Just wondering what this pin is like.  I have very little experience with pins but mostly collect the ones the kids like.  No swear roms -  Adam !!--  By the way I cant wait till their old enough as I really liked the DM.  Anyhow does this pin really suck and further how much do they usually go for ??

Good theme, poor execution.

Not a bad game, but for the same money, there are many better games.

Family friendly theme... how about a (Peter Pan) Hook?   I might just know where one is for sale

I think they are pretty pricy, BBBB is one of the few games I've never tried, but due to it's rarity is why it commands a higher price tag for the game.

I look forward to giving one a try at the Pinball Hall of Fame in a few weeks.  

Terrible, terrible game. HUGE pile of crap. Great looking game, but the very example of a terribly implemented theme. The playfield is tight. There really aren't any great shots. Nothing memorable.

Not sure if it is still available, but there is a Rocky & Bullwinkle for sale in Ottawa. Dirt cheap and you could probably get someone to meet you in Toronto for some $$$. It's actually a really fun game. Very kid friendly.

It's a machine I wouldn't mind having just for the theme, but the couple that I have seen over the years have been rough and overpriced for what they are.

I second the sentiment that you should consider cheg's R&B.

I am not sure that is such a good idea. R&B has nightmare inducing themes: robot bumper rats, mooses (meese?) chased by steamrollers, time machines, and flying squirrels (ick) just to name a few.

I think it would be best for everyone that cheg's R&B is quietly forgotten until I can muster enough change to acquire the offending machine and hide it deep in my basement forever. Oh wait, I just noticed it's 'pending payment' now, darnit.

Hey! Look! A Congo for sale; kids love monkeys!

Scary monkey's that need to be shot with lasers!  Not very kid friendly.  Not to mention scary snakes in the DMD.

Hey! Look! A Congo for sale! kids love Tim Curry with a cheezy accent!

The only thing nightmare inducing is Sparky's avatar.  lol.  BBBB is fantastic family theme.  My kids would absolutely dig it.  Unfortunately, people hate it like Popeye.  What does a decent BBBB go for anyways?

Sam

Hey Sparky you found my quantum yet ?

So it would look great sitting beside my popeye then??  Thats a good question how much do they go for??

I think last time I remeber they were in the upper 2K range sometimes hitting 3K if in good shape, but I may be wrong on that.  

It's the rarity of the machine that commands the price.  

ipdb estimates production at 2500 ish.  Doesn't sound that rare to me.  Even my I500 has a lower production run.  Even if you find one, getting parts for it would be murder (plastics, flipper bats, ramps, etc).  I guess you would need to find a nice one to start with cuz making one nice would be very hard indeed..  

There is one listed on Halifax kijiji in working order for $600.

Ouch that one in Halifax is rough !!  I think even Sparky would cringe at the sight of those wear marks

Yup... in my MAME cab!

I can't see it from work... but it takes a lot to scare me playfield-wise. Anything can be done, given time and money...

That's some major flipper wear marks on the playfield!

I've seen 3 or 4 for sale in the last couple of years. They tend to be $1400 - $1800. There was one in allentown this year with a $1700 price tag, I believe.

Here's the ebay sales summary page for a reference:

Depends on the kids. My boys (aged 3 to love it. It's got a Gorilla in the lower playfield. It shouts out "Hippos" every now and again. The volcano is very cool. Very fun game for adults as well

I think you are missing the sub-plot in his post   That being, it's scary no one else should buy it, but I'm sure Chris would be happy to hide it away in his basment

There looks to be a BB available at SRG...

Just saw it... actually, I can fix that. Not easy, but I have actually done WAY worse.
