been after one for ages, finally found a minter and only an hour from home!

Perfect clear-coated playfield and freshly-decalled cabinet.

Nice catch Steve, I would have one to go in my monsters collection but it is a pricey machine.
Great game and good call-outs. First dibs. ;)
 
Not a fan either, mine lasted less than a week.
Can't fault MB's looks its a pretty machine and one of the best dots on the DMD out there. That one does look minty fresh, any reason your not showing the high wear areas ? Mosh Pit and Drac Track do get a hammering on this game.
 
Really nice Steve. I'm massively envious as i'd say that's probably my trophy pin.

Alas they're a little out of my price range right now - but i'm hoping to own one - one day!! (It's my 40th next year so maybe I should start dropping hints now - if i'm going to have a midlife crisis it's sure cheaper than a convertible).
 
lovely looking playfield, replicas beat me to my question about the Drac track though, mine looked like it had been in porn.

is it rude to ask how much you paid for it? (mine was 4000 about 12-18 months ago, i can't remember when)
and what's your high score so far? (mine is about 600M i think, but i had oh so many games where i was one light away from Monsters of Rock ... usually Bride)

Drac Track is perfect. Not sure if there's any wear lurking under the Cliffy, but I was told it's there to protect rather than hide? (I'll find out soon when i take it off).IMG_1945.JPG
 
I would remove the Cliffys and fit a protector that lines the hole, I moded mine so it sits proud of the playfield, impossible for the ball to make contact with the edge, that cliffy will damage the playfield over time, the liners also look way better, nice machine.
 
That indeed looks like a beauty, not a fan of the game either ....but that is one purty looking game
 
Veeery nice Steve. Top of my list one of these and hoping to pick one up later this year, fingers crossed.

How come so many don't like mb? Just curious? Is it a shallow rule set or something?

Everyone likes different games dude, mine lasted about two days sold it to uk pin group member for the price of an average b list dmd' and now four years later cool dan has it ... Incestious world of pinball :)
Personally for me it's just a bit boring and easy, but there is no doubting it's a lovely looking game... When I was into trophy hunting machines this was at the top of my list.
Again nice find fella it looks lovely
 
For me when choosing a new machine it's 75% looks, 25% game play. I'm just as happy to look at them as playing them. I'm not a great player so don't really demand much in the way of depth in a game?
I've only had it 2 days but so far I'm loving it. Good sound, bright playfield, lots to do. Feels a bit like CC in how easy it is to get multi-ball and then it seems to last ages.
Cost? It was less than I was expecting to pay which is a nice change!

They are indeed things of beauty, I feel that way about SS, easy but would consider another one ( in fact nearly bought another one very recently ) just to look at it ;)
Think that also is down to how stern have sold a lot of Metallica's it looks very pretty. Although some might think it looked like someone puked on it :D
 
CC good game as well, cant wait to play CC continued, cowboys vs aliens looks awesome!!! kinda wish I had held on to mine now, but i say that about most of the games that have passed through
 
I would say that is deffo a new PF looking at the drac track, hole should be just as nice under that Cliffys but may have some wear if it was not fitted immediately, that hole will fall apart fast without protection.
 
Pleasantly surprised to find all the paperwork in the machine, along with the 'goody' bag containing a pair of slingshot plastics, spare fuses, bulb holders and flipper rubbers.
