My opinion? I’d sell your CGC LEs to fund like 5 new games

Personally, looking at your collection I'd mix it up with a different 3 flipper game but understand that may not be your jam in which case I'd pick Deadpool over CCr. IMO out of the 4 remakes you've got the best 3

Deadpool is personally my favorite pin so I’m definitely going with that. I only played CC a few times but I never thought the original was even that great to begin with. The case for resale may potentially be in favor of CC later on but if it’s just buying for enjoyment, it’s hard to beat DP.

DP is top 10 also. I owned an AFM for years, was fun but pretty simple by modern standards and I eventually saw all it had to offer. In my opinion DP is one of the best modern games. Unlike the other titles they've remade, Cactus Canyon was never a top 10 game and is feasible as a remake only because it was rare.

I'd get CCr LE to experience the interactive topper and everything the LE brings and then sell after you've had your fun. You'll likely never get the LE cheaper than NIB (see: your other CGC LEs).

Deadpool will be easier to pick up later long term at a reasonable price. I'm getting a CCR because I like western themes and the code will be vastly better given recent announcements. If you wait and miss out on a CCR you'll most likely have to pay over MSRP to get one. I do like Deadpool, one of my favorite Sterns. Unless the pinball market takes a dive in the opposite direction you'll always be able to sell CCR and break even or make a bunch extra.

DP. Get a Prem if you can. It’s one of those games where it’s worth getting the upgrade. The Pro is good though

CGC makes a great product but for me MB is a distant third from AFM and MM. CCCr likely won’t be up there with AFM and MM and this guess is just from me playing the original game.

Very true statement on the fun factor of the remakes. MM is basically AFM with a castle and both games are loads of fun. MBRLE lasted about 6 months in my collection. It's pretty wood coppy IMO. When I've played CC in the past, I felt it was beneath MB. Bearing in mind that it wasn't the continued code.

However, the CCrLE will go up in value for two reasons - rampant inflation that looks like be around for quite a while and its limited.

Dp. Easily. Cc fun, for about 5 minutes. Dp moved up in top 20 last few years, now top 10. Dp pro = a great pick vs. cc and unknown code.

Also, when will you get cc? 2023?

I agree. I have both AFM and MM, which looks like the OP also has, and even though they are similar owning both just works! I looked hard at MB but passed, but the LE is a work of art. CCr will also be a stunner but I just have a feeling after 100 games it will take me a while to get the next 100 games played. Value wise it’s a safe bet though, but everything kinda is.

I have been around the block being in pinball for a while and I am past the point of “I will just buy this or that because it will hold its value” and I only buy games I know I will enjoy. That is why I won’t auto buy CGC’s anymore even though they are a safe bet.

Thanks for sharing

Premiums went up $1200 not pros. If it did find a new distributor

DP all the way unless you want to keep CCR in the box or put hardly any plays on it and flip it.

Did you purchase through Zax or AMD? I put a deposit on a DP Prem in June, haven't heard anything regarding extra cost.

DP for sure

Two things.....first I don't believe they're going to have a standard/classic edition. Just a special edition and a LE. Secondly, Stern had a price hike of $1200 due to part shortages and the cost of labor right now is thru the roof. That being sad (CGC) will be going through the same thing. It might not look like a price increase due to them never releasing a price but I can promise you that it'll be much higher now than if they would have released CCr 2 years ago when they planned on it.

I've played Deadpool on a couple of occasions (on freeplay so lots of ball time) and honestly I don't get what the fuss is all about. It is a fun game? Sure. Is it THAT great? In my opinion, no.

I would 100% go for a CCre, I'm sure it will be a classic game with the updated rules. Plus I really like the western theme in general for a pin.

Did they contact you regarding the price change? My DP Prem order is with Zax and haven't heard anything.

Just wait a little longer to decide, my hunch is CGC will have a bit more information than just about CCr ??

wait until you know what they will do with the new CC software

I second this.

Of course u don't its not a B/W game. I love all those classics as well, although I never cared much for CC but they can't compare anymore to the best of modern pinball machines.

It’s one of those home environments type of a game to really appreciate; shots, music, sound, rules, art, diversity, etc…it has the total package.

I know it’s probably not an option, but DP premium really is the best way to go. That left loop alone gives the game so much more flow rather than the stop n pop(s) feel of the pro. Might want to go CCR for that reason alone; but a Deadpool or other stern would give your lineup some diversity. Have you thought about Godzilla? Pro and premium look to be monsters (pun intended).

Pros went up $1200 here in Australia.

The Cactus Canyon (Remake - Special Edition) code is yet to be seen. Now that we know Lyman is working for CGC it could be exceptional.

I am in the same situation as MrTilt. AFMr and MMRr are my only two pins, so I put money down on DP premium. However, if the DP purchase gets screwed up, I wont be buying CCr. I was interested and intended to buy as soon as it was released but after spending some more time playing it, I changed my mind.

I go for cactus canyon. I love Deadpool premium, but if its a pro, have to go cactus canyon. One of the best games I have ever played. And they should improve it with code.
