FrizzleFried:
Is this a fun pin?   Is it worthy of being the only representation of a modern pin in a collection? 

One came up local at the high end of what I have to spend on a pin... but a couple things give me pause.

(A) It's at the high end of my limit

(B) I read where a guy had to sell his because his 5 year old son was scared shitless of it...I have a new baby.

(C) I think the FK "theme" may get old

Opinions?

I really like the game and it's on my wantlist.  I should mention I'm a huge fan of the movies.

To be honest it's a mediocre game if you're not into the theme.  You're right to be concerned about the kid, too.  My younger son is scared of the VP version so I totally believe that someone had to sell the game for that reason.  Since your kid is a baby, though, you may get tired of the game way before that kid is old enough to notice.  Don't sweat it being "the only modern pin" as for most people this game is not a long term keeper.  It might be for me but again that's where my fandom of the theme comes in.

...and to be a little speculative the remake is coming out soon so that could be a factor here.  I'd be totally excited about this if it weren't a Michael Bay production.   :banghead:

ChadTower:

There is one at Funspot but half the playfield artwork is gone.  Make sure you check the glove flipper, that's a unique piece that is almost always broken badly.

There is a lot of "whip the ball in the general direction of a target bank and hope for a good rebound" in this game.

I've always thought it is a cool looking pin, but have never played it. Personally, I know what kind of person/dad you are, and you won't like it being in the gameroom. It only took a week to realize Lethal Weapon 3 was too much for a toddler.

Stick with a theme that is family friendly. If you don't, it will bother you.

SirPeale:
It's posts like you guys that make me glad I've desensitized my kids to fictional stuff like that over the years.
