[QUOTE="Gorgias32, post: 264743, member: 5914"] In the promo video the part where Groot vomits up all the balls to start multiball is just hilarious. Looks like a fun machine, the Groot hands over the playfield look interesting and unique. Echoing what Jared says above, I think I agree, there is some "saminess" in all tables, that some of the boutique manufacturers are moving away from. All of them seem to have to have the "common components" (pop bumpers, a spinner, two ramps and loop), but newer tables like TNA are breaking the mold a little, and JJP is blowing things up with the vast number of modes and goals to add long term value for home collectors. I got into pinball just a few years ago, but looking at Stern's recent tables, AC/DC, Metallica, Kiss, Game of Thrones, Spider Man, Star Wars and Star Trek are all pretty basic layouts, and have a lot of similarities to one another - the rules are what make them different. This new table looks like it may be from the same mold. I think that's why the pros seem to love Walking Dead, it has some unique ball paths like the plunger shot and some of the deepest and most strategy-rewarding rules, it's kind of an outlier. [/QUOTE]
