5k iron Man with shaker, LEDs, sub or GB pro?

I'm a simple man. I like fast pinball with lights and action. Very small line up. Usually play one pin to death and then sell. I'm ok with deeper rule set. Gotta be fast though or at least entertaining. I'm at a bar right now going back and forth between IM and GB pro. I like both. ST seems too linear. MET pro too slow. Which would u guys buy? Fairly pimped out IM for around 5k or NIB GB?

Ohh wee. This is a tough one.

I am a huge fan on Iron Man. I'm on my second one. It's a great game and never fails to give me a nice adrenaline rush in short order. Games are alway one shot away from exploding into a huge game...

I also just got GB Pro. It's awesome in a home environment. Similar to Iron Man, it can be approached in many ways and is fast and fun. Great game.

I'd say get Iron Man now, then Ghostbusters down the road. They'll be making it for years and production numbers will far exceed Iron Man. You should be able to easily find one another time. It'll also give it time to mature.

Iron Man.....Speed Demon all the way!

If we're talking GB Pro, I'd go with the pimped out IM. If a Premium GB is on the table, that changes things.

Get the IM and disable the orbit up post. You can thank me later.

Agree. Between those two, pimpin' is easy with IM. What a ride!

Ghostbusters is probably my favorite theme ever. The game itself is great, and I intend to get one soon.

Iron Man is simply my favorite game ever made. In the way of fast, fun games, I don't think it gets better.

I would take an Iron Man every single day first.

Metallica Pro can be set up to play incredibly too, so you know. If it's fast, it isn't quite as insanely cool as I think that IM is, but it's close. Time will tell exactly where I think GB falls, but I think it's also quite the hit with a unique playfield.

So, you can't go wrong, but for me, any pin versus IM ends with IM being my choice.

Wow. Very helpful!!!!

Definitely Iron Man, and I don't even like the theme or art.

I might know someone not far from you with a pimped Iron Man VE.
The price would be a little north of 5k though...

So do tell. Mine is enabled. What am I missing.

It increases the speed and flow of the game. Give it a shot to see if you like it. It took awhile to get used to, but I think it improves gameplay.

It makes the skillshot a true skillshot and gives you loops galore with no stopping for super pops. It makes it tougher to score super pops when active as the only way into the pops is through the center spinner.

Not a big fan of IM at all, but much it's much better than GB, easy choice for me.
