Hate? Any toy that wasn't on a table from the factory.

Love? Cannons, on T2, ACDC, and other games that use them. The first couple tables I played with this feature were in poor repair and soured me on it for years.

BSD's mist multiball.

When it works, it is AWESOME.

When it doesn't, man........................

Homepin's updated boards bullet-proofed my old BSD, but man when it didn't work 100% correctly, it was not a good time.

It depends on what is or isn't working. The most common symptom is the ball will go halfway across the PF and suddenly just drop right down the middle.

I love the data glove on my Johnny Mnemonic but hate when it is acting up and giving me issues

The magnets on GnR I love, but they sure are a PITA to troubleshoot sometimes when they aren't working.

Honorable mention: Mini PF on DW. LOVE it, but is a total PITA to deal with (especially opto issues), since the optos can fire off randomly and make it super easy to start multiball.

BSD feature is really cool. The artwork is too intense for my kids right now, and hope to own one when they are older.....

BSD mist ball...probably one of the coolest toys/gimmicks in all of pinball. I still can't believe this hasn't been used in another game. Guests in my gameroom think it's the coolest thing ever.

I dislike the skill shot on TOTAN, also on ToTAN don't care for the spinning land one bit.

I totally get that it's different and interesting, but after a while I don't really care about it, got annoying to me.

I love the use of magnets in TOM.
Especially the outlane magnets. Newbies are always caught off guard the first time their ball is saved and their reactions are great.
The trapdoor is a pretty cool gimmick as well.

I learned to hate the jump rope on CP really quickly. It was too easy to max out almost every time and just took too long. The punching bag toy wasn't very fun either, imo.

Spinning discs and magnets (NGG/AF) are some of my favorite toys. I love how they randomize the ball path.

I love the DW three level time expander. I also love the castle in MM. I like bash toys in general when the toy itself registers the hit, not a drop target. I don't know what they are called, but the pop up posts on SS are great.

I don't like mini playfields with tiny flippers. I can put up with TSPP and ACDC, but others I'm not a fan of.

That castle on MM was a pretty cool gimmick when I first played one on route, but after owning one for a couple of months it became old hat and tiresome fast. I haven't owned an AFM, but I've played it enough to know that the spaceship would probably be the same after a while.

Not turn this into a MM and AFM thread, but I guess this leads me to my favorite gimmick. MM and AFM got this 100% right. The interaction of toy, lights, and sound.

Personally I prefer the interaction of flippers, bumpers and balls.

Well of course the player has to use the flippers to get the balls in the right place. The light and sound show is the icing.

during the first game I ever played of rolling stones I was already sick of Mick on a stick, but im not sure if that would be considered a toy or just a target...

I love the battlefield on The Shadow
sparky on Met
the safe on Sopranos
and the ring on WWE looks like it might be fun

Wow no Apollo 13...???....I'm dying to try that one....I love my T2..cannon shot never gets old for me...love the track on nascar...Monger to me may be the coolest...love how he drops into PF......hmm...I know I'm forgetting some..........Joey

Metallica,Metallica,Metallica !

The Hammer is an awesome toy, Casket Multiball is still the best multi of all time imo.
The Snake also super cool ! Hate when made shot falls out : (
I really love Graveyard the Cross when it drops and the light show that ensues !
A great mode and shooting inlines to get the cross is is cool.Love capturing multiple balls on the magnet.
Hate when Cross goes dead during parts or end of modes
Bring the Cross to full action please Lyman : )

First time I saw Indiana Jones I thought the gun was really cool. You get to fire a gun instead of using one of those boring plungers, how good is that!!! Now I can't stand the things and much prefer the freedom to control the ball launch with a manual plunger.

Learned to hate the paddle wheel on my Maverick. Tried to love it when all others hated it. I gave up and joined the crowd, too long of a wait for the ball and slows the game down.

Toy I love the most? It's a tie between Tommy's blinders and Pinball Magic's disappearing ball trick. Also, Pinball Magic's wand trick comes in at a close second.

Gilligan's Island is a fantastic toy. Revolving island is a gem.

I'm a fan of Magna Save on my Jungle lord

The slam ramp on NGG stands out for me. When I would play it on location I just hated it because I couldnt hear or understand how it fit into the game. Now that I have one I feel it's one of the greatest shots in pinball. So rewarding to hit in multiball for the jackpot!

I would have to say that is the coolest toy thing in pinball. I also really like the supercharger in Getaway but it's really just a gimmick and not part of gameplay like DW - still pretty cool, though. The trunk in TOM is pretty neat and so is the mist ball in BSD.

I think one of the coolest toys were the cannons on ST:TNG.

I love TAF's Thing collecting the ball (gives me time to swig a beer). I disabled Phantom flips on my Monster Bash, it was just to inconsistent and hurt game play more often than it helped. MB's Frankenstein and Dracula, on the other hand, are two of the coolest toys in pinball.
