    Just curious what you think about toppers.
    Personally, I will only put a topper on a machine if it's special
    I love the TWD topper and have one, but don't think the IMDN topper is anything special and I passed.
    I also like when the toppers are integrated in the game like the TWD topper

    I loved the older machines that used to come with toppers - FT, WhiteWater, Whirlwind

    I usually only get the topper if it came with the game these new stern toppers are to expensive IMO. The TWD and GOT toppers are pretty sweet though.

    I sort of agree, I thought the TWD topper was worth the cost at the time, but the IMDN topper is not.
    I don't think Stern should be pricing these all the same

    Out of all the games I have, I only have one topper. They're expensive and a lot of them aren't good enough to make me want to spend the money.

    So far, that one game is Shadow since I thought it was a nicely designed topper. If I ever get a JY, I'd probably get that topper too.

    I have a topper on all my games. There are some really good ones and some that are not so good but I like consistency of the looks.

    TWD
    ACDC train
    Ghoastbusters
    AFM LE

    Wanted dead pool and Iron Maiden to have great toppers but stern didn’t deliver so I went after markert with Tilt Toppers.

    Not normally a fan of toppers, however I brought an LE when it came to BM66 as I thought the topper looked killer and it is fantastic! Only topper I own but I love it, Stern knocked that one out the park!

    The only thing worse than the way they look, whining every goddamn day on pinside aboot when Stern is going to release one.
    At least back in the day people were hand crafting them around here, but we knewm Stern was going to sweep in and gobble those monies up.

    I used to get them for a few games but that was before I owned more then ten games. Now i dont buy any mods. Too many games for that.

    Personally I think they make a pinball machine look cheesy, but I'm glad they are there for those who dig it.

    I have only seen one topper that I had to have (Ghostbusters Ecto-1 lightbar topper) and it was worth the money, even more so now given it's very tough to find one.
