At first glance the game looks fun with a lot in it. It's nice to see metal ramps and metal habit rails on all models. The premium and LE have a few detailed 3D molded interactive mechs which is a nice change from just flat plastic overload. The premium / LE van ball lock looks pretty slick as well.

Damn, hearing that theme song flicked the nostalgia switch on in my head. Game looks cool but after waiting 3 years for Ghostbusters code and seeing what happened with Munsters code its wait and see for me.

I'm a bit tired of hearing how Pinball Browser can "fix" audio and callouts. It can't. Adding your own audio isn't the same as a mode being originally designed around it by a team of professionals. For $6k -$9k+ these games should have a lot of licensed assets. A huge part of the cost of these games is software development so the more licensed assets a game has the more value it holds in my book.

Really looking forward to the LE only custom song!

Not sure if anyone else feels this way but when I see anything Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles related I think "That was a cool part of my childhood" and that's about it. I used to love TMNT but it got left behind as I got older whereas other themes such as Back to the Future and Ghostbusters have stuck with me into adulthood. I'll still watch Back to the Future and Ghostbusters once or twice a year but haven't watched anything TMNT related in almost 20 years. If a new Back to the Future trilogy pin was being made I would be all over it but I can't say the same for TMNT.

I think clips from the original show would have looked pretty slick being played as shots are made. Here's the first episode of the show. The LCD could have turned into an old console TV when clips are played. If something like this was in the game I think it would attract more buyers. Instead the game feels a bit generic but I understand the code is early. I wish Stern would have done something similar to Batman 66 with TMNT and had a wide range of modes based on season.

I like almost everything I'm seeing about this table but I'm a bit concerned it may be not be deep enough. TMNT ran for years yet there's only 8 episode modes in the game? That doesn't seem like a lot. Maybe my 8 year old self would be fine with that but not know when paying $6k - $9k+. I'm a bit surprised the number of modes per season approach wasn't taken with this title. The show ran for 10 seasons. I wish there were 3 episode modes per season and several wizard modes in total as that's the type of ruleset that more often that not helps justify the price of these games in my opinion. The multiballs also seem very jackpot generic in that you are not progressing through a story / scene within the multiball but rather just collecting shots (jackpots) for points.
