Quoted from jonebone:

... and WWF Royal Rumble being boring.

Interesting. Out of the choices listed in the poll, i'd take Royal Rumble over all of them. Fun game, IMHO.

Quoted from jonebone:

I have sealed video games, lighted Nintendo signs and even baseball cards worth more than the cost of the pins I'm interested in. It's really not a big deal to get one and only play it sporadically if you have the room for it. I should have one in a month or two I'm sure. Patient enough to look around but motivated enough to pay out when I find what I want.

I remember those days. I ended up selling off my console collection 8 or 9 years ago because the pinball bug got me! I also have arcade games too. I found it more fun to have a couple of pins and a few arcade cabinets I can play from time to time. All of my console stuff just sat on the shelf. Had my fun with those when I was a kid in the 90s. By my late 20s, I lost interest completely. Not saying it's the way to go for everyone, but I really have no regrets selling them for a new and exciting hobby. So much better replay in pinball. Plus, I found the social aspect to be even greater. I will say, the only thing I miss however are some of my Genesis/Megadrive games.

To pick an answer in your poll. If I had to choose one of those themes, it would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's the best theme of those 4.
