Just was looking for opinions/thoughts on the matter.

Transformers price has just plummeted, but Attack from Mars has held a high price.

When comparing the 2 games; play, theme and price. Would people prefer to own Transformers or Attack from Mars?

Note: Transformers is my favorite pin. Where I play pinball (not my home), they have an Attack from Mars…that I play all the time.

Quoted from Rarehero:
I traded my TFLE for an AFM….that said, I sold my AFM after about a month.
I vote for RFM!

How did you make out price wise?

Today, it would be a blood bath with TF.

Quoted from Rarehero:
Even trade. It was early in TF's life and AFM hadn't gone apeshit in price yet.

Wow, what a great move on your part.

I prefer Transformers over Attack from Mars, but Attack from Mars is still great.

Quoted from yancy:
Oh, and to answer the OP's question, AFM by a mile. This is like Muhammad Ali vs. Steve Urkel.

Urkel would win.

I already have transformers.

Just looking for other opinions.

I'm shocked Amazon hasn't lowered their price yet.

It looks like the Star Trek LEs are getting closer to being sold out. I see automated is out of them. If they truly are the largest supplier in the country, then that is saying something.

Are people starting to warm up to Transformers?

Quoted from underlord:
TFLE is a long term pin in my collection. One of my favorites.
Strong playing pin, lots of stuff to shoot for. Fun factor is high on this one.

My Transformers LE is the one pin I will never part with.

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:
TFLE should have gotten a mirrored backglass. While some say the pro plays better (not enough games on the pro to say) I just don't know if I could sacrifice the bling of the LE. TFLE combo is one of the most striking pinballs ever made. A highly mirrored, glossy backglass would put it over the top looks wise.

100% agree on the backglass.

They could've done something similar to Star Trek LE with the speaker panel.
