How much of a Star Wars fan are you?
if not let it pass- sorry

How about the groovy, disco-esque MIDI music? The game has major flaws, but is the best SW pin. I say, if you can score it for around $1600 or less and it is in decent condition you should definitely get it. If you ultimately decide to sell it, you won't have any trouble getting your money back.

good luck,
Shawn

If you are a Star Wars fan then you won't regret buying the game (just don't overpay). You'll want to confirm whether R2D2 works (head rotates and he moves up & down) and that the Death Star works (rotates). Also ask whether the ramp has been welded - the side often separates from the bottom, which can lead to some cheap hack repairs. I bought mine having never played the game and I am having a great time playing it. You can find new plastic sets at Marco's if any are broken.

- nice tips pdxpinduck

Thanks HDC. Another thing to mention is that everyone notices and gravitates to this pin because of the theme. Some of my favorite quotes - ball drains from the outlanes and sometime gives you Han Solo "we're in trouble" or Luke's response to finding out Vader is his father "Noooooooooooooooooo"

Besides the above mentioned tips, the major source of wear is around the scoops. Make sure those holes are in good shape and protected by Cliffys. You cannot buy another ramp if yours is beat up, at least not quickly. People say the repro plastics are nowhere near as good looking as the originals. Haven't seen them myself.

Personally, I didn't really like the gameplay. It also has some software bugs because it wasn't finished.

I'm a SW fan, but didn't really like the pin much when i played it. It was alright.
But at less than 1500$ you can't go wrong. Nice examples of this game go for around 1500-2000.

Best SW pin and great toys. The game play is based on a couple of shots (the Death Star and ramp) so it is pretty shallow. The ramp gets hammered so welds break as mentioned above.
I love the game but don't want to own one.

SW was my 1st pin! I love it and play it everyday!

May the force be with you

It is a fun pin. I had one and wish I kept it.

Your call. I've never played it.. SW sure has a HUGE following.

I had one and I kind of miss it. It is a real "on the fence" type of pin. Great theme, good implementation of the theme, nice looking. Not so great rules and gameplay. I can understand arguments either way, for and against. If I had more room, I'd probably have kept mine.

I noticed that he doesn't show side shots of the cabinet. if you can get it for 1500 or less, you won't be dissapointed.

Cabinet artwork photos are a must!

Wow - completely even split at this point (7 buy its and 7 passes). What have you decided Rascal_H?

Check it out in person and play it
if you dont buy it at least he can put a face to your name - might help latter on on another pin?

It would not fit in my top 12.

The back Glass art is VERY , VERY well done.A sub-woofer is cool in this pinball.I over paid for mine 2,200 has some wear above flippers.Oh well .I agree with tatman9999 fun pinball.I would get it .

Get it because it is the best Star Wars machine and since there have been 3 machines based off that same theme in a period of 7 years('92-'99). I really don't think that there will be another machine that will be released that has a SW theme to it.

Maybe Clone Wars? The animated series is doing well.

I was interested in that pin but I just read your thread. I will not bid against you. Good luck if you decide to go for it.

I drove to Carolina Beach to Pick up a SW , It was ok !!! The Pin Wasn't Enough to keep me consumed.. I did like the Upper Rt. spiral Habitral .. $ 1200.00 Pin .. While i was at the Beach i picked up a Goldeneye & and a Champaine Fire. I almost bought a Sorcerer .. But the guy lied about it's cond- He had it listed for $ 900.00 I got him to $ 500 . When i saw it i got Pissed.. He offered me the Pin, a Foosball Table and a Dart board for $ 300.00 .. 2nd Floor ( No Thank's )

But Everyone like's Different Pin's.. Buy it,, Sell it if you don't like it.. otherwise , You Will Never no !!!
