Do it. I think Lord of the Rings alone makes the trade worth it. I'm not a big CV fan, but getting those three games in return is a no-brainer. I'd probably sell the POTC and try to replace it with a TSPP or a nice Bally or WMS game or something like that down the line.

Didn't you already own a LOTR? I personally wouldn't get rid of the MM. Especially one in as good a condition as yours. But if you don't like the CV, trade it for one of the other pins you like.

Pirates and Family Guy have a very low replay factor in my opinion. I don't think this is a very good deal at all. If it were me I would look into trading the CV for LoTR and hold onto the MM.

Oh wait, I didn't see the MM tucked in there. Never miiiiiind, that changes everything. Ok, so I'd not let go of the MM, but dump that CV!

Me personally I wouldnt do it. LOTRs is the only one worth getting out of those 3. I not a fan on FG and POTC is an ok game but not close to the level of MM and CV. But thats just me. O and tatman I would like to still come and check out the pins when you are avalible. I would really like to play MM and CV before you get rid of them. And you can come check out my pins when ever, just let me know. I should have my leds for my Whirlwind tomorrow.

You could get 2-3 stern pins and 2k for the MM alone - seems like a bad trade to me. I'd take a LOTR's but not really interested in POTC or FG.

Id trade the CV for the LOTR - plus $500 from other guy

I thought you had a LOTRs also - if you have 2 I'll take one

I would never make that deal. POTC and FG are snoozers. LOTR is great, but it isn't even worth a straight up trade for CV alone (presuming it is a nice CV). The MM shouldn't even be in the discussion.

I would sell them outright without making the trade. Then you can pick out the pins you really like plus have some extra mad money burning in your pocket.

tatman trade cv for afm....thats the only good choice.

now that you've had MM for awhile does it just not having the staying power you thought?

I agree tatman, I would rather have $9000 in 3 or 4 good pins then all in 1 pin, not matter what pin it was. MORE PINS THE BETTER! I say.

I would not pay $8000 for MM,especially since I think the newer Sterns Like SM and LOTR are more fun. On the other hand if I had a MM I would think Twice before selling it.

You may find that wedging the pins that close together might be uncomfortable to play with another person on the machine next to you. Especially if they have "Jazz Hands"

You bring up a good point, and I've often thought about this when planning out my game room. What do you guys think is the minimum amount of space needed between flipper buttons to ensure that adjacent players are comfortable?

My personal preference is 10 inches between the buttons but I would say 8 at a minimum.

That doesn't sound too good does it?

For me, MM isn't over rated, it's just overpriced. It's a fun game and all, but I don't think it's $5k or $6k fun. A good shape MM can fetch $6K. CV maybe $3,800? Round that to 10K

LOTR HUO - $3,500
FGY HUO - $3,500
POTC - $3,100

I honestly think your about $2K ahead in the deal. I happen to think that LOTR and FGY are FANTASTIC games. I own Family Guy, have for a few months and I continue to love it. Also, they didn't make very many and the word is they aren't going to make any more so you never know.

MM is a great game but over priced, CV is a good game but you have to appreciate the art to make it worth it. You could sell the POTC, take the $2K cash and have 2 great games and $5K to pick up the ones you want. I dunno, I'd do it.

After reading the posts it sounds like you have quite a bit into your MM, the question is are you ever going to get out of it what you put into it?

I wouldn't do it. I would sell the MM and from that buy 2 really great pins of your choosing. Oh, I just saw you decided to do it. Wow you have a great collection must be fun to have such a variety!!! Hope the trade works out for you well.. I agree with you strictly on a playing standpoint I would choose Spiderman above all the others including MM.

I'd take that trade in a second! LOTR is Stern's MM and is a better game in many ways. FGY is also great! I'm not that big of a POTC fan, but you can always sell or trade that game off later if you wanted to? I think you come a little ahead in trade value too.

I wonder why? I guess they just don't identify with the licenses.

I want a sttng one day for myself. Where do you rank it within your collection?
