Quoted from vicjw66:
At this point, Stern is the only manufacturer I would consider for NIB. The games are more fun and they just feel better. Which makes it all the more frustrating to see them go in the direction they have chosen. I like Black Knight, but I am not going to own one because I just can't get past the barren playfield combined with the lacking Black Knight toy. I really wish that instead of the upper playfield on the premium and LE, they spent that extra money on making The Knight awesome.
Munsters pro was fun the first 50 games I played it, but the code has gotten stale quickly and the mono targets just piss me off. The lower playfield on the premium/LE is atrocious. Would have been nice if it used a full size pinball that traveled back and forth from main to lower playfield. There is something about a trapped pinball that doesn't travel between playfields that makes it no fun. I'm looking at you AC/DC and Congo.
There are a lot of "what about" posts on this thread that to me are irrelevant. It's like politics. I don't care that the other pinball companies have their problems too. Pointing out their shortcomings is not going to make me overlook Sterns.
If you don't like mini pf's, you won't like Munsters..doesn't matter what it's coded like., or how many targets it has.
If you do, it's one of the best out there...Stern made an effort, imho, and glad they did. A solidly built, fun machine., w a great theme..
Frolic says it best..." Buy what you like".
I'm much more sore at JJP than Stern at the moment, but doesn't rule out a future purchase.
I'll be paying attention to what comes out, and choose what might be best for me. Choice is good
