Don't cancel yet! I like you think the game play looks boring but it might be due to the poor play of Gary, which I can relate too!

Or the Hobbit!

I really dislike those cheap looking pop bumpers Stern uses on their machines!

The bash toy does it do anything other than pop up once it's hit (i.e. turn, capture ball)?

At first I agree with the viewpoint of usandthem. I am a fan of Stern love some of their games but to me they just dont seem to be bringing anything really new to the table. When I look at a pin that Stern did 10 years ago as apposed to TWD the biggest thing I notice is the DMD is red instead of orange! Well I love TWD I am just not over zealous with what I have seen thus far. It does not make me want to order one. HOWEVER, as others have pointed out, it's early in the game here! I think we need to see the completed product and play the game before bashing it. Jonathan is giving it great reviews and we have seen him give poor reviews in the past on Stern machines, although I wish he would get back to getting Vol. 3 of Pinball Magazine out in lieu of reviewing machines !!

It might just be me but I think with JJP coming out with WoZ, whether you like it or not, has given people something else to compare too! When you look at the number of toys on a WoZ Standard/LE as opposed to TWD Pro/LE you have to start thinking where is the "best bang for my buck".

Of course I type all of this after watching some pre-season hockey games on one tv while having the Pittsburgh Pirates clinching a playoff birth on the bar tv and sipping on several Weihenstephaner Vitus draft beers (man this is really good beer)!
