Can't wait.

This is a big turnoff for me, I really dislike non-pinball side games in pinball (cannons included) and to me, this is probably going to be in the class of gorilla in Congo (for me) with regard to fun, and probably a big flow killer.

I have to admit that DP is making a great effort (aside from the Alanis Morrissett music in the preview).

It's a dream theme for me, but I am withholding judgment for now. But love the LCD placement and size.

Link is dead for me iPad at least

I don't want to seem negative but it's a big part of the game, I mean from the effort they put into that area it's obvious that it's really something special. I just am not sure it's my kind of something special. I know we'll see in time. As far as extra PF go, it really looks killer. But I am just thinking recall back-box games like on CV or T3 or whatever else. Cool for one or two times but not something I'd like to spend time on. I feel the same about most Video modes, on the one hand it's nice to see designers thinking out of the box or doing something a little different, but they just are not for me, as I prefer to always be flipping. In fact lower PF on AcDc is quite enjoyable for me precisely because it's true pinball, meaning 2 flippers and although it's not like a real size PF the geometry and shots / loops are fun at least for me.

I agree, that you may not like the movie, but it is probably one of the best comedy movies of all time (to me) and I watch a lot of movies up to 100 movies a year. And TBL is one that really stands up to repeat viewings. It's almost a pin that I would buy just for the theme especially if they do movie call outs and clips and songs all of which it sounds like they will.

I know other people feel this way about Predator (the movie) that it was truly above. But to me, while I liked Predator, it was something I could watch more than once but not what I'd call a landmark movie, to me it's much the same as many other Arnold movies of that time.

I wonder which songs were not allowed? It will be interesting as some of the songs are more powerful than others.

I can see this for some, but to me, zombies eating entrails, brain smashing is not appealing. I mean I like a good zombie movie or horror flick but I don't enjoy the gross stuff you mention. Not sure how I'd feel about it.

I am sure TWD LE and TBL (as well as The Hobbit and MMR) will be fun pins and will have many followers. Just hard to decide on one especially with no gameplay footage or better yet playing the actual games.

Pulp Fiction (has to be a consideration)

I see where you are coming from, I have all Sten, but I can understand the belief that Stern is not being as innovative as companies like DP or JJP. But that does not mean Stern games are not fun.

I bought these games new:

Tron $4600
IM VE $4800

That's $3000 to $4000 less than TBL and MMR.

I know the Stern LE prices are crazy and IMO Stern could keep more quality in their pros for the same price like PF supports and spinners for example which are removed to save a few dollars. But I don't see anyone entering the $4500 side of the market. Skit-B is close in that price range but not shipping and heck even JJP, PPS and others are having trouble with time lines.
