I got 2 cabs cheaper than the market rate price of one Egret II. Last one I saw for sale was at 6500 NOT including shipping, due maintenance, new CP (it had a majong panel on it) and such.

Thanks for hosting, @daskrabs.
I was a well bit buzzed from the Halloween fun, so I had some time to sober up and hydrate before I slept. (At mid-40’s, hangovers are extra awful).
I was actually going to sell this board a month ago, but when I saw it was chosen for the SOTM, I kept it. Glad I did, I had fun diving into this game.
Couple things I observed: the bells seem to have an expiration time after they appear, to give you the good power-ups. If you shoot the bells 4-times quickly, the 5th shot or so will give you a useful power-up. Sometimes they spawn with a useful power-up right off the bat.
I usually try to get the Green and Purple bells as quickly as possible.
If you wait too long on the bell hitting, it’s more difficult for the color to turn into a useful one. You’ll likely only get Black (speed down) or Blue (speed up). At that point just collect the gold color for points.
The Twinbee attachment seems to show up randomly when destroying ground enemies. I haven’t been able to figure out a rhyme or reason for how they appear. But the Twinbee add give you more shot power, which helps a lot for those enemies that take 2 or more shots to kill.
Anyway, fun one this month.
