"HUGE COLLECTOR PIECE AND GREAT TO PLAY"  !!@

Never seen this title on anyone's wishlist. Wonder if it was a "Holy Grail" machine that is no longer loved anymore ?

It never ceases to amaze me that the word "pinball" is directly associated with the word "Rare". Gottlieb "Spirit" is rare, Bally "Vampire" is rare. They are AWESOME titles that a sought after. Sometimes these auctions need to clafiry "rare" by stating that the context is - "The game is rare because it was lemon".

Hi guys
This is just only a curiosity question, does anyone know what the original game layout was for the Pinball listed on Ebay at the moment due to finish in 8 days? The guy reckons it's a rare, collectors, original Bally Editel. Though when you do a search nothing except a WA media company has the same name and the specs of what the company does as what is plastered on the playfield.

If it isn't a original it shouldn't be pumped up as a rare collectors to the unsuspecting.

Or am I wrong.

Cheers

I just posted the same subject without reading down the list - sorry to start 2 subjects of the same thing.

I only think it is rare because it has all the marketing on it from a WA media company and it is a WA listed pinball..........

I think this is a con.

It doesn't come up on the pinball database and nothing on the net. Not a professional paint job either.

The game is a repainted and rebadged Bally "Bon Voyage".

It is not "rare" - it is a custom machine. Unfortunately, eBay would not care that the des-cription is misleading. If Pinball eBay auctions were moderated there would not be many games listed  %.%

Chance for someone to rebadge it again and make their own custom pinball.
