Just get both

That’s what I’ve done ! …. Oh wait no I haven’t I’m being sensible
I can see both in my future, but only got room for one of them until I move my RFM on.
The last game I bought was STh. I even skipped Godzilla (appears to have been a mistake
).
What I will say to any prospective Venom owners is I think you need to pay extra and get the premium.
The changing playfield layout is just too cool.

The smart thinking would say get Godzilla or Foo Fighters, but they just haven't grabbed me.The last game I bought was STh. I even skipped Godzilla (appears to have been a mistake
Re. Venom Premium I kind of agree, but Premiums take a bigger hit when reselling, at least that's my recollection without going over the data.
I'm unlikely to want the same Pin for longer than a year.
I have a nice one for saleThe last game I bought was STh. I even skipped Godzilla (appears to have been a mistake
.
Surely premiums take no more of a hit than anything else, its purely game dependant?
With Venom I think the pros could be the ones that struggle to sell, Stern are reaching with that pro, its missing half the games sales pitch/tagline.
Just watched this video from SFGE. Game does look cool....

Agreed, I've watched all the gameplay videos numerous times since reveal.
What you going for @Alpha1 ? LE
The having to pay the entire thing up front has kind of killed it for me.
I'll wait on the sidelines and maybe grab a second hand premium.
I think this will be a really good game.
I’l also come out of the Venom closet. Not a massive fan of the theme but I love fast games, enjoy fan layouts and the more I see of this game the more I can see myself owning a Premium down the line. There’s just something about making a ramp shot and having a ball fired back down towards the flipper when the first ball has barely cleared the top of the ramp.

Just my two cents with venom, it may be brilliant and satisfying to shoot . I think we having to pay upfront it helps me think il just wait till I’ve tried it and they are on our shore . That way no pressure and no buyers remorse , no risk and no fomo of missing out on another title that may be released in between time. One things for sure it’s beautiful but at these prices I think LE’s are out and have always been for me , I’m not buying something unseen so that leaves premiums and pros and they’ll make them for a few years. Il try a venom at Xmas in Orlando then perhaps jump on jaws !
I think Venom may be more difficult to get. There have clearly been a ton of pre-orders for Pulp.
Venom may well turn out to be a rare game.
Yes, but…
This is the problem. If not many people buy NIB then that’s fewer on the secondary market. If it turns out to be good, supply and demand kicks in and they’ll be both difficult and expensive to get. Happened frequently in the past. Hmmm.

True but pretty quick you’ll know if it’s for you if you find somewhere to try it , phil will still have some then pull the trigger … that’s my thoughts

Other problem is I’d hope the pro scratches the itch , unfortunately I think it may need to be a premium and for me 11k for meh theme is too much … imagine buying this then at Xmas jaws comes out or worse still bttf myself personally I’d be wounded …. I Duno it’s a tough call everyone likes new pins 
Think if jaws came next I’d be ok but if its bttf im totally screwed and selling a kidneyOther problem is I’d hope the pro scratches the itch , unfortunately I think it may need to be a premium and for me 11k for meh theme is too much … imagine buying this then at Xmas jaws comes out or worse still bttf myself personally I’d be wounded ….

How long will it be before pulps start showing up here? Will it be like CCR and held back so issues can be ironed out.
I think I must be one one of the few people who loves Back to the Future but isn't too fussed about a Pin being released, same for Jaws. People can build it up so much in their mind that it's likely to disappoint if the don't absolutely nail it and get all the major assets.
It will be Back to the Future 3 if JJP get it.
Probably next year...or the year after...
They'll be on the production line this year. CCR were held back for financial reasons rather than production.
Yeah, I'd always fancied a Led Zep but so few were sold.
Also a good watch if you have a spare 1.20hr. Interview with Brian eddy and Dwight at the start and then some gameplay with them. Dwight explaining rules/code along the way.
I’m getting more and more excited about this one.
Anyone know how the Carnage captive ball target physically works, can't say I've seen one like it before? Does it move up 1 step per hit or would a decent hit move it further?
I was thinking if it's the latter, over time would it move further as it loosens up or become stiffer and need a bit of lubricating?

I believe it is variable. I am not sure if it's the weight of the hit or if it moves based on what it wants to move back to the Ravencroft gates.
