Has anyone seen a Zeppelin Pro for sale recently in Canada? Curious what they're going for this side of the border. Seems to be one of the more frowned upon machines but I haven't seen one for sale in a while. Haven't played one but have been intrigued by the Zeppelin branding on the pro cabinet
Price Check - LZ PRO

$5300 U.S seems to be the Cheapest, but I payed $4000 for mine. https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/156435
It's not the greatest Stern, I think Gary gave Richie a shitty budget... Look at what he did with Elton John!

thanks for the info. If the Canadian dollar ever makes a run 5k USD NIB would be a great price. Will keep an eye on them

Had an LZ premium. LZ is fun game and I think the pro mite be the better game as the Electric Magic can develop issues and you can still put ELs in the pro.
$5000 USD for a NIB is a great deal.

True and EM Frenzy is fun but it also blocks the center ramp when it's up.
The pro definitely seems bare but it flows better IMO.
Make sure you try it before you buy it. Not easily re-sold. I temp traded for a premium for a while. We thought the premium was bare AF. We didn’t connect with it for whatever reason. Love the music. Found the gameplay uninspired. Never tried or seen a Pro though.
I have to admit though that I find pretty much all music/band themed games to be boring. I like storylines. Give me a reason to make shots. Collecting band members or records or fans just doesn’t click with me. If I want that I can just haul out my 360 and play some Rockband lol.
Never tried Foo Fighters but that one might be fun. It’s a story with FF music instead of a story about FF music.

Foo Fighters is pretty great. I'm only a passing fan of the band but Jack Danger did a good job with the layout and the story line with the funny "Saturday morning cartoon" theme makes it fun.

Band pins not for everyone and I'd argue they are mostly for fans of the title band or people that love classic rock in general. That said good code and callouts can make a band pin a lot more fun than just the music. I'm a huge music fan so I love them but I can see why people don't love LZ.

I am a fan of LZ AND of classic rock in general. I'm not a fan of pinball gameplay that feels like chopping wood for no reason. I am a huge fan of Metallica - have been all my life. Metallica is not a game I want in my line up. I've tried it. Meh it's ok. Yes I know some here will cry "sacrilege!" lol.
I find ACDC ok as well but wouldn't want it my lineup either. I will agree that band pins are not for everyone though. I'm that "one" lol.
I will gladly enjoy my brother's Rush at XMas though. As long as I don't have to bring it back with me haha.

It's ok. I'm very ok with people having different tastes in pinball lol.
I will always have Rush. It was my dream theme. I would buy a FF, also great music great game. If they ever make a Van Halen or Def Leppard I'm in for those. I guess chopping wood to good music is fun for me.
I have that with other people's dogs and kids. Well.....no....just the dogs.
