I have Tron one of my all time favorite games. I’ve not got to Portal but been to SOS several times. It almost seems like I’m close to SoS most games. 3 ball setting.

I love the theme, music, shots, rules on Tron.

Iron Maiden is the flavor of the month but seems as if it’s got a lot to offer. I only played once so I’m going to have to find one near me to play again. But I’m curious what you guys think.

Maiden music is not a great deal to me, I’m not sure either way I just don’t know their music. Sure I’ve looked up their hits, if I have to take a side it would be against their music but it’s not hate like some other music. It’s more plus minus.

So theme is not a deal breaker but it’s like going from an A+ theme to a B theme.

Rules I’m not sure of Maiden.

That’s it, I can sell something lesser than Tron like SM it Tspp but I like them just as well and they’re not as valuable as Tron.

Also is Maiden Premium worth the extra money?

Maiden vs Tron?

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

Are you reading this Stern? People love their TRONs. So make TronVE already! You'll sell a ton of them.
Keep the Tron OP

Just played a few games. Tron is really great and not too long playing. That’s why I sold LotR which is awesome btw but I didn’t play it often.

I’m cool with selling one great for another great like when I sold STLE for Woz RR or LotR for DILE.

I love Tspp.

The only reason Tron came up, not my other pins is that the three most expensive are my newest so won’t be going.

So while I love them all Tron has the most value at this time maybe AcDc Premium is similar.

I realize this poll results probably not accurate because tilted towards Tron owners by the title of this post so most might be biased towards keeping Tron.

I figure Maiden might not be my cup of tea, there will be other pins to come so there’s no need to rush Tron our the door as long as I’m still enjoying it.

In the last 12 months have got Woz, DI, AFM and will have TNA so that’s fully a third of my lineup is new. There’s no need for me to get yet another new pin at this time.

Quoted from jwilson:

I consider IM a superior playing game although the light show isn’t quite as amazing. I’d try to find some other way to have both but wouldn’t feel too bad picking IM over it.

I own 4 of the better Borg SAM games.

TWD pro
Met pro
Tron
IMVE

Great pins I can hardly pick a favorite.

I got back in the hobby when XMLE was just coming out. Tron and IM were not in production. Lucky for me Stern made a small batch of Tron x2 bug without the 3D translite.

Then a few year later, I was looking for IM Stern made the VE edition.

Met and TWD had/have much longer runs, so you could still buy after the code was well done.

We are fortunate to have creative people who made Eli ramp light and arcade plus color DMD for Tron (expensive but well worth the money).

I just played 4-5 games on Maiden premium. I'm not an expert and don't know rules so well, but was able to see more about how it shoots and the ramps and the toys and whatnot. I did like the display animations and it does have a good number of shots and the rules seem good. But it didn't grab me and say this it a game I need to play again and again. I'm not saying it's bad either, and many games I have such as Tspp, DI, Woz, TWD were games I didn't love until I played a good number of games on.

But I can't think of trading Tron for Maiden at this time.

Quoted from TheGunnett:

I feel like we all have closure now, it wasn’t climatic, it wasn’t the ending we wanted but the ending we deserved! This thread can officially be closed! Cue the law and order clang sound.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Is that your final answer?
No need to rush into a new Stern game since they are in production for 3 years.

ST was just remade and that’s been out nearly 5 years.
