Scott! Good to see you here on Pinside! Your old Jurassic Park is still getting lots of love and is a family favorite. I haven't forgotten that I owe you lunch for that powerball yet!

As for MGC, I'll be there as cheap slave labor again...LOL! JP might be making a return appearance...not sure yet. Might end up being that and CV again, but still might give CV a year off. CSI might come again...give more people a chance to play it. Hmm...decisions decisions.

Of course! How could we possibly set up that room without the official energy snacks of MGC?

LOL!

Any requests for what I should bring this year? Are you guys sick of seeing CV since it's been there a few years in a row? I'm probably going to bring 2 but that's a little flexible.

Consider it done. You must not have been at MGC last year...we actually had 2 of them there. Go figure. We joked that we had half of the entire production run there!

I like bringing games that not many people have gotten to play. That's why I brought CSI last year and my WoF when I still had it. Both games that get ripped on mostly because people haven't given them a chance. I heard quite a few people comment that they were both better than they thought they would be.

Will there be an LTG sighting at MGC this year?

LTG@MGC that has a nice ring to it...

Grand Lizard would be great to see...don't see that one around much at all. I'd also love to see either Sorcerer or Taxi. Those are always great fun and I don't get to play them nearly enough!

I'm not so sure the 2/3 gamers 1/3 pinball thing is right anymore. We had over 200 machines last year and it seemed to me the arcade was way more packed than the console rooms. I have no idea actual numbers, but the show can't be described as a video game show with a small pinball section anymore. I do agree that the mix adds another level of fun, and I always enjoy slipping away to check out the console stuff too.

Do I have to do your dirty work again to get an invite?

I guess that's a good thing. Someone has to take care of those poor neglected machines...

On a bright note, I scored an AFM tonight! Granted it's just on the iPad Pinball Arcade, but still. It rocks! LOL

Woah! Going to have to go find out if they will let me in to play without paying for a movie ticket! Nice!

I will try to find out this week if we can just go play. If so...maybe you need to road trip over here next weekend. Sheboygan is only like 10 minutes from here.

Just played it last night after work. I was able to just walk in and play, but there wasn't anybody by the usual ticket-taking place inside the door, so I have no idea if I was supposed to be able to do that or not...LOL! It might not be a bad idea to call first and ask for anyone planning to check it out.

I haven't played any other Avengers to compare, but this one is set up pretty brutal. The outlanes are very hungry and it feels steep even though the bubble is centered. I was happy that they seem to have it pretty level. Very short ball save...not enough time to cover pop bumper time usually so I had a few lost balls without ever flipping. Hulk's arms could use adjusting as I had a couple stuck until ball search, but only twice in the 8 games I played. It's .75 per play with no freebies for buying a bunch of credits. I didn't match at all in my 8 games...oh well. There is a tournament running for $1.50 per, but I didn't try that. What really sucks is that it only showed the tournament scores (which I beat pretty easily, but wasn't on tournament...oh well), not the regular high scores, so I have no idea if I had a decent game or not (though probably not, LOL). I think my highest was 19 million, which didn't seem too bad for not having a clue what was going on but just having fun.

As for the game itself, it was alot of fun. Very strange layout that seems like a total mess at first, but it somehow works and works well. Not really like anything else I have played. I didn't really figure out too much of the rules, but what I saw seemed nicely polished and made sense. It definitely seems to have a leg up on X-Men software from what I saw. There are some great callouts and a LOT of humor, especially from Hulk. He is definitely the star of the game. The shots are...strange...but very satisfying. The Hawkeye shot was probably my favorite, although I have no idea how the diverter works for the crossover ramp as every time I shot it, it went to the Loki ball lock (and of course I never shot it enough in one game to actually start that multiball..LOL). I could see where the ball needed to go for the crossover, but I didn't see a diverter there, so no clue how that works. Magnet maybe? Or something I just didn't see with the lighting there. The Hulk saucer was infuriating...I could not figure out the right way to hit that. I did have it fall in from the Black Widow ramp a couple times...maybe that is the proper way of hitting it since direct shots didn't seem to work without anything solid behind it. More than once I lost a game with extra ball light at that damn scoop! The pop bumpers made a cool metallic sound. Not sure if that was the sound effect or the ball noise itself, but it was a very satisfying sound.

The playfield art looks way better in person than in pictures. Backglass (Avengers blue LE) was a bit disappointing. It was OK, but honestly if it wasn't for the mirrored border I would have mistaken it for a translight. Not at all on the level of Wolverine or Magneto, that's for sure. I'm guessing Hulk looks way better. The few animations I saw while playing were great. Music was nice. Light show was fantastic.

Hulk multiball was an absolute blast! It was like the playfield completely transformed by the drops being all down, the ramp being lifted, and the whole Hulk area wide open (which it usually isn't). This is the "transforming playfield" that Transformers should have had in my mind. Very cool and an absolute riot with all the balls flying around, Hulk going apeshit, and an amazing light show. If I liked the game before hitting Hulk multi, I fell in love with it completely once I hit it. I wish I was a good enough player to hit the other multis and get further into the rules, but what I saw left me hungry for more!

I had to come home and go play X-Men right away to compare. The good news for me is that I still like X-Men better overall. If they nail the software, I still think it could be one of the best games ever made. Avengers isn't quite at that level, but honestly isn't far off either. Avengers wins in the humor department by far. It managed to capture that perfect combination of intense action and light-hearted humor seen in the movie. X-Men is more serious in tone (overall) and intense, but maybe not as much pure "fun". While I prefer X-Men at this point, I would LOVE to drop an Avengers right next to it. It would be a great 1-2 punch. Hopefully in a couple years I can make that happen.

Sorry about writing a book with this "review"...I know it's all over the place. If anyone is planning to check out the one at the Sheboygan theater, let me know!

Sorry I won't be able to make it Centerflank. There's just way too much going on between now and MGC and I gotta get some wax on the pins I'll be bringing yet! It always manages to sneak up on me! Have fun and play a few for me!

Wasn't that Herb's Whitewater? I never saw it, but Herb's a good guy. He's one of the Oshkosh/Appleton crew. Price sounded very fair to me with current prices how they are. Not every game is perfect...description sounded perfectly average to me and fitting for the price.

Avengers is haunting me. I want one so bad I am having bad thoughts again. Seriously considering trying to trade CV for an LE or maybe STTNG for a pro. I love both games, but have had them both a long time and they don't get the blood pumping like they used to. I think I'd have to have an LE though...I'm spoiled by Wolverine now. And STTNG has a theme that won't let me let it go (right?). Then again if someone would actually trade an Avengers/Hulk LE for STTNG it would probably be a done deal. Did I just say that?

The big 6-for-1 trade I did to get my Wolverine awhile back turned out great, even though I got rid of a lot of games I really loved. So this should be the same, right? Right now my Wolverine has really pushed everything else in the collection aside, so maybe an Avengers by its side would rule the world! Ahh...I shouldn't be thinking this. Talk me down guys, talk me down. I love these games...so I must keep them. Right? RIGHT? AHH!

It wouldn't stop there though...I know it wouldn't. I already am lusting after Metallica too. And I know Star Trek will make me want to do something stupid to get it. It's never ending. Damn I hate this hobby...it's a sickness!

(So anyone got an Avengers they would trade? LOL!)

No way...I respect it and can see why so many like it, but that game just doesn't do it for me. I've played both a premium and a pro and just couldn't get in to it. I'm sure I would get into it more with more play, but it didn't grab me from the start the way that X-Men and Avengers did.

Yup...hoping he chimes in. From his past posts he seems to love his Hulk quite a bit.

I figured you would bust my balls for this one Neo!

Stop that! It is NOT helping to talk me down! LOL!

So are you still loving Hulk?

No...no you are not helping at all...LOL! I need to get some more play in on one soon. Maybe I can sneak in to the theater again and drop a couple more bucks in theirs. Otherwise I really gotta get down to your place sometime! Thanks for the insights.

I am guessing it might drop a bit yet, especially when Metallica starts shipping and Trek gets closer. I think we'll see one more of the usual "sell off" push that will drive the price down a bit, then they will settle in and go back up some. That seems to be the circle of life in pinball land. I don't think LEs will get as low as the 4's though. I am purely guessing that it will hit mid-5's for a low, then settle in around 6-6.5 when the smoke clears. Same with X-Men. I think both have a better chance of going higher than that rather than dropping even further long term, but I don't think we'll ever see Tron LE / BIBLE levels out of them. I don't think we'll see Avatar:LE levels either though. Somewhere in between.

Can always count on you for pure bluntness and a good laugh! I love how people in other threads take you so seriously and never seem to realize that you are dishing out shit. Funny stuff. I think there are people on here that take things so seriously that they really want to smack you. LOL!

I played a few games on CV and STTNG last night. I don't think I could let STTNG go even though I've had it longer than almost anything in my collection. It's just too good of a game with too good of a theme. The trekkie in me would die a little if it left. CV was a little different. As I was playing I was thinking "no way could I let this go", but after walking away it popped right back into my mind. So I maybe could let that happen. We'll see I guess. I really need to play some more Avengers before deciding anything. Ideally I would love to keep them all, but space and especially money will not let that happen. The only way anything new can come in anytime soon is if something else goes out. Especially since my wishlist all seems crazy expensive right now. It's a disease I tell you!

OK guys...I'm going to make it official. Cirqus Voltaire is for sale or trade for an Avengers LE. I would probably be looking for a little cash coming my way depending on NIB/HUO/routed and condition, mods, etc. I am leaning heavily towards a blue, but could be talked into a Hulk or possibly even a premium depending on the cash coming my way.

This is the same CV many of you played at MGC the past 3 years. I consider it to be in nice condition...probably the top end of "players grade", but not quite collectors quality. There is some typical insert ghosting and the clear coat has a chip at the boom balloon and some lifting around two of the volt rollovers. All typical CV issues, but better than some I have seen. Other than that the playfield is very nice, bright and shiny. It was torn down fully (top side) and shopped a little over a year ago. I have discussed the playfield issues with Neo, and he thinks it could be fixed up fairly easily if so desired.

There are no broken plastics/ramps. The cabinet decals have some bunching around the legs that is mostly hidden by leg protectors, and a few other small marks. Someone drilled a few tiny holes in one side of the cab at some point...weird but I have actually heard of another with the same thing. They aren't very noticable in the busy cab art, but they are there and I am all about full disclosure. It does look very good yet overall. The stock lockbar holes were filled and touched up at some point, but you can see where they were.

It plays 100% with no credit dot or issues. I have had it at MGC 3 years in a row, including this year, with 0 issues (knock on wood) and it always get many compliments. It has plastic protectors, a real bell, the scrolls, juggler bounce out protector, home ROMs, original manual, etc. It has beautiful orange neon that has never given me any problems. The entire machine has been super reliable for the five years I have owned it.

That's the basics off the top of my head. I will try to take pics tonight and give it a good looking over to make sure I didn't miss anything. I'm sure many of you played it at MGC and can vouch for the condition. Serious buyers are more than welcome to come see and play it in person.

I figured I would post it here first to give the local guys first dibs before opening it up to everyone, CL, Mr. Pinball, etc. I will not ship, but I am willing to split the drive depending on distance.

As I mentioned, I prefer a trade for an Avengers LE (likely plus some cash). Cash sale I would say $7500 OBO. I will consider other interesting trades, but am pretty stuck on Avengers right now.

Contact me here or at [email protected] if you are interested and I will get pics ASAP.

Thanks!
Chris Matte

Sorry if I gave you that impression. Friday night is usually a time of irritation and overtiredness no matter what, so it was nothing personal...LOL! We do try to keep it from turning into a pre-party, but that never really works. No big deal as long as we can still move stuff around and it doesn't get out of control. Glad you had a good game at least!

Thanks for the other kind words guys. I appreciate it. I am all about full disclosure and usually end up making whatever I am selling sound like a piece of crap! It's a pretty nice machine though. Will have pics soon so people can judge for themselves. Also please note the OBO on the price. I know that's probably too high of a place to start, but SOMEONE in this thread talked me into putting it up there... Anyway, I am more than happy to negotiate from there, especially for you guys. I'll probably open up a marketplace ad and put it on the main forum tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks. I am in contact with him now, but it does sound like he's looking for one much cheaper. We'll see. I'm negotiable, but I'm not $6k negotiable.

Alright, I gotta price police myself on this one. I was being way too optimistic at $7.5k. Let's say $7k OBO which I think is more realistic. That puts it a bit under the Boston Pinball ebay year to date average, so that's a good starting point. Still would most like to find an Avengers LE. Pictures are uploading now and I'll be placing an ad on the marketplace and main forum soon.

Not about patience...it's about a fair price. It's not a $7500 machine. I have no need to try to be greedy about it. All that does is start things off on the wrong foot and that's not my style.

I'm not saying it isn't a nice machine, but when you start looking close, the flaws are there. Pics will be up soon then everyone can see for themselves and maybe I am being too hard on it. If the playfield didn't have that little bit of clearcoat chipping and lifting, then it would be worth more. For someone who isn't worried about perfect, it's a great machine. I want to make sure the price reflects that.

Pics and a crappy boot-up vid here:
http://s180.photobucket.com/user/jediturtle/library/Cirqus%20Voltaire

For those that have seen/played my CV, feel free to talk it up for me in my ad post on the main forum...LOL!

Yup! I've taken good care of it.

Nice...I always wondered why it smelt so damn good! I can give you a good discount on it since you've already marked it as your territory...

I traded JD plus cash...no BSD though.

Hopefully you'll have that BBH around your place long enough for me to get down there. That's a game I really want to spend some quality time with. The few times I've played it on route I've really enjoyed it.

This week can't go by quick enough! Saturday is the big day. Dropping off CV with its new owner (he's from Ohio so I'm meeting him half way in Indiana), then picking up my Avengers LE blue in Chicagoland on the way back. This one already has every mod I could have wanted plus a few more at a great price to boot. Can't wait!

Wow...sorry to hear about the crappy week! When it rains it pours. Hopefully things will turn around and start looking up soon!

I gotta say, since getting X-Men and Avengers, nothing else in the basement has been getting played. I "forced" myself to play them all the other night, and while they are all still fun, they just don't draw me in like those two. That made me think it might be time to consider trading something else (or everything else!) out. I never was one to sell or trade games for a very long time, but this past year or so has proven that it can work out pretty well. Sure, I miss my old games once in awhile, but I have no regrets so far, so why not? Gotta keep the spark alive.

So I guess I consider this a trade feeler to see if anyone of you guys (starting in this thread first...gotta keep it in the family is possible!) are feeling the same and ready for a change. I'll throw it out there that anything in my collection that isn't a superhero could be fair game. Not sure if CSI could really be there though...gotta keep the wife happy and there's very few games that she'd let that one go for I'm sure, LOL! But for now, let me know if that one interests you and we'll see.

Just thinking trades for now to keep it simple. I'm most interested in other superheros...I could see the whole Stern Superhero line-up in my basement some day. Spiderman, Iron Man, Batman:TDK. Metallica is the most interesting non-hero. Honestly not interested in a whole lot of non-Stern games these days, but there are a couple (TZ, TAF, maybe Creature) that would peak my interest, so feel free to throw out offers. I'd love a MB, but not sure that would be possible even with offering EVERYTHING for it, LOL! I'd have to put WOZ on the list too, just in case someone is already done with theirs and wants something I have.

Multiple games for 1 is definitely fair game with how my wishlist looks. Heck, it worked for X-Men, so worth a shot! We can get into condition specifics if anyone is seriously interested. Just seeing what's out there and possible for now!

Really? You gave up after all that time?

Damn good call on the MET though! Can't wait to put some plays on it!

I'm right with you. I've only played the real thing a handful of times and always walked away disappointed with the gameplay, especially with how much I love the theme, art, and everything else about it. Since then I've been giving it a lot of play on Pinball Arcade (I know it's not quite the same, but still...) and it's really grown on me. I need to spend some quality time with a real one.

I'll be there with my wife and daughter, and my buddy Brian (some may remember him as another MGC helper) will be there with his family.

I'm seriously thinking about it, and that would mean selling my STTNG to help do it. Same one I had the thread about a couple weeks back before getting cold feet. If anyone is interested, please let me know ASAP before I either change my mind, or miss out on the Enterprise LEs..LOL!

All the details in this thread.
http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtt-feeler-sttng-in-wi-sm-preferred-others-considered

Will bump that one in a little while after giving you guys first shot.

If I'm going to get seriously I suppose I should put a price on it. I think $4500 would be about right? Let me know if you guys think that's off (in either direction, LOL!).

In order to keep my wishy-washiness in full bloom, I've decided I can't go though with selling my ST:TNG. I just know I'd regret it. As much as I want a new Stern Star Trek, I'll wait until I can afford it by a different means. Maybe a year down the road I'll be able to pick up a HUO premium or LE. As much as I'd like to be one of the first to bust one out of a box, I just can't.

Very true. Ultimate goal will be to have them side-by-side. Then I can decide if they are too similar and the old one has to go to your house.

I have a feeling the new one will feel much more like Spiderman than like ST:TNG. Afterall Spidey has a lot of the same shots as ST:TNG and they feel nothing alike. I see the same happening here, but we'll see.

I'll just live vicariously through Tom until I can get my own. Maybe he'll let me level his for him... He's better than I am at it now, but it will make me feel better.

Shadow would be cool as I don't often see those. Otherwise I'd vote Pharoah, Jungle Lord, or Grand Lizard. We are usually light on that era machine.

I was thinking he bought yours!

Way OT, but is anyone looking for some high end, but older, gently used home theater equipment? I have an Emotiva DMC-1 preamp looking for a new home. Was originally their flagship $2k model. It is pre-HDMI, but I do have a remote HDMI switcher which can convert audio to optical that can go along with it. Has the original packaging, remote (an Emotiva branded URC MX-500), manual, etc.

I do have the matching Emotiva MPS-1 amp which is 7 channel, 200W per channel. Not really looking to sell that as I am still using it, but could let it go for the right offer if you really want the matching set. Also have an Oppo BDP-83 Blu-ray player available. It pairs up nicely with the preamp as it has 7.1 multi-channel analog outs so you can still listen to True HD and DTS-MA audio without needing HDMI. I may hold onto this for DVD-A, but again a good offer would take it. Mostly only looking to let the amp and Oppo go if it's a package deal with all three pieces. These both also have all original packaging, etc. I can include most of the cables you might need and am more than willing to come help set-up and calibrate everything for you if reasonably local.

Let me know if any of you are interested in either the preamp or a package deal. Prefer local deal as these are heavy, especially the amp (80 lbs or so). And of course, pinball or gameroom related trade offers are highly encouraged. Can add cash to trades also (well...at least once the tax return shows up, LOL).

Anyone have a Haunted House for sale in the area? Not looking for CQ quality (or price), but a nice player or even project considered. Been thinking a lot about Taxi lately too if there are any around. Or maybe a No Fear depending on price...

Doctor Who or RFM would be great too, but would have to be on the lower side of the price range.

Let me know!
Thanks,
Chris

I am also in the Vector coming home this weekend club! Awesome!

"HIT THE SHOWERS!"

You two need to make some sweet, sweet man-love and get it over with.

Oh man...that's pretty. Been on my wish list for a very long time. Please PM me some details and how much you are looking for. Not sure I could swing it, but I gotta ask!

One of you wants to sell me a nice No Fear or Doctor Who at MGC...you know you do...

I definitely need to get a BK back in the collection. Let me know what your project needs when you are ready to sell. I am leaning towards trying to find a nice one for me next one though...I really need another project like a hole in the head.

Yup..we'll be there to help. I'd love to see that NF there. Too bad that you decide to go through with the sale after I spend all of my pin money for the year...doh!

Don't worry, we'll have plenty of our little "vitamins".

Lol...woah...yea...no double meaning here! Whoopie pies = vitamins. They keep us going!

In case you haven't seen the main thread, I'm toying with the idea of trading my Avengers LE (blue) out. Mainly interested in Metallica premium or Mustang LE/prem, but will consider others. Not sure I'd go through with it, but a good trade might get me off the fence.

Yea...a premium shaking loose would be the one to almost surely get me off the fence.

Is it too late to switch league night to your place?

Genius!

I do not like bars. I am not a sports guy. Yet even I think Pooley's is a pretty cool place. Even if they didn't have pinball.

The Chorizo Burger is freaking awesome!

Hey Andy!
Welcome to the crazy. There are a lot of us in the area. I'm in Plymouth, there are a few Fond du Lac guys, and quite a few guys up in the Fox Cities. As Tom mentioned, our league will be starting fresh in January so you could think about joining. It's a great group of guys with some amazing collections. PM TomGWI for more details.

A good friend of mine lives in Mount Calvary. Small world!

Have fun,
Chris

ChrisS has this one:

Also if that doesn't work out, I believe Methos is thinking about getting rid of his if you want to PM him. Both good guys.

Every couple years I ponder letting my ST:TNG go for something new. I always end up getting cold feet. Well it seems to be that time again and the thought has crept into my brain. Like usual I will most likely end up keeping it, but I figure why not see what is out there. Only looking at trade possibilities for now. There are only a few titles that would tempt it away from me...Metallica and The Walking Dead (pros as I do not currently have cash to add) being the main ones. May also consider titles like Transformers, POTC, etc, or partial trades involving JD, DM, BK, RBION plus cash or a second machine (JD + DM would be pretty awesome as a 2-for-1 ). Also, those of you who know my collection history, do not judge me, but I'd think about a ST pro or an Avengers LE/prem also...LOL!

My old ad from last time I pondered this can be found here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/wtt-feeler-sttng-in-wi-sm-preferred-others-considered#post-1064428

The photobucket link still works as well:
http://s180.photobucket.com/user/jediturtle/library/Trek?sort=4&page=1

Ignore the price/trade wants in that thread as that was awhile ago. Condition is the same, and it's actually better now as it now has full LEDs (Pinbulbs kit with quite a few changes to my taste...mostly to make it a bit less blue) as well as the GI OCD board to make the shields and other dimming effects work properly. It looks pretty awesome and much more modern now.

Again, there's a good chance I will continue to hold on to it, so consider this as just a feeler.

Toying with the idea of trading out my X-Men:Wolverine. Ideal trade would be a Metallica premium or GoT pro, but might be open to others. PM for details if interested. Just a trade feeler for now. If I get serious about selling, I will post an ad.

Trade feeler: My HUO, lightly modded X-Men LE Wolverine for Metallica pro or Game of Thrones pro. Would be looking for a negotiable amount of cash my way (unless heavily modded). Would also be interested in a Metallica premium, but the cash from my end would have to be minimal, so I won't hold my breath.

Toying with the idea of trading my Spiderman (Stern original, not vault) for a Metallica. Not HUO or perfect but a very good player. It has nice LEDs (Comet sunlight GI with color matching inserts...no color bombing), LED OCD board, speaker lights with spider acrylics, and a shaker. Any of these can be removed depending on the deal. Has some minor cabinet scratches/scuffs and some clearcoat wear around a few inserts. Not very noticeable, but there. Magnet area is perfect. Again, not HUO but nice for a routed machine and it plays great.

Would be looking for an equal or close to equal trade for a Metallica pro. Definitely wouldn't mind a premium but would have to discuss the price difference...not sure I could make that work.

Let me know if you have any interest.

I definitely value mine well above mid-$3k. But I also do not think I've ever seen a Metallica that low either. We'll see if anything shakes out...if not I have no problem holding on to SM...still one of my favorites!

Sweet...if someone scores a $4700 NIB pro and wants to trade it for my Spiderman, I'd happily add a few hundred to the deal!

Put up an ad for my Spider-Man. Trade preferred (Metallica, Batman:TDK, ST pro, TF?) but cash offers considered.

Blackout and Doctor Who are spoken for. Pinbot is sold and gone.

No Fear and Spiderman are still available. Will do trade + cash for Metallica, ST, or SW pros. Or trade both with cash coming my way. I would also be stupidly tempted by a trade for both for a ST:LE or Met:prem/LE...

The ST:Pro that I picked up came with a Cointaker Red Tremor shaker motor which is too powerful for my tastes. Anyone want to trade for a regular Stern / Pinball Life shaker? Or if interested in buying it outright, let me know. Prefer local but could ship. Let me know.

Thanks,
Chris

I've only played a handful of games on SW, but I am a GoT pro owner. I guarantee I am biased as GoT is one of my favorite games ever, so keep that in mind.

To me they feel very different. I had a really hard time hitting the shots on SW...every shot seemed very tight. GoT shoots way better in my opinion, and is a lot more forgiving. SW had a ton of cheap drains. Well over half of my plunges bounced straight out the outlane on SW, and the three bank is a sucker shot. Way less of that on GoT. The dragon shot is tight, but the others are easy to hit which leads to a beautiful flow. The stand-ups can be deadly, but easier to mitigate than I could so far on SW. I also find GoT to be easier to understand and follow what is happening, but I'm sure with more play SW would make better sense. SW has the edge in theme, video, audio, and lighting, but GoT isn't a slouch in those departments by any means.

I fully admit that I need a lot more time on a SW, and my opinion could very well change over time, but for now I definitely enjoy GoT (pro) more overall. It's just more fun to shoot, less brutal, and the rules are great.

Yes...1000x this. The LE has nifty dragon wing movement and the lightshow is more colorful, but the upper playfield hides half of your shots and really affects the flow. I still like the LE...but I like the pro much better.

The pro also makes way more narrative sense. On the pro you advance Wall multiball from the lanes...the furthest "north" thing on the playfield. On the LE for some insane reason it's moved to the dragon shot (which is now the Castle Black shot...why would the castle kick back at you? and why would you advance/fight Targaryen at the Castle Black shot?) and the dragon is moved up to the upper playfield. So now you advance both wall and Targaryen from the same shot...that's lame and it no longer makes as much sense to the theme. I know it has been said that Steve Ritchie designs the LE first and then strips stuff for the pro, but in this case it really feels as though the pro was the original intent and the upper playfield was tacked on and other compromises were made to get it to work.

My No Fear is still available.

I listed mine at $3k and had a line of at least 5 people within a couple hours. Faded on one side and the front but was pretty nice otherwise with color DMD. It was probably the quickest to sell machine of any I have sold.

KLOV

Sorry to see this wasn't a keeper for you Jake. For anyone interested, this is my old SM that I traded to Jake a little over a month ago. It's a great player, fast and solid. It was always reliable in the couple years that I owned it. You can find lots more pics still up in my old ad here:

Best of luck with the sale Jake!

Toying with the idea of trading out my TWD pro which I bought NIB. It's a great game, I'm just getting frustrated with the difficulty level being well above my skill level. Has a few mods...Mezel Barn, Well Walker guts, shaker, speaker lights and acrylics, all GI changed to frosted sunlight 2-smd Comets which look awesome.

I would most likely wait until GOTG hits and see if I love that, but I thought I'd throw this out there now to see if any interesting trade offers come up, particularly SW pro. Also very interested in a BM'66, SM:Vault (possibly a very, very nice standard SM), and Dialed-In, but not sure if I could come up with the cash difference for those. Really this is just a feeler to see if there is any trade interest to help nudge me into letting it go.

Yup. Really want a vault, but a mint original would be considered. One way or the other there will be web slinging in my basement again at some point.

You'll be the first to know...

Looking for a SM Vault, Batman '66 (mostly premium unless crazy deal on LE), or Star Wars pro within driving distance of WI. Just figured I would see if anyone has one available before I go the NIB route. Please be realistic with prices...not going to pay NIB price for a used pin unless there are major desirable mods to justify it. Let me know what you have. Thanks.

Remind me not to leave my hole in your basement.

Nah...Eric doesn't care about leveling.

Looking for a Star Wars pro within a few hours drive of Plymouth, WI. Figured I would see if anyone wants to move one before signing up for a NIB. Please note that I am not looking to spend more than I can get a show special NIB for unless you have significant mods to justify.
Thanks,
Chris

Nevermind..found what I needed.

Anyone have a very nice Nascar for sale? If I found the right machine at the right price I wouldn't mind giving that one a try.

Still looking for Deadpool pro, Iron Man, GOTG pro, AC/DC pro, TF, or TAV LE/prem also.

Anyone thinking about moving a Guardians of the Galaxy pro or Iron Man?

Used unless someone can beat the MGC price on new.

Does that include the Skill Roll listed under your collection?

I posted a separate thread, but thought it would be worth checking here. Would anyone be interested in splitting a mixed set of Game of Thrones Stark/Lannister siderails? I would like a mixed set that matches the pro artwork (Stark left, Lannister right). Since they are only sold in matched pairs, that would leave the opposites available. I figure anyone with a premium wouldn't care at all since the sides aren't house specific, and there are probably some people with a pro that wouldn't be bothered by the non-matched sides. The ones I am looking at are a pretty good discount off of the original price, so it would be a great deal with someone who wants both styles. Let me know and hopefully we can work out a good deal!
