    No DMD = Lower Price. Simple as that. I'm not saying it's "right" but it's the way it is.

    Quoted from RawleyD:

    FH, SOF, WW each beg to differ. (priced higher than most GB dmd's)
    FH especially. Prices for that are interesting.

    I was making a generalization and those non-dmds are the exceptions, not the rule. They don't even come close to the highest priced dmds. Let's compare apples to apples when comparing our apples and oranges.

    Quoted from too-many-pins:

    Still not one reply from MM owners telling me why MM is worth the money?

    Why would we?

    The only reason i own mine is because I bought mine at about 2/3 market value and it still hurt to do so. I haven't sold it because i still like playing it, so do my kids, wife and infrequent guests. If someone made me a crazy offer for it, I honestly don't think i could sell. That IS NOT an invitation to make an offer.

    Anyone who mentions "bashing the castle gets old" has no grasp on the ruleset. To me, the game is about stacking all five of the madnesses (actually all four with trolls let to extend the multi), running through all the super jackpots during castle multiball a few times, battling for the kingdom, & completing royal madness. Barnyard multiball is just a cute little extra to amuse but hard(ish) to get. Beating the castles is just a means to complete BFTK.
