Theater of Magic

I could play that game for hours.

OP where are you looking? There's an original restored for 7.7k or a remake LE for 7.5k at pinside.

I was looking at distributors - one of them has a posting on Pinside (PinballSTAR) for the SE for $7.3k with $350 shipping, which is what I'm planning on going with.

I saw that one on Pinside and it's tempting but the warranty isn't transferable for resales, and reading through the owner's thread, there are some common minor issues that have popped up so I definitely want the full warranty. Unless I could physically see the game, I really don't feel too comfortable paying that much for a "used" machine.

Though this probably sounds dumb, there's also the thrill of buying your first brand new pinball machine and unboxing it. That's gotta be worth a couple hundred...

How you liking your pin? I just put in an order for CGC's next remake: Monster Bash LE - saw it in person...and wow. Probably the stupidest purchase I've ever made

Also recently got a AC/DC Luci. Quite fun, but hard AF.

Nice. The CE is actually "affordable" at least.

Congrats! I love the look of the purple trim, and you'll be extremely satisfied with the quality of CGC's machines. I read on Pinside that LEs will be shipped before Christmas.

It's not stupid if it's pinball-related...

The AFMr is awesome. I don't know what I like more - the multiball modes or the hilarious theme and voices.

Yea the guy I bought the Luci off of had both the MMrLE and AFMrLE. I played them for a bit. Very nice remakes. Heard nothing but good things about CGC - a few people have their MBrSE's and nothing but good new so far.
