Just joined the 24 club this week! A friend of mine found a really nice example with low plays for a great price. He didn’t have room for it, and his young kids didn’t like the theme. So I bought it from him. My wife and I are trying it out. It may be a keeper. We like sleeper pins like CSI, so this one might stay.

Fun game with a wide open design, yet the shots are pretty tight. I find this pin to be a real challenge. If you don’t focus and really aim carefully, you won’t advance. Some pins are easier to just keep the ball moving and you’ll score well. This pin requires skill.

The cost-saving measures so common at Stern in the late 2000’s is evident. The artwork is so-so, the callouts are unintentionally funny. And yet, this is a fun pin to try to achieve the 2 wizard modes. I’ve ordered blades and I’m replacing the sniper. Has anyone found target decals for this?

Just joined the club again. Sold my 24 last summer and had a chance to add a HUO, minty version. I really like the speed and difficulty of this pin. You have to really focus on your shots. The sniper shot is brutal, and the suitscase isn’t a gimme. I’ve gotten to Save the President a few times, but never the final wizard mode. Cool game!

Congrats on your 24! Sorry you are letting CSI go. We added a really nice 24 a few weeks ago and placed it next to our CSI too! Both are fun pins with good themes. Congrats and Enjoy!

I can understand that, sometimes you have to let a game go if the price is right. We really like CSI, it’s one of the games we’ve had longest. 24 is a fun game too.

Thanks, I like the topper too, and the alternate translite.

Enjoy your 24!

Quoted from pinmister:

Probably has really bad planking correct?
Seems like Stern had some issues with both CSI and 24 cabinet art planking. Makes finding a nice one even better. I have not heard of any replacement decal sets available.

Definitely. I have a CSI in nice condition overall, but there is some planking on the cabinet. I had a BDK too, from the same year, in excellent condition but with mild planking. Something about the wood and direct printing combo during that era.
