Does seem high, but really need pictures to say more.

check out this thread, might be the same game as in the same state I think.

Sweet, Im looking forward to following along with the restoration...

With the color DMD, it doesn't seem that far off.

Kind of agree with 85. Color DMD, pricing may be pretty close.

The snack bar hole is pretty rounded out. Should be square

that looks pretty good Soulrider911 , yes the snackbar hole is rounded out but with a cliffy that should be fine and depends on the restore can be strengthened up underneath to support the cliffy, slight wear above the rhs flipper in the aqua blue - probably from a flogged out flipper at one stage and slight wear on the bottom on the M insert but that is fairly common but both could be touched up, holo may or may not be ok - maybe brought to life with a green led or go for a non holo mod (can give you info on that mod), shooter lane has wear but with a restore would be a good purchase and cabinet is black in that area near the flippers so you can do a minor restore there.

for the right price would be a good one to get

edit - would also change the batteries to a separate holder to avoid acid damage

The fact that its local to you is worth a few hundred bucks... If its a title you're looking for, fully working and has a nice hologram its definitely worth it especially with the color DMD.

I would agree, considering I heard on a podcast the other day that Tommy from This Flippin Podcast sold his for around $6500

check it out, have a few games and check the flashers near the subway holes etc work and enjoy

Dude, you love the restoration process...seems you would be happier doing it yourself...

I don't think the price is too high at all. Especially when you factor in the West Coast price bump.

Price is very good, if it were near me it’d be gone already.

I would value it between $3700-$4200 based on the pictures.

I sold one a couple years ago with a ColorDMD and speaker panel mod for $4900 that was in much better shape. For your other option, that seems high unless it has an NOS PF in it though not enough detail to evaluate.

I bought a HEP restored Creature with an NOS PF and speaker panel mod for $8k and then added a ColorDMD after I sold my other one. I know prices have increased in the last 2-3 years, but I still think you would be paying a premium for either one.

Wow! I would buy all the Creatures I could get in this price range with color DMD and good hologram...

I didn't think you bought games that weren't CQ or close.

Really? Not true at all. I always look for a good deal but do prefer the CQ/HUO ones for sure.
