Yea I love the theme of the Getaway way more than Tommy (HATE THE FLICK WITH A PASSION), but Tommy looks like it would last longer in my house. lol
2 very different games.
Getaway is fast furious fun, the accelerator toy is a blast - I always enjoy it but I tire of playing it very quickly, and this is without ever owning one.
Tommy is much more mode based - the Union Jack is basically the TAF mansion. Some great multiballs, and as mentioned the unique blinders
I'd go Tommy, I think overall there is more to keep your interest long term - especially with the recent Chad code rework !
Another consideration is that a Getaway is usually easier to get hold of so if both available right now I'd go for the Tommy.
Tommy...unique blinders feature are a big difference maker. Set it up properly and it's a bear to play.
I own both... have had them for 20+ years. I would be hard pressed to let either go. Not even sure which one first. Sorry no help
Getaway is an awesome game that is very fun to play. Easy find, easy to sell, always going up in value, well built, great theme
Tommy is a fun game not based on the movie based on Broadway show. Good game, just if you're buying one, buy the Getaway if you ever sell which I won't sell mine, he it for 10 years, you can sell or trade easier as it is. A bmw
Both great pins. Either pin is easily resellable.
Tommy has more to do like others said. It has modes just like the other DE pins if it’s time. Harder to “beat” if you will.
It does have a little of the DE pin feel though. Not a big deal, but imo doesn’t have the build quality of Williams. Or the smoothness.
HS2 I just couldn’t get into. I’m not a racer or into cars etc. It’s a fun pin however and I love a little ZZ Top. Just gets a little stale.
Tommy for the win. Plus, The Who, man?!!
I rate Tommy well over Getaway. I sold my Getaway recently . Great game ,don't get me wrong. I then brought a Tommy. Installed a "Pinsound" board . This game is kicking my arse! Tommy is my 15th Pinball..this one is a keeper!
Would love to get hold of the alternate translight if anyone knows where to grab one.
