Found it! AFM, CFTBL, The Shadow or, heaven forfend, MM

I think we were looking for a classic edition, not an LE…
I think an original B/W AFM sold last year for £6.5k on the forum and, to be honest, I’d probably prefer an original because I like p****g around with my pins
Great, you may stand a chance on the original, I would think CGC is close to £10k
Sold a really nice one 2 years ago for less than £5k.
I just sold a mint Manny original for £6.5k with ALL the mods and original playfield, rather have that over the remake all day long.
£10-£14k for a remake is a lot!

Why don’t you pick up a CGC Monster Bash Classic for £7k ?
Yes how prices have changed in the last 12 months ………
I don‘t like MB that much. I mean, it’s really fun to play on location and has great music, but I don’t think I’d want to buy it.
Thanks for putting me right on price, folks. If anyone has a AFM original going for ~£6.5k, that would be grand.

Think of the children ……… They love Universal Monsters 
My five-year-old son wants JP2 Prem. I’ve told him that, if he restarts playing the pins we already have in the house, we might get JP2 one day. Otherwise, he doesn’t get a say in the matter…Think of the children ……… They love Universal Monsters
I can totally empathise….. although he does play Metallica and FishTales.

Personally I think £8.5 should easily get you either.
The MMr LE that sold a few months ago, went for £10k I read somewhere. So an original I would be in your budget I would think.
There was a AFM LE for sale by Ken on UKVAC for 13k dollars but that sold locally in the states,which is a completely different market.
As said above AFM between 6-7k
I paid £6k for mine which I thought was a fair deal.
I had a budget of £6k and I wouldn’t of moved from it to be honest.
Good luck with your search.

Paid 6k for my original very tidy AFM, new playfield, re-decaled etc. plays fast and furious, probably twice the speed of the remake at pinfest which seemed slow in comparison.
That was a couple of years ago though,
You cant hammer it constantly as it is fairly simple but everytime i have a break for a while, ill come back to it and cant get off the thing, so probably the last to go.
Still find myself playing it more than GZ tbh.

Thanks. I’ve got a potential AFM lined up that I’m expecting to view later this month, but I’ve PM’d Dave incase that doesn’t work out for some reason (hoping it does tho’).

How did you make it/where did you get it from?

Thanks yeah pretty pleased with how the toppers coming along.
I 3D modelled the Martian using zbrush and resin printed it. Then re-drew all the artwork from scratch in vector with adobe illustrator, then got the vinyls printed. Plastics were hand cut with a scroll saw.
Dont have a real one to copy so used reference images i found online. Its not exact but fairly close.
The shaking mechanism for the Martian is running in prototype so will be interactive like the real one hopefully.
Might be able to make a few more once its all done but keep buying new pins so keep getting distracted

Yes, I would totally buy one of these. It looks amazing!
Weekly BUMP.
I'm actually not looking for an AFM right now, more like March/April 2023 as we have two other pins coming in, but I'm keen to jump on a player's condition AFM if anyone has/sees one on Facebook/Gumtree in the next few months.
In March/April 2023, I will likely be open to a AFMr (or similar) pin - at the relevant price point - if that's that's all available.
I'm also open to an MM(r) and am on the interest list for a new MMr next year, but personally marginally prefer AFM (my husband marginally prefers MM).

There are two people involved in pinball purchases over here, and my plan to buy a new MMr next summer and then try to swap it for a second-hand AFMr didn't go down very well...
Forum-wise, they're the most desirable of the 90s B/W-era pins, but they seem to suffer from not being the new Stern hotness.
