I have now played Mandalorian pinball and happy to report back to the forum. I played this in some weird area of St. Charles Missouri where all of the houses looked the same and there was a volleyball court and a bar and inside the back room was the arcade. This was not a real pinball arcade because they literally had a stool in front of every pinball game. I will never be returning to this "arcade" because of this.
my take-aways: - I played the "PRO" model and this was fine by me. I still enjoyed the back playfield area even with the one flipper. - I was able to figure out the "missions" on this game fairly quickly, and my best game I got through two missions. - The part where you could buy things as added bonuses was cool. similar to just picking a different character at the start of the game, except this game it's just in the middle of the game. I like it. - My high score was in the 92 millions. the replay was at 100 million and I did not get to that but I did good enough to get myself 22nd spot on pinside for now. - getting multi-ball was also very easy. the gameplay was pretty clear on where you are supposed to shoot with the lit arrows. - Manallorian is my favorite STERN game since TURDLES. I do enjoy it more than Avengers and Led Zeppelin. there is more going on than just cool ramps.

It seems to be Mando is in the top running for that, unless if Stern comes up with something even better. I saw in today's pinball news that Gary Stern is hinting at something big. But then again if you were the CEO of stern you probably wouldn't tell everyone you'll only be releasing boring games for a while. I still have to play a Mando myself tho. Maybe I can make it back to CP before school starts

So my plan rn is sometime first half of 2022, I will switch out TMNT with a new game. It seems to be Mando is in the top running for that, unless if Stern comes up with something even better. I saw in today's pinball news that Gary Stern is hinting at something big. But then again if you were the CEO of stern you probably wouldn't tell everyone you'll only be releasing boring games for a while. Jeff, I don't think anyone is asking for this. But, since I now would consider myself an EXPERT on playing pinball and ranking games at this point, let me rank ALL OF STERN'S GAMES FROM THE PAST 5 YEARS:
1. NINJA TURDLES 2. THE MUNSTERS (BUT GOTTA BE THE PREMIUM WITH THE LOWER LEVEL REALLY) 3. IRON MAIDEN 4. GHOSTBUSTERS 5. DARK KNIGHT SWORD OF RAGE 6. BATMAN 66 7. ELVIRA'S HOUSE OF HORRORS 8. THE BEATLES 9. JURASSIC PARK 10. THE MANDALORIAN 11. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY 12. STRANGER THINGS 13. AEROSMITH 14. STAR WARS THE COMIC ONE 15. LED ZEPPELIN 16. AC/DC 17. AVENGERS: INFINITY QUEST
Ouch, it looks like The Mandalorian ranks #10 out of 17 on this list! That's not too good! Better luck next time, Gary Stern? I do agree Gary's got what it takes to knock one of the hot pins he has lined up up his sleeves out of the park.

well, hopefully Gary Stern will get it done, as the only one ranking hi on this list for me would be Ghostbusters, but that may not be a great replacement for the Turts. I bet you would like the dominos machine buffaaron420 along with the Pabst cancrusher and whoa nelly

Happy to say I have now played the PREMIUM version of this game at CP Pinball. My high score was only 43 million - which puts me at 9th place on the pinside rankings, but that is out of 9 logged scores.
Other games I upped' my high score on this weekend at CP Pinball: - Led Zeppelin (premium I think) (I think I beat Jeff now) - Aerosmith (a good game with artwork like the Grateful Dead) - Tron (I had only played as part of the tournament before, and did really good again) - Funhouse (6 million this time babyyy) - Johnny Mnemonic ( ?) - Frontier (old game I had not played) - Pirates of the Caribean JJP - Indy 500 - Iron Man - Transformers
(okay I have to enter in all of those scores now)
