Yesterday they finally released the (supposedly) full schematic of the playfield.
It has some cool elements (4 trap-door pop-ups, weird 3 or 4 way diverted ramps etc...), but overall I'm not to thrilled with what I'm seeing here. It really is to early to judge, but I dislike the symmetry and that fact that the lower 2/3rds seem almost empty enough to be an old EM table.
On the plus side it has already gone up in value $500+ more than I paid and it still won't be finished being built for a year. I'm guessing that by the time I unbox it, it will be worth about $1000-$1500 more than I paid, so if I don't like the end result I'll just sell it at a profit.
