Quoted from boilerman:

Aurich did you see it up close?

In defense of this pin, I have, personally, seen it up close and played it many times. I have seen 3 unique Strange Worlds. One at Pinball Forever. One at Arcade Expo. And this one. This one is in the best shape of the three that I have seen. All I can say is that I personally feel that this pin is actually underpriced. I've talked to a number of people who have said this pin is worth $1300-$2300 depending on condition. If this was in my collection, I wouldn't let it go for less than $1800. I would give it a solid 7/10 and regarding play, imho, it is actually what I would consider a play trainer. To play this game you need to use extreme ball control. After mastering this game, I'd wager your abilities increase dramatically.

Quoted from Aurich:

But it's not the wedgehead I'd pick for someone starting and EM collection.

I would agree that this may not be a good game for a single game house. However, I see no problem with this game being the first EM game in a collection. Also, someone commented that it was easy. There is no way this game is easy. There is no way to cradle and this game has some of the hardest shots I have ever seen. Additionally, in order to truly drive the score up, you need to hit 12 unique shots with the same ball. I never managed to even come close to rolling it. I don't think the owner has managed to either.

Quoted from DirtFlipper:

I doubt this is legit, but what the heck:

Too good to be true...

thoughts?

Quoted from DirtFlipper:

Could use a temporary Google phone number.

He just emailed me again "just been offered $4200 for creature...banzai...and twilight....been offered $475 on.defender ( no.way to contact you)..juke box ...and.stern stars still available"

Seems sorta fishy

Quoted from Aurich:

I'm kinda surprised Channing hasn't been able to move that at $1000. It's a rare game, doesn't seem unreasonable.

Can't agree more. Does anyone know if they have one at PPM? It would be super cool for the public to have access to it as it really does play well and is so rare.

Quoted from o-din:

The neighbors are playing basketball. It is still early. That is the Goodyear blimp looking for a sporting event. It was as close as it's ever been. I grabbed the camera as quick as I could.

Pinsane took an awesome picture of it landing recently.
