I not sure if I will ever get to play a LE(in any model), but I liked the Pro version of TF. LOTR takes to dam long to play a game.

Same here. Played it and fell in love. read lots of negativity but knew I loved it so I bought and now I love it even more. Awesome game. Have fun!

great game, love it too!

Still not bored with TF after almost a year Looking foward to the updated code.

You have to take everything people say on this web site with a grain of salt. I can't even read threads about Xmen anymore because people try to make it a bad game when in fact,it's one of the best out there. I haven't played TF yet,but I will,& I plan on owning one in the future because it looks BITCH'N,& I'm a HUGE fan!!

I picked up a pro recently. The more I play it the more I love it.

I had an LE on order when I heard about the Tron rerun. Cancelled the LE and ordered Tron but will buy a Transformers if Avengers is crap.

I have played my buddies TF Le a lot and love it.

TF-LE still the most played pin in my line-up. Always challenging....Love it!!!

yep, love my transformers LE, when people come over to play it is one of the most played games in the line up.

Oh look, its two newlyweds off on their HONEYMOON

I just find this confusing in light of the original post in this thread; you must REALLY love Tron

+1 here, Still have my TFLE,
not going anywhere.

If you truly love it you need to put some of these on it:

Very good advice indeed!! I wish I'd have done this to mine!!

TFLE is a great game, the haters are very vocal, but probably only represent less than 1% of those that have bought and or played.

The later Transformers have these fitted from the factory.

My LE is 420/500 (or something) and it has them.

Dave.

So, does anyone have any news on a code update?? Like approximately when and approximately what?

never tried le, but i love the pro. really good game!

I enjoyed the game greatly when I got to play a few games on it. Wish I had more time on it. The sound really rocked!

i love it too !!

I have a spare front decal around here somewhere if you need one.

That's strange, because TF IS a slower adventure game. To actually get through and complete all 8 modes, 2 multiballs, mini wiz and wiz - that is going to be as long as most LOTR games.

Now that would be an offer I couldn't refuse!! I did write to Stern sending them the same pics I posted here, but didn't hear back...

I'll PM you for details!

I had a chance to play it at Metahugh's and thought it was pretty awesome. I enjoyed Spiderman more, but it was still awesome.

Really? Did you call them too? I was able to get a complete replacement set & a set of replacement plastics.

I live in Europe and bought mine from a distributor in Holland... maybe it makes a difference in their customer support...?? When you wrote to them did you send them a copy of your invoice and/or warrenty stuff, or state the model number? I just stated my number because I seem to have misplaced my invoice...

Bought my TF Decepticon late in the summer when the prices were bottomed. I couldnt understand the hate for it because I played a Pro earlier in the year and loved it.

Looking forward to the updated code at Christmas.

Congrats on your new game.

Add some FF speakers to it. It makes it even a whole lot better!

Score on the plastics. Seen a set and they wanted $300 for them. I really want to get a set as a spare but not at $300. Gladdy would have paid $200. If you want to sell that spare I'm a buyer

Trent told me that the reason the TF plastics are so expensive is because it includes all the parts of the ramps that are plastic. While that makes sense, in terms of the definition of 'plastic', it doesn't align with what most of use desire/expect.

sigh.

Hook the pin to an external sub and prepare yourself to be blown away.

Traded my lotr for a TFLE combo (with FF full upgrade) just this past Saturday. Good trade, I needed something new and more modern.

The game is out of hand! Almost think there's too much going on at times, but the more I play it the more my brain and reflexes catch up...the game is just fast and in your face. I hate to admit it, but I agree with what some have said..the new machines make games like SM - at least visually in a side to side comparison - look antiquated.

I'll be interested in what the code update brings. Might be the difference between turning it over in 6-12 months or keeping it for years. Now that I've finally traded a machine, I can see myself doing it more regularly. Hell, no game is as good as LOTR, but I love having a new, bitchin' game to play!

one thing i'll say, is that compared to games like IM, Avatar, Tron etc., the latest Sterns - TFLE among them - just seem like a LOT more game. I agree that less can be more...and I'm not sure yet if/how TFLE could be better...but this game is loaded. Haters just wanna hate I guess. Saying this game sucks is ludicrous. And I love the LE over the pro. I've played the pro and like the pro, but it's no contest.

Please. There are legitimate critiques and to write us off as "haters" is bullsh*t. If you like the game, that's fine...but don't dismiss absolutely legit critiques. Not many games are flawless.

Really! You took that as an attack? Relax. Fairly positive thread of folks enjoying their games. Its ok to walk away... ; )

Not an attack, but dismissal of legitimate critique as though anyone who judges the game poorly is just doing so to be an contrarian. I realize this is a positive thread, and that's why I didn't repeat the list of flaws...if people like the game, that's fantastic - doesn't affect my life at all. However, I'm just saying - those who don't like it - our views aren't based on nothing.

Also, you misquoted me w/ Family Arcade's quote.

Yeah I get sick of that too. I liked this game a lot at first...but it wears on you.

ummm....wtf are you talking about greg? I can do a search on pinside and find hundreds of posts just bashing TFLE right and left. Some fairly. some not so fairly... and some just ridiculously stupid...which is what i mean by "hater"...someone ignorant that just doesn't know better making a stupid negative comment. And "TFLE sucks" is a ridiculous comment. I stand by my opinion on that. "TFLE sucks because.... " is not typically ridiculous, because someone is explaining themselves. I may not agree with them, but I'll respect their opinion.

My reference to "haters" was totally general as a statement of some of the trashing this game has gotten. It was not in reference to ANY one or ANY thing posted in this thread...which has basically been a love fest up until your post. I'm surprised you took it the way you did. Did you think I was lumping you in with the "hater" group? I recall you having issues with the game...but not "hating" on it. Dig?

I really want to try this game. Been looking for an autobot version.

Funny you should say this. I have been thinking about looking for an Avatar LE.

BTW, I plan to review all the genuine critiques of the game I've seen, because i'm interested now. As of now I think the game is far from flawless, but I enjoy it more the more I play it, and that's a good sign. It's certainly fun to have in the line-up. When it stops being fun I'll move it out. I'm very curious how the new code will/can impact the game.

Max, does a ball ever not completely go into the megaton trough? I've had it happen 2 times now on slower shots into megatron and had to nudge it during a ball search to get it unstuck. Tilted the first time.

Yes that is a major issue or common problem. Optimus not registering hits is another.

Everyone seems to make an "omg I'm loving (xxx game they've had for two days)" thread, to be followed by the inevitable for sale thread a few weeks later.

So far I've experienced no issues nutting Optimus. Love that shot and it works fine for me. had the ball get stuck once in upper right hand corner of machine at top of ball launch...not sure if it happened during a MB auto plunge or a loop shot.

Aside from my freaking Allspark cube literally falling off it's fitting (anyone experience this?) he thing feels as if it's built like a tank. All the shots feel totally locked in. I like the way an accurate shot feels.

Does the Allspark left kick out need protection? Cliffy doesn't make anything for it.

Everyone? How many Pinsiders are there?
