Trading my TFTC + cash for a TF:LE this weekend. The deal is done.. and from what I've played of the game (which isn't much), I haven't much enjoyed it, but I'm a HUGE Transformers fan so I figured what the heck.

That said though, there's one more software update rumoured to be on the horizon.. if Lyman has anything to do with it, hopefully it will be a polished gem.

Am I nuts for doing this? I just hope TF:LE doesn't go the way of Avatar LE or TRS LE.

I know.. just hoping Lyman gets interested in the game like he has with Tron.

Well.. I'm not looking for an "investment" pin here but I don't want to lose my shirt either lol

It's a unique pin, that's for sure.. and it'll give me a chance to work on a solution for Megatron's missing head. THAT drives me nuts..

This game would also be 100 times better without Mudflap and Skids on it. heh

That's what I'm figuring.. having Peter Cullen doing Prime as well as the classic theme song on a pinball game is enough to warrant the purchase for me. Just wish he did the other callouts as well

Well! I got it home.. very happy!! It was on route at a local coffee shop (~2600 plays), and it's still in great shape... minus the cab decals around the legs. YIKES! Stern used the cheapest material they could find to make these decals that's for sure.. WMS Repro decals these are not.

Still, very happy with the trade! Never thought I'd own this game... I'm enjoying it a lot more since the Power Pack fixes for sure.

Nope! Jason at the Pinball Cafe in Toronto babies his machines like any other collector.. they all get weekly cleanings. In fact, this thing's pretty comparable to HUO.. minus the crinkled decals by the legs (which is common anyway).

I did add some leg protectors to stop any further damage and hide what's already been done. I did the Pincab protectors with felt between the plastic and the cab itself. looks much better
