Totan is great and if you have not really played it before then I say go with that for a few months as it will get old quickly, pretty easy game aswell then sell it and pick up a GB's.

I definitely want to play a premium to see how those magna-slings work. I've heard different opinions.

Buy Totan. You will be happy with that game for 1 year. Then you will want something else. By that time there will be so many GB's available for a good price. There are so many beeing sold rightnow, so they will flood the market next year = good price.

Id buy totan, play it till your done with it, then sell it to buy a gb, both are fun games, it would be worth waiting until the code gets a few more updates on gb anyways

The advice of buying a TOTAN, playing for a year, then selling for a GB with final code is very sound. Only problem is finding a TOTAN that won't cost you as much as a GB Premium. Only TOTAN's for sale right now are on eBay and they seem to be very over priced.

OP, why just TOTAN / GB? There are so many great pins out there to consider. How did you narrow it down to these two?

Good question, I'd like to know too.
