One you are looking at ? Or general feedback on it as a game ?
One of the best looking pins out there.
Lots of people love it. For me I found it a bit bland. A bit light on the toy department

For 6 grand it should be a minter......I suspect it's not! You might also want to check that they actually have it in stock and maybe go up there and view it if you're thinking of paying that kind of money for one

I do think Williams only list them when they actually have stock Chris , and unlike some others they do post photos of the actual machine for sale. The one on their site does look in good shape , not saying its 6k good shape as I only glanced at it , however viewing in person always recommended.
The Glorious Bally CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON Pinball. - Williams Amusements
This is everything a pinball should be!!!!!! Creature from the Black Lagoon pinball machine was designed by John Trudeau (“Dr. Flash”) and released by Midway (under the Bally brand name). It is loosely based on the movie of the same name. The game’s theme is 1950’s drive-in theater. Its major...

@vr46 Williams are a reselling business with showroom, staff etc so prices for their pins are generally always going to be higher than what you might find people here asking or valuing at.

Lovely game, mine won’t be leaving as I still enjoy playing it. The game starts off feeling quite simple but climaxes at a series of shots that gets my heart pounding.
Wait about and I think a nice one could come up for less. Or buy if you want some support from a company like Williams. As @Sgt GrizZ say, you pay extra for the costs associated with a company.
It looks nice but I would advice playing it.

The game is good fun. I had one for a short while and played it almost every night. It’s got its limits and can get a bit frustrating at times. The music is great, very busy playfield. When you get into a few games and a few beers and crank up the music it’s awesome.
I played @Calimori machine yesterday and relived the fun
@Dave Bishop machine is superior condition with pinssound etc - well worth checking out

Dad used to say if you’ve nothing positive to say then say nowt! That just about sums up Creech for me. That said it seems a popular one for many so always good trade fodder down the line.
However as I always say if you only have room or budget for one pinball then theres no such thing as a bad one they all hone your skills and get you understanding the rules much better in a home environment. They are also a thing of wonder to friends and relatives and to me a vision of beauty.
Mind you the wife doesn't quite see them that was especially when they entered the 3rd room in the house.

Great game. As others have said you will be paying over the odds but it is available now without a wait.
Many creatures suffer from low power during multiball causing the flippers to fail or go weak. When viewing/play testing take the playfield glass off and block the middle off to prevent the ball from draining. Then progress the game to start multiball. In mulitball, check that the creature hologram is appearing and moving. Play the mutliball and get the jackpot(s), keep flipping throughout to ensure you have strong flippers and are not turning weak or failing.
