Waterford Township, MI
I wish you had set up a poll. So many opinions has me wondering which game is on top.
My top game is Maiden. It's a solid game and if you like the music it makes it a great game.

Quoted from zr11990:Tell me which ones im missing and ill put them on there I tried to put them all down but those are the ones I could think of at the moment.
So far the poll is mor fun than the original question.
Personally I enjoy Game of Thrones and Ghostbusters eventually coded into a decent game. I wouldn't pick either over Maiden but some one might. Those were the first ones that I noticed. Also TSPP. Can't have LOTR and not the Simpson's

Quoted from Jackontherocks:Love Maidens music but wish it had at least half of the toys like Metallica pin, still Maiden plays fast and fun but I feel repetitive up the middle, probably will buy either of the two next as debating.
Maiden is the perfect example of why toys are over valued. Deadpool is another one. Fun layout with great rules.
It helps that I have a maiden premium. I enjoy the lifting ramp and captive ball lock. I enjoy playing the pro just as much.
Quoted from boagman:At first, I was *right there* with you, until you said "Deadpool is another one.", and then...then, I started backing away rather quickly. I understand, and agree with, your basic point (that toys *can be* overvalued, especially when they compromise/substitute for good playfield design), but I feel that Deadpool's design flaws are what keep it from being included in that part of the conversation.
I'm not at all surprised to hear that you enjoy playing the Pro of Maiden, but I'm honestly surprised that you find the Premium to be effectively "better", which I completely don't. While the captive ball lock is "neat", it's certainly nowhere *near* anything that I'd call "essential", and the lift ramp, to me, is a complete waste of time, bill of materials, and brings nothing more to the machine...I'd rather have the Pro. Now, I don't dislike the Premium, that's not what I'm saying at all...but for my money, time, etc. I'd be more inclined to get a Pro. That's just me, though.
The captive ball is an option I don't really care about. I do like the ramp going up and down. I only brought them up because those could be considered "toys" I did work a few deals and traded up my pro to a premium. This was right before things went crazy. If I had to spend an extra $2000 to $2500 in today's pricing I would have keep the pro.
