I found this game for sale and do not know a lot about it. It works and plays well but is dirty. I see that it was the 3rd game DE made. What is a good price for this pin? Is it a pin that people want or collect?

Thanks
 
I looked at a broken one about a month ago that was dirty as hell, but wouldn't do anything other than power on and test light solid, no flashes. :( I passed on it, you can see it in my post history, don't remember what the asking price was on it, but the guy would hardly come down off it.

Personally, I thought it looked like it would be fun from the videos, but it is a relatively rare machine from what I could find out. Lots of people don't like the cheesy backglass, but the sounds and lightshow are definitely worth checking out on youtube, I liked them a lot. It hurt to go look at that thing and turn it down because I knew it would need hundreds of dollars of boardwork to get going again. Cabinet was beautiful condition and the PF just needed a good cleaning. :(
 
I saw your post when I was researching it, did not realize it was so recent. The sound effects and lights are cool on it. How rare is it? I am not sure it fits in with my games but I would like to find it a better home.
 
BostonPinball shows 12 sold on ebay over 66 months. Not that common IMO. I'd never heard of it before I saw it here. Never saw it in an arcade...my understanding is that even with the limited production, most were sent overseas.
