Trade for whatever you want brotha. I would definitely consider that trader for the TSPP if we were local to each other.

TSPP is legit

100% TSPP. TAF is very over rated super easy game. No longevity to the game. If you are even a remote Simpsons fan you will love the pin. With all the modes and mini wizards the game just has incredible depth. The sense of satisfaction that you get from this pin when you stack multiple mini wizards together is awesome. All of the call outs for the game, character voices, etc are amazing. Probably one of the best pins to really nail the theme.

TSPP doesn't "feel" like a STERN game, at least to me.

man im think about putting up my shadow for trade for TAF

So far, there isn't a better game in existence than TSPP IMO. If I could only have one pinball machine regardless of cost, TSPP would be it. Every time I play it, it's different. There's so many things to do you never run out of fun. (I like fun!)

I sure as heck wouldn't trade my TSPP for a TAF. There's just so so SO much to do in TSPP. Personal note, but I enjoy the Simpsons theme far more, as well.

I want a TAF, but not badly enough to part with my TSPP! I don't know if TSPP is the best game in existance, but it's definitely in the top 5 for me. You may have better luck just selling the TAF outright and using the funds for a TSPP.

Is cabinet fade a common issue on TSPP or did they vary somewhat between production runs?
The ones I have seen had cabinet side art where background characters are faint while main
foreground characters are vivid.

This side cabinet pic shows the background characters more vividly.

This front cabinet pic appears to be NIB and yet characters are very faint.

Keep the TAF. It's a great pin. I played TSPP and it almost seemed like a chore to me. Maybe with more time on it I'd feel differently, but as it stands TAF>TSPP..... Of course, I'm not of the mindset that deeper is always better. Besides TAF has plenty to do on it and then some.

I totally understand the desire to change it up, but a HUO TAF would be a hard thing to give up, if it were me. I have played TZ a lot and definitely think there is to much in common with TAF. Goodluck on your pursuit and let us know how you make out.

I miss my Addams...it was my first..was super nice too

Yes I'd do that trade if I was tired of TSPP. It's still new to me though, so it's not going anywhere soon. Mines HUO from Todd M.

If I had cash I'd buy another TAF. I have limited space though, so there are many other pins I'd rather own first.

TSPP is better than TAF, imo....if I owned both at the same time and needed to sell, TAF would go first...I just dont adjust my ratings much to change it so my ratings are exactly in the right order...its not an exact science...i love them both in different ways

I really love TSPP.. but I'm absolutely dying for an TAF.

TAF is probably my favorite pin of all time.

I'd go with TSPP myself so much to do and a wide variety of shots not to mention my favorite upper playfield of all time.

You may have answered your own question. Since you are considering getting a TSPP
I raised the issue of cabinet artwork quality to see if someone in the know would comment.

TSPP has caught my eye as well as a nice game to have, but I would personally not
give up my TAF to get a TSPP. Personal preference. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I love both games - really. But if it came down to one over the other, I'd say TSPP. there is just so much to do in the game and it just keeps giving you more challenges.

You should make the trade for sure. I'm sure other people will say 'but TAF is so collectible', 'the quality on Sterns suck', and 'you'll never be able to get one back' but straight and honest truth is that TSPP simply kicks the crap out of TAF from a gameplay/rules perspective. There's simply no comparison. Keeping a game just because it looks nice is a bad idea in my opinion, what's the point in that? It's not furniture. And frankly even if it was, more people love the Simpsons theme than the Addams Family theme at this point, the Addams Family license has been dead for like 20 years now, only people over the age of 30 would have knowledge of it at all.

So I say go ahead and make the trade. The game times are long, but it honestly doesn't sound like your TAF games are that short anyways.

Nice.

Dude, we gotta have a pinball party. Not this weekend, but the next i'm open... my Black Rose should be up and playing like greased lightning by then.

TSPP for me.

TSPP by 100 miles!

I wanted a TAF forever but I'm starting lose interest in older B/W games. They don't have the depth of the rules of the newer sterns and I need it to stayed entertained.

No don't Shadow to me is alot more fun.

Just a fun note, if you play the game and notice the garage doesn't want to stay up, the fix is SUPER SIMPLE. I had two of them, and the first one I just assumed there was nothing I could do to fix this stupid problem... my second one, I replaced the coil with the next one stronger (per STERN's instructions), and it's been 100% dynamite ever since. Don't tolerate a lazy garage door, do the coil swap. It's dirt simple and a must mod!

And, as far as playing a game that you want to "beat", you will never EVER beat TSPP. Just simply getting to some of the smaller objectives will feel like you made a huge accomplishment, since there is So. Much. To. Do! No, Alien Invasion isn't the wizard mode. No, Springfield Mystery Spot isn't the wizard mode. No, Secret Stash isn't the wizard mode. And yet, they all would pass as a fine wiz mode in other games... I sort of doubt anyone's seen the actual wiz mode in this game. You will find yourself playing for points in this game, unlike TAF, because if you only play to "beat" it, you will get discouraged. That's why I got rid of my first one, because it's (virtually) unbeatable.

There are people that have made it to the wizard mode, I only know one personally...very highly ranked player..
