Quoted from robnotto:I received my TS4 CE this weekend. Being honest I was going to sell it because I have too many games coming in. The only reason I did not sell it was multiple people were saying they needed 2-3 weeks to get their money together. I figured it was easier to keep the game, play it fora bit and then sell it. Here are my first impressions of the CE.
The game is drop dead gorgeous; the cabinet looks awesome, and art is absolutely brilliant. Putting it next to my Sterns and CGCs I can see why JPPs are more money.
The topper is pretty impressive. I heard people dishing on it, before they saw it. Comments were it is cheap...it is not cheap at all. It is by far my heaviest topper. Heavier then even the Elite Topper for Indiana Jones. It looks pretty cool, and it seems the farther you get in the game the cooler stuff it seems to do (I am not sure about that, hard to play and watch the topper)
The art blades match the theme really well. The light show is pretty cool, lots of flashing lights...includes lights under the cab as well.
The rules are pretty approachable as every one has mentioned. My 20-something year old kids came over and were excited to play some games...the only of my pins they care to play. So I am sure it will be a hit with non pinheads.
Not much else to say since it looks and plays just like a LE.
For those of you on the fence about getting a CE. If you can pick on up at $12,500 or $13,000 it is a steal I would jump on it. $15,000 is hard pill to swallow when you compare TS4 CE versus my Godzilla LE... but looking at the game I can see how the BOM is higher on TS4 then Godzilla even if the playfield does not reflect that statement. My personal opinion on price is if this came out at $13,000 for a CE, people would be all over it.
Overall I am happy with my decision to keep TS4CE. I am hoping that the code gets a little deeper, either way I am sure it will be a hit with the family. Of course YMMV, but I know someone who was walking away from their $2500 deposit...with JPP...I would pick up that game in a heartbeat for $12,5000.
Be well...happy flipping![quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
I received my CE #500 yesterday and I couldn’t agree more with @robnotto, the game is stunning and I can see why it’s a higher price especially with the topper! The topper is very impressive. Beautiful work JJP
