I had TWD Premium on my wanted list (still do actually) but I stumbled across a nice Pro recently on a trade and I couldn't say no. I've been having a blast with the Pro the last couple of months, and that's kind of taken the gusto out of me finding a Premium, although if I find one down the road I'd probably swap the Pro out for the Premium. I do miss some of the features like the spinners and walker bombs. The well walker magnet wasn't that big of a deal to me. The lifting ramp for bicycle girl and the crossbow toy are pretty cool if you have them dialed in and working right, but I'm pretty cool with being able to loop the CDC mode and Bicycle Girl at the same time. The crossbow mode isn't that bad having to use the flippers to shoot so I've gotten way cooler with that than I thought I'd be.

I did add some mods as without the color changing LEDs of the Premium, the Pro does look really bare. I added the fish tank illumination from Mezel Mods, which adds a nice touch of green to the back right corner and serves as a good indicator of how many heads you have to collect to finish a fish tank and light Woodbury. I also added the blue behind the back board ramp illumination to add a little dash of color other than the red. tan, and cool white lighting that's everywhere you look on the Pro.

You could buy TWD Pro now and enjoy it as I have been doing. I gotta say I played the thing like mad the first month and a half, but have cooled off it a little recently, because when I play it I've gotta be in the mood for a pinball fight, because that mofo isn't gonna just let me step up to it and have a casual game. Nope, it's gonna fight me every step of the way, which is what I love about it. But... I have to be in the mood for a pinball fight. Sometimes I just want to bat the ball around and chill, LOL, and TWD Pro isn't the game for that.

Just dive into the Pro end of the pool and when you're ready, swim down to the Premium end
