Cool art, looks like it shoots great, and should deliver with solid code.

Wish i liked the theme more.

Love that congo ramp shot through the pops and two spinners!

I love the art, the plain inserts drive me nuts though. The layout is a nice change of pace. I am not in on this one, but it looks like a nice first game for the designer.

Did Stern do their bimonthly price jack on this one?

$5500 for a pro? Good lord....that is silly. They will sell though. Sterns strength is licensing. They definitely have the best licenses of all the manufacturers out there. Its a shame they arent a little more creative with them.

Is Madison putting one on location?

Undecided at this stage.

As with all games, it is always a possibility i suppose. Too many new games coming out to even think about getting them all.

We recently bought a brand new RRWOZ and that was a big hit to the poggy bank :D

Looks interesting... I can’t quite tell what’s going where on the playfield, but if the upper flippers can feed each other it could be pretty fun to try to keep it up there.

I’m not into the theme so I’d have to be crazy over the gameplay to want it. I mean, not every them can be Roy Clark, right? :)

I think it looks great, and the rule set Keith ran through on the stream sounds cool. But I don’t have money so none of that matters. :lol:

Yeah I’m in.

Premium for me.

There are some dudes that do a group buy north of here to help with the price. I’m waiting on that follow up to know what the final number is.

Time to go buy a bunch of the Eddie figures to muddy up the inside of it. :lol:

Well the deal isn’t done yet. ;)

Who knows. I think FG has to go. I know you were interested in that.

Shit I might be insane enough to sell HMM. :shock:

I need to sit down and do some hard looking through the collection. First world problems. :roll:

It is a good problem to have!

I knew if anyone would be in on this, it had to be you.
Safe to assume you are also getting ACNC?

You have my number when it is time to sell. I know heidi really wants that Meow Meow Meow if it ever gets cut for space. I think last time we were over she kept taunting me with the "song" the whole ride home (she beat me squarely on it)

Actually, what I find interesting about Iron Maiden is that the MSRP has actually gone DOWN $200 (from $6199 for the last 4 titles to $5999 for the Maiden Pro). Seriously - not since WWE has a NIB Stern had an MSRP south of 6K. Will that mean lower prices? Hell no. I'd expect that they stay the same or maybe go up a little bit.

I really like the shot layout and the artwork and backbox animations look fantastic! Sadly, I'm not not an Iron Maiden fan so the theme does nothing for me. Would I play it - absolutely!! Looks like a really fun shooter.

I think you should sell GOTG to fund an IMDN. Just saying ;)

I'm in on a Pro! Getting an MGC show game so the price was pretty reasonable.

The layout, rules and art are exactly what I was looking for in a new game and I can't wait to play it! I'm not the biggest Maiden fan but I don't mind them and think their music works well with pinball. I could always swap in some Metallica, Black Sabbath and Megadeath and make a "best of" game just to mix it up more.

It does look really good, but I'm both tapped out on new games for a while, and those that scare my children. I'm looking forward to giving this one some plays, though.

Someone had a comment that Stern is bringing A BUNCH of these to MGC. Is there any truth to that?
