There you have it folks, narcissism at it's core. Howard's school of friendships: if they don't agree with your tastes, get rid of them.  ::)

Besides, the TNG pin isn't even in the top-10 and not worth talking about.

Meh.  It’s okay but never worth the theme premium to me.  The new Stern one is enjoyable.

Cueball Wizard is legitimately good, regardless of manufacturer.

Popularity...

STTNG had just under 12k machines produced... 25 years ago.
MM had 4k machined produced... 21 years ago.

Using the link you've provided...
MM has over 1400 reviews. STTNG has 770 reviews. Half as many...
There are just over 1450 STTNG machines on Pinside's pinmap, and around 1250 original MM machines. STTNG has suffered much higher casualties to time than MM has.

I'll walk up and play any STTNG I see in the wild. I enjoy the table. But it is far from popular, when there are well over 20 other titles that have more people taking time to review the machine.

You don't hear of a STTNG remake happening... because it's not popular.

Looking forward to see what you spin this one into...  :cheers:

I went to a pinball league match Tuesday night. It was fun.
