I sold one of these to a good customer for xmas. She purchased the NHL version in black , rangers vs devils . I agree with the boo feature , it did seem a little delayed . The issue with the size is an option . You can have the base ordered as a split so it can be brought in a normal door way . i love this game and the newer version is just amazing ! I'm redoing a 88' it plan on selling when done and buying one of these . Here are some pics of the one I recently sold .
