The more I look at the CE the more I realize they stole some of the AFDs soul. The cross being modified broke my heart. I think I can get over fat Axl, but modifying the art on the side without the girl, albeit not like the original art (PC today) takes away from the original concept. The LE is killer imo, and embodies GnR. The SE is indeed rat fink.. I dont see these staying in collections like other pins.. the gather players, start songs, MB, rinse and repeat will get tiresome for those that aren't true GnR diehards. I can see someone saying at 200 games in.. which song do i want to play.. again.. Then the rest of us can snag one well below MSRP and not feel like you have to play it 4000 times to justify the price. $3k more for a CE. smh.. Curious how long it will take for everyone to realize this pin is not transcendent. Now that its been done, the light show will be repeated. I can't imagine JJP will go backward...

Quoted from nicoy3k:

Whatever you need to tell yourself to make you feel better about not having the game.

Keep telling yourself that this is the next POTC and Iā€™ll keep playing the two new sterns I added to my collection and pocketed 2500 as everyone dumps pins to afford the pinball machine handed to us straight from God. AND in a year or two Iā€™ll send you a picture of my low play LE I paid under 9k.. maybe even 8500.. Thereā€™s no question itā€™s a great pin, but Iā€™ve noticed the feeding frenzy on new pinball games to justify spending a ridiculous amount on a pinball game. The pinball community keeps driving prices up. $1000 toppers... $13k games. It IS insanity, but when you are caught up in it, you donā€™t see it. And yes, I can afford one Nicoy as that is typically your next response. Or perhaps I live in my parents basement. Youā€™re right. Your pinball game is MUCH cooler than my two.. and my left over cash. Back to kneel at the alter of GnR 2.0.

Quoted from nicoy3k:

I donā€™t give a flying fuck about the price of the machine after I buy it. I value the enjoyment that I get out of my games. When I buy NIB my expectation is to sell it for around 75% of what I paid. Coming into an owners thread and shitting on the game speaks to your own insecurities.

Stress out much? You need some meds. Strictly opinion on artwork like every other poster. Said the game is probably sweet. I like GnR. You have problems. Every post respond that doesnt agree with you, you lose your mind. U mad bro? Btw ill buy yours when you're done with it at 75%.

Quoted from jandrea95:

Why do you feel the need to come in the owners threat just to stink up the toilet?

Never said it wasn't a good pin. Im sure its great. That response was for Nicoy. Enjoy your playing your GnR.

Quoted from jandrea95:

Sorry about the misunderstanding, appreciate the courtesy flush

Absolutely.. maybe poo-puri. Lol. I was crazy excited about the LE but opted to wait to get my hands on one. Honestly I have never been more excited about a new pin. I drive my wife crazy watching reveals and gameplay. Will definitely want to snag one. I think all three are killer...

Quoted from Sako-TRG:

Agreed. I hate to say this, but the amount of disinformation bowling around is a little concerning.
Its plainly obvious that torquing down posts on a normal playfield does not result in de-lamination.

Not so.. I installed a cliffy on my GOTG and torqued it too much. Rookie mistake. It pooled a little. Anything laid on top of something else can separate.

I'm allowed to post because I hypothetically owned a GnR LE for an hour and 58 mins.

Seeing the LE in person.. wow. It's impressive. Lights, artwork, and detail in the playfield is crazy good. I get the hype. But.. as i inspected it prior to loading it up I was really surprised at how many posts had pooling issues. There were some posts with plastic washers, so no idea if those had issues. Not trying to knock the game, just a shame. I feel for you owners that have had to deal with it. I have a Dialed in. Not a single pooled post.

Curious.. as pinball prices continue to rise, it seems GnR is starting to drop. I see 17 for sale on Pinside right now, 5 distributors, 12 private. Seems like a bunch. Or did JJP make that many already?

Anyway.. cool game regardless. Nice to get to see one up close.

Gotcha. It has Cliffys so not sure if that's the case under it on mine. I'm kinda late to the JJP party.
