The theme does it for me, and there's some fun shots for sure. I think it's all up to getting enough plays on it that I learn the rules a bit. The thing I liked about BKSOR is that within a few seconds I learned:
1) Hit the upper lock light then lock, repeat for multiball
2) Hit the shield lock light then lock, repeat for multiball
3) Shoot the spinny ball thing to get to the upper playfield
4) When the Black Knight is freaking out, hit the target in front of him
That pretty much took me through all my games at MGC, and would probably take me through a month or two at home as I learned the rules.
JJP tables are pretty bad at being obvious, in general. When someone explained Hobbit's rules to me, I started loving it. I can see there's a giant pile of rules in Pirates, and all I can figure out is OMG THIS BOAT IS AWESOME! Pirates and Wonka are both really fun layouts (I prefer Pirates, personally), so it's all up to "WTF am I supposed to do with this thing?".
I really liked Dialed In when I first tried it, but so much of the table is locked behind that stupid, hard-to-hit-easy-to-brick scoop that I liked it less the more I played it. The question is, when you learn Pirates or Wonka, will you like it more or less?
For the cost, I agree, it's kinda bonkers. For us it's a matter of limited space and getting our favorite tables. I'm willing to burn a little cash on something amazing. But it's gotta be amazing.
That Pirates boat is amazing. Shit, this is a Wonka thread.
). I am just not a buyer at $7500. It is still hard to believe that a machine can cost $7500. I remember laughing at an auction many years back when some "sucker" bought a routed Cactus Canyon for $4500.
