Hey all - last fall, I bought my first pin. I asked for input, and it turns out that DILE was actually a pretty great choice for a single pin collection. Thanks for the help! As you all are aware however, there's no such thing as a single pin collection. Which brings me back here to get some further opinions about what the perfect complement would be in a two pin collection. It's already tricky to make room for the second pin, so until I convert my garage, this will be it - let's not get into the "buy 3 pins for less money!"

I've made a poll of the pins currently on my wishlist, but I'd be happy to have a conversation about pins that aren't already included, and I'd love to hear opinions about why a particular pin would be a great pairing with Dialed In. Also, price does matter - I'd rather spend $5k than $10k, but it's not the most critical factor either - it'll certainly be easier to get my wife on board with the choice if it's going to cost less.

Quoted from snyper2099:

No one here wants to help you pick your next game if your wife is not on board.

Well - she's on board in principle. If I'm trying to convince her that I really need a NIB JJPOTC, I might have a little more work ahead of me.

Quoted from TheLaw:

How does she feel aboot ACDC? I personally hate it but it's very popular with a wide range of people.
Personally from your list, again factoring in the wife and what looks to be a daugher, and I might go AFM.

My wife would choose The Hobbit from a theme standpoint - it looks spectacular, and she loves Tolkien. I bet that'd translate into some of the other fantasy themed pins though - LOTR, GoT, MM... She likes AC/DC's music pretty well, but she's never played the pin, so I don't have a lot of signal to go on there.

My daughter is 3, so aside from trying not to scare her, her preference is less relevant.

There's a reason Walking Dead isn't on my list though.

I'm most interested in thoughts on what would be the best game to pair with DI though - It's definitely a Lawlor pin through and through, and so I'm tempted to go with a Ritchie design for a very different feel. That said, I'm interested to hear what others have to say.

Quoted from TheLaw:

Yep that's actually why i was leaning towards ACDC or AFM.

I'm tempted by ST:TNG for the same reason - and the callouts.
