Quoted from Whysnow:

I genuinely don't care for Mehtallica pinball. I have never understood why people like it aside from theme. It really offers so little. JAFL, Ok art, code based 100% on making it to crank it up which is wood choppingly boring to work towards, and the most drawn out main multiball start with that stupid sparky. "Ag ga ga. Agaba a agaggagaga a agagaggagagaga" crap gets old after the very first time.
stern has some GREAT games, mehtalica is not one of them and honestly everything about GOTG is an improvement if you like that layout.

Quoted from Tranquilize:

I guess I'll join the flame train. I've never preferred Metallica for most of the same reasons. I also do not prefer ACDC, but I do enjoy playing Tron. Stern rarely hits it out of the park for me. My "love to play" list is pretty short: IMDN, IM, ST, LOTR & TSPP. That being said, I chose the word "prefer" carefully. I can still have some fun playing almost any pinball machine.

Quoted from tamoore:

I can see why people don't like MET or AC/DC. I own a MET, and to progress it is a damn grind. Fun game, good flow, great dots and neat theater.... but the game is made for and by competitive players.
Lots of people who have bought AC/DC sold it because the rules were just too complicated to be fun.

Quoted from tamoore:

I have 33 games. I wouldn't take any of them out to put an AC/DC in. And I like AC/DC the band. I just don't think AC/DC is a good pinball game for me.

Quoted from Pickle:

So now the real speculation can begin. With the run coming to an end which version will be the real collectible/highest ranked one......The LE has a known number and some like the art and others like me can’t stand it..just doesn’t tie into the playfield well for me. Monsters art ties in the best. Road case is probably the lowest number produced. But then you have the whole Metal vs wood backbox debate. Will be interesting to see where value of old pins are 10 years from now compared to what they will be making in the future.
