I like the game, it plays different from a lot of other games you have to bump and nuge a lot, it's a pin guys type of game but might have a short life in the heard it all depends on the rules and how deep they go and by playing a few games a Starburst it's hard to tell

Quoted from Azatotht

It is never worth it when you dont like a game... if you dont like it at 4k, you wont like it at 3k...

I have to agree with you....

Sadly, but true!

I played it in A-Town and I didn't think it was 'that bad'...not my favorite theme, but it's not a 'striker extreme / rollercoaster tycoon / playboy' game either.

Then again, if I had 3K I don't know if I would pick it up...Family Guy or TSPP maybe (LOTR = OF COURSE!)..but it's a tough decision...

I hope there will be one in chi-town on Friday so I can give you a better prognosis

Played it, liked it.  If I bought it on the spot, I was told Gary Stern would sign the backglass. Dang it, it was really nice too .

i found a enjoyable game.  with some neat added features i haven't seen on a pin for alwhile.  would turn off the free spin and cut the extra balls down to one at the max.  i had it really rocking with over 300million.  
  
there was a ok line up for sale.  was nice to play alot before buying.

  went and spent some time on family guy.  i did play it once when it first came out.  
   but something seemed to da-ja-vu-ish....  didn't i just play this game?  like minutes ago?  weird feeling.  i say it outloud and i think glen was beside me.  points out i just played shriek and its the exact same pf.... go fcck yourself it is..  damn me.  well that just killed it for me.  not a fan now at all.   rather have a WOF even if it was the same price.  but at the sale price erin is even saying hmmm.......

  

Quoted from Bally Boy

I think you could probably get the same deal in the future on the WOF, if you were seriously considering buying one, you could try and make them honour that same price ( show special OR not ).

I would think so Dan, When we were in the other warehouse for the auction there had to be 30 of them sitting on the shelf

Perhaps you aren't aware, Family Guy came out first then they put out Shrek afterwards.  There was no secret they were using the same playfield, it is a lazy thing to do but at least they were open about it (and I guess they like the playfield layout?!?).

For the record, this was brought up a long time ago::

Shrek and Family Guy both are fun machines! No wonder I liked them both...ha, ha.

Quoted from medvet

Talked to them today. The deal still stands with the right amount of persuasion and politeness   And no, haven't officially pulled the trigger yet

ME

Of the guys that played it, what do you think of the gameplay etc? I'm tempted but..........

I think at your stage in collecting your probably looking for something that's different and WOF to me seemed to be different enough to be interesting. It is an easy game to keep the ball in play but seems to be challenging to complete.

We saw more than 15 WPT as well back in the auction area (I didn't notice the WoF boxes but I didn't get everywhere in the warehouse)

i remember lots of WPT but did not see ANY WOF's?
