Game is really cool! I wasn’t a big fan of Hobbit or Dialed In. IMHO, this game blows them away. A lot going on, 3 spinning discs that give you rewards. Not a huge fan of mini play fields. This one is awesome. Left ramp is sweet with the diverted drop hole. Great ball lock with the chest. Tons of shots. Eric M. Hit a grand slam out of the park.
I have woke up the last 2 days thinking about the Pirates game. This kind of excite about a pinball machine hasn’t happened in a longtime for me. Glad I went to expo and got to play it. If you have the chance, check it out.
Quoted from marlboroman:That is the key for me to purchase a collector's edition, all elements have to be aligned... look, gameplay and original voice and music for it to be a true CE or LE. This is a big reason why the TRON pin is such a success!
You have an Avengers and Transformers. 
Quoted from thedarkknight77:It is a bummer about their being no video clips. There are a number of great video scenes that would have contributed to the total visual package. I feel like the video clips make the Hobbit a real stand out. Over all though, this game looks amazing. I cannot wait to play it.
Reserve judgements after playing the game. Game is awesome
Quoted from CaptainNeo:HEY! TF is a good game and looks awesome. Just enough elements of gen 1 to hold my interest.
I agree. I'm excited to have this game in the wild.
Avengers is better.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I agree. $3000 difference for not much physical bonuses. Seems extremely steep. That certificate is getting more and more expensive. People going to have to start keeping those certificates in a safe since they seem to be costing $1000's now.
The topper on the CE is really cool but yeah can’t justify the CE price for me anyways.
I like the LE artwork better.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:$8500 is a lot of a machine. You can almost get 2 NIB pros for that money. When justifying purchases, I always compare costs to other pinball things, to see if that one game can compare to the fun of 2, 3 , 4 or 10 games. The standard is almost 2k more than I paid for my premium.
Does I M Moon fall into this category? 
Quoted from TBatti:The reason I don't like it, is that it's been done before. I honestly don't like the repeated theme and people get too defensive when pinsiders call it out on that. Then come the downvote posts because we don't like the theme? It is my unbiased opinion and I have no stake in it.
New pin, new innovation and then the theme is a repeat. One of those things is not like the other. I would like to see more innovation and thought process when themeing a pin, that's all. Don't we as consumers want that? Companies want more and more money every year for their product but offer recycled material, why? Well I think we know the answer, $$$. Let's make a product that's entirely new so people will want it that much more. Will the game sell, sure, they all do but they may be missing out on maximizing their sales in my opinion. Will I play it? Sure I'll play it. Will I buy it NIB? Not a chance and it's not for the reason of the pricing of new pins.
I'm not saying I have the next theme breakthrough idea however, I find this release as a lazy fillin to get product finalized. I'm sorry most on this thread don't agree. Feel free to agree or disagree. Thank you.
How many times has Star Trek and Star Wars been done? A lot more times than Pirates has.
You have 2 Star Trek pins.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:no it's not. Nobody should have colored bulbs in the GI's anyway.
