Quoted from Damonator:It would have sold out in an hour if they had of allowed distributors to buy games like they have for past releases. But it will sell out for sure at some point. I think the original run of 550 games took over a year to sell.
I know this is a strange concept for people that are new to the hobby, but prior to 2020 it was very common for a distributor to have tons of titles in stock. Even LEs were typically available for many months.
TNA is a cool game that has always appealed to me. Despite the steep price, I'd be more tempted to get in on this latest run if I wasn't already in on this (new gameplay video link below);
Quoted from Rarehero:I have a Rush LE & can confirm: the expression light show is just mindblowing.
Word. I rarely buy LE's, but this one was worth it for the "Expression Lighting" alone!
So much so ... that I hardly miss my GnR and its fantastic light show.
Quoted from Sorokyl:thoughts?
If your desire for an IMDN is even close to that of a TNA, I would go for that instead as it's a great shooter with multi-strategy deep code! I like TNA too, but I think most anyone will get tired of its linear gameplay in a small collection.
My 2 cents anyway.
Quoted from Sorokyl:I don't know if they ever actually enforced that. It looked like could buy it the day it came out, unless they check for your fant membership at the very end...
Spooky enforces it. Until they open TNA sales to non-Fang Club members, you can't checkout on an online game purchase unless you've paid to join the club.
Quoted from JSC:I doubt there are many people who want this game at 9K and aren’t willing to buy the membership. Maybe a couple, but I feel like if you are hardcore enough to be interested in TNA you’d pay the extra 50 bucks. This game isn’t getting random casuals like a TS4 and Halloween theme.
I'm sure that you're correct.
The fact that Spooky is essentially charging an additional fee to purchase a game that hasn't been an immediate sell-out (like their recent prior games) makes it feel even more like a money grab though.

Quoted from Tomass:Wrong. It has more to do with price compared to other mfgs and what is in the game. Just bought a GZ premium and a TNA would cost me more for what is much less of a game in my opinion. CGC also offering so much more for less.
The latest offering of TNA is comparatively expensive - no doubt.
What continues to draw me to it is its uniqueness though. You can get more features, mechs, depth of code, etc for your money with a typical modern Stern Premium, but there's nothing else on the market that really offers the cool light show, music, and high adrenaline gameplay package that TNA provides.
That said, I haven't gone from admirer to buyer ... yet.

Quoted from Lamberger:Guess a couple of guys aren't diggin Alice. The animation is fantastic, not as good as the animation in TNA tho...which must have taken forever to accomplish.
I dug my Alice Cooper - a fun game with a fabulous upper playfield! Loved the artwork/vibe too - especially with Medisinyl's mods added.
My only real criticisms would be the shots being a bit too tight and I wish the code was more developed to better capitalize on the use of weapons and multiballs.

Quoted from JToeps:it's at an expo hall...
And your point is? Is it too much to ask for the OP to find the lighting electrical panel room and hit the applicable breakers?!
We need properly lit pics dammit!
