ghostbusters?

Same thing happened to me, great game but it was a combo of long ball times, POTDead and that main theme which I can't stand, I've only played GOT pro but would rather have that over LOTR's. Great pin but done for me, very few pins last forever.

My games are set to the highest possible pitch, love speed. Listen I love LOTR's its just for me any game gets repetitive in time but those with long ball times leave the fastest epecially after I've completed Wizard Mode, STLE was the same thing. Theme tends to keep a game in my collection longer than gameplay and even then, I have room for about 12 to 15 pins and they all change every year, by this time 2017 my current collection will most likely be completely different. I don't think I can sell FH or Stargazer, Elektra and Centaur but who knows.

Buy a SM and play the shit out of it, the game is amazing but its lastibilty is on par with LOTR's and TSPP, STLE etc.

Could be, but I like speed and if that makes it easier then thats alright with me, if it does I think its very minor and the difference in straight down the middle's due to speed balance it out. I play my Stargazer every day, a few times a day as even a real good game only lasts 10 to 15 min tops but STLE, I knew I was in for the long haul, I loved it but how many times can you play through the same modes all to acheive the same goal, keep in mind thats me to each his own, I play a lot of Dr.Dude and love it, never get bored of those shots so I'm a strong believer that theme plays a major role in longevity with pinball, hell I've had the multiball in FH countless times but never get bored of it, As always the ultimate scenario is to have enough room to facilitate massive amounts of pins and that by the time the latest and greatest in the collection is starting to waiver you can start over again and rediscover that intital joy. I do that now by re buying games, I just picked my second JM, JD and TS and love them, but for how long???

Yep, I need both so I'm glad we have fast and nasty and slow and deep. Wait that doesn't too good. No I'm sticking with that.

Exactly

I would prefer Stern adopted the PF display over anything else, I don't really care about the display myself and while the large LCD in the bacbox is nice its not going to matter if the gameplay is shit, Stern pins are so fast for the most part who has time to really take in the display but on the PF it could really add to the experience.

Yeah me too but like you said for the score or timer and wouldn't it be even better with the display on the PF? maybe not. I like the Heighway model best, gives me the option.

I agree for the most part but really like the PF lcd and need to see it with a better theme like Aliens not sure how you can judge it based on one pin, the animations thus far via FullT aren't doing anything for me, still its more of an innovation for me than a nicer display in the backbox, DMD size is fine , really like DP and Spooky models.

This might have been covered already but is it based strictly on the first film?

Ghostbusters 2 was great, come on.

I'll say it, my countries dollar value sucks when it comes to pinball, I erased the rest because of bitter, no sense of humour having D Heads. You guys must be fun at parties.

Its a joke, <edited> you guys are lame.

She has a point, I grew up with those films but would much rather Stern was making something cooler, Blade Runner or Predator, way better films and themes to be had from the 80's.

Great theme for pinball.

3 unattractive women.

A thought from a great man.

I think this is the future of pinball, imagine the posibilities?

Yes sir, I don't care about the display at all, some of my current favorite games are alpha numeric, I will say I like the Heighway style the best right now.

What? Yeah I don't care but if I had to choose from the current line up my preference is Heighway, I like the PF display as its at least somthing different and somewhat more interactive with gameplay, make sense now?

what? I don't know what ur saying, one guy said 4 unattractive women and for me I find Kristen Wiig attractive so I corrected him and said 3, not sure what the reference to the original men not being hunks has to do with it, r u a women?

I think hes saying that display isn't that important, I agree as its the last thing that would keep me coming back to play a pin. I'm not saying I don't want LCD or like DMD's etc. just that its no big deal for some of us. I'm not buying WOZ or TH because there not my style so how is that beautiful display helping with the overall appeal, its not is the answer, I would rather play Stargazer to be honest.

Please stick to movie call outs and leave the custom crap out of it, it will most likely be terrible and ruin it, more than enough material to work with. JMO

Who cares what anyone else thinks of how you spend ur money, some guys buy cars worth 100K plus or put rims that cost as much as a car for their tires, vacations and lets not forget clothes, watches, jewlery etc. all of which means nothing to me, I like a nice car but I would never spend alot on it because its not important to me, you know what is, Aliens LE, if I wanted GB's then the LE/Pre for sure with no thought of cost, I would offer twice what a pin was worth if I had to have it with no thought of what the re sale value is, you know why? "Im F---ing stupid, I don't care about price."

That lucky bastard Zuul, "there is no Dana only Zuul'

Please let me know where one can be had for 9K, from what I can see it will be more like 11k with taxes.

Some guys make 1K a day some 5 and 10 when you take that into consideration and being a pinball fan I certainly wouldn't consider price all that much. I have many friends who could afford to buy NIB games every month but no interest yet a trip to Europe is an option or I know a guy who just spent over 10K on a new stove so we all have our price and priority. I would much rather have GB's LE and use a toaster oven for the next year.

I wrote this same thing then decided not to post, you only made one mistake with 7K, non stepped on coke and one night with 2 high end ladies of the evening, I've done that and its a memory that will last a lifetime, so if my 2 choices are the above or a GB's Pre/LE then I'm a lucky fella.

Wait a minute thats the real topper?

Looks to be in classic Stern fashion of speed and brutality. Looking forward to seeing the Pre/Le in action. I wish the track that plays during the skill shot was the main theme music. Stern should start allowing the option of the player to choose the main music that plays like Met and Kiss in every game, also make it easy for the owner to add there own tracks via USB. Game looks great.

A pin thats looks amazing dosn't mean shit if the gameplay isn't there, I'll have to wait and see with GB's but GOT is awesome, fun fast and flow up the ying yang, AC/DC, Tron and so many others follow that model of nothing special to look at but man are they players, we all want every pin to be stunner and have the gameplay to match but if I have to choose I'm taking gameplay everytime. Its amazing to me that GB's is praised to no end based almost entirely on the PF art.

Thats why I said almost, point is with the exception of deadflip and gang no one has played it yet.

Thats why I said almost, point is with the exception of deadflip and gang no one has played it yet. I agree that it looks great and from what I've seen plays very nicely too, it just bugs me when people deem a game great or shit based on looks.

That must be why you forgot the most exciting pin of them all, Aliens

Elwin seemed to be hitting it pretty good, one thing with Stern pins is I've never had an issue making shots.

The LE art with black armor would be great I really think its the green powder coat that puts people off, I do like the Pre the best out of the bunch but I can't see side art on my pins anyway.

Oh I do much more than just eat my marshmallows Ice but thats for a different forum, I'll be honest I'm not a fan of the full armor which is strange I know but like the traditional style more, also prefer the car to the Slimer but hey thankfully we have the choice.

I'm glad I waited to see the LE in action and will go with the pro, why it isn't mandatory for the LE/Pre version of Stern games to have RGB GI lighting and full spectrum inserts is really shit, I would rather have that over the ecto goggles but to each his own, the magna slings are cool and the Slimer is great, Met Pre/LE has the best GI lighting in a game I've ever seen how Stern can go backwards from that is amazing, when a pin changes to all red or green etc. it adds so much to the look and gameplay.
