I first created this poll about a week ago and had to make a few adjustments to the parameters (everyone takes things so literally)...as well as heard a few good suggestions of missing pins and decided to give this another try. I'm going to NOT include the ever-popular WW, Taxi and FH from this poll in the effort of digging a little deeper into 80's era pins. Yes, there will be a couple from 1990 and 1979 included (hence the word ERA) and there will be pins that aren't included that you may feel is unforgivable....oh well, not everyone likes Fire!, let alone laid hands on a Cyclopes or Night Moves....

EBD and Pinbot hold the lead with Firepower close behind...of course we don't even have a 100 data points...be good to get this poll up to 200 votes if we could....

Was hoping still for more data points - but it looks like EBD will get the win, with Flash Gordon a close 2nd....

Quoted from Blackbeard:
Revise poll and your thread to include these pins.
Poll is deemed invalid without.

I know you jest, but this is the revised poll - the first poll seemed to only have votes for WW, FH and Taxi - I thought it best to dig a little deeper....so they had to be removed to get a little deeper look.....

Pinbot, EBD, HS...aren't a surprise....but, IMHO, I thought Flash Gordon was an interesting surprise....

RG getting 0 votes is interesting....I'm not enamored with the theme - but the game play and toys are hard to argue....

I'll close it once we reach 200 votes...but i'll be hard to beat EBD at this point...

Almost to 200....5 more votes....if they aren't all for Pinbot - looks like EBD will win this little poll.
