finally took the plunge and paid a 50% deposit on a GB Pro coming in Jan with only 5 or 6 coming into Aus
I suggest you think about undoing that ...and upgrading to a Premium
.
I played one last weekend on location. It would have to be the best Stern for a long time, and possibly the pinball of the year. I can't compare to other companies as I've never seen any others face to face.
Magnaflippers: I had forgotten about the magnaflippers being on that game, and didn't notice any difference in the play of the kickers - an indication that they work well. I had no idea about the rules, so never got them in a mode where they would through the ball around.
For those in Melbourne or Eastern Victoria, Top Fun at Rosebud is where I played the Premium. It's there first pin. I've hassled the owner a few times about getting a pinball. If you are in the area, please stop buy and play it. It may encourage him to get more. The venue has mini golf, bowling and arcade games (mostly 'redemption').
