Let's assume real estate is so expensive that any extra square inch would cost you an arm, or that you swore to your significant other you would never cross that line… 10 pins, no more.

Choose wisely. Unlimited budget and patience.
- What would be your choice?
- How far are you from your ideal? (3/10 in my current lineup, but Nemo and Predator are already paid for)

Here is mine:
- 3 "boutique" pins, rotating between Nemo, Predator, Wooly, AMH, P3, Full throttle, TBL, Circus Maximus, Timeshock… I love these projects. P3 and Full Throttle with games you can swap could be elegant ways to break the 10 game limit…
- ACDC BIB – might consider temporary trades with STLE or MetLE… perhaps TWD
- WPT (yes, it is a keeper) – would only consider temporary trades with RBION or WoF
- LOTR – a pin I owned and I had to sell for cash. Obviously I miss it.
- One pin from the Bally golden age…Centaur or Fathom or 8 ball Deluxe or Medusa, rotating.
- One Generation 2 Zaccaria, rotating (Farfalla, etc)…
- Bally Spectrum. My first pin. Unique layout, cool artwork: that's a keeper I would only allow to leave… for HEP restoration.
- Bally Fireball. Needs one EM and this is my all time favorite.

Overall: Stern x3, Bally x3, boutique pins x3, Zaccaria x1
(Not a single Williams, I know I should be ashamed; I like MM or AFM but I can live without them…).

And if I could cheat and add an 11th pin it would be another EM for variety (one with 3" flippers and inlanes) but I have not found my holy grail yet.

Spectrum

Wow! Spectrum too! I feel less lonely in that universe

No one added TWD since the latest news !?
... you can still edit your post!

Will try to digest all this information if / once we reach 100 lists.

Quoted from TheDrewster:

Can we have 15 instead?

Nope but you can designate pins that will rotate.

Note that this is not necessarily your top 10 list: more like the combination of pins you would like to have in your house at a given time.

PS: if the last Expo made you change your mind, you can still edit your selection. Will analyze it in a few weeks.
