Quoted from Honch:That is of course if the BBB's I seen actually went in the 15 to 16 thousand range.
Wow, that's what they sell for? I liked BBB but no way is it worth even half that much to me.
No way Jose!
Two pins are usually better than one... Especially TZ and MB!
BBB is a great pin, don't get me wrong, but to trade those beauties over and have to fork over even more $$$ for that machine is just crazy.
How about we petition Gene for another batch instead??? 
That- or fire up the DeLorean, to get in on the original re-production! ("Stupid NP!" Kicks self...

I'll give you my deposit Marty. 
Quoted from NimblePin:Two pins are usually better than one... Especially TZ and MB!
I agree. The only way I'd do it is for a straight up trade,no cash. You could sell the BBB down the road and replace your TZ and MB and still have enough cash to get something else. From a financial standpoint it makes sense. From a fun standpoint probably not. I will admit I've never played BBB, but I own a MB and have played TZ alot and they rock.

Quoted from kwiKimart:It's not worth trading those two pins even for one of the 14 Capcom actually built.
I disagree. Check out pics of my friend Kim's #13 on IPDB. Purple powercoating, it's badass. Even more so in person.
No. If your a collector it's tempting. Those 2 you're trading I think together are more fun than any one pin.
Quoted from dvandentop:bbb is a great game but would be a hard decision, they should make another run of them!
Supposedly, why 186 were made is because Gene used all the parts he had and it came out to ~186. I would have loved to have Gene and Planetary pinball re-run that game but don't think they will. He's onto Kingpin if that ever gets made.
Biff get out of that car!!
Quoted from tatman9999:Bill thats a hard one I like all three. I will own a BBB one day. But I don't think I would trade my TZ and MB for one. But if you do I will be over to play it. I have wanted one for awhile. Are you done with mb and TZ?
I really enjoy MB (just had her totally shopped - sparkles) and TZ is deep and fun. But I find myself leaning towards other games in my collection when I have time to play. TZ gets 0 love from guests (non pinheads) and I took it out of lineup to make room from Tron LE and you know what not really missing it. MB sparkles and I still press play on SS sitting next to her. I think I'm going through a fad right now. As the song goes "when you can't be with the one you love, honey, love the one your with"
I'd take odds you get one before me but you always have an invite to come over if I get one.

I would do it, would definitely like to own one some day and if you ever have the chance for a decent deal/price I think a person should make the deal. While you would be loosing two great titles they are alot easier to come by if you want to replace them down the road.
Quoted from vid1900:BBB is one of the best looking games of all time (I have not played it )
I agree, it is definitely one of the best looking pins ever! It plays pretty nice too.

I guess this is also what I'm thinking. Get the BBB, keep it forever and get the other 2 pins back later? not a bad idea if you have some money floating around.
If I'd known then what I know now, I'd have bought 2 BBBs with a bank loan - can't beat that kind of interest.
Quoted from gweempose:The more I think about it, the more I think you should make the trade, Bill. There just aren't that many BBB's around. If you like the game, you should grab one while you have the chance.
My understanding is that the questions is hypothetical... I don't think the option actually exists... might be wrong though!?
BBB is a great game as I just bought one a few months back NIB.. I like it allot yet I don’t think it would be worth it unless you have the money to spare and it’s not a big deal to acquire the game. Getting rid of two great games plus having to spend some cash out of pocket does not sound like a good deal to me. Once the high of having the game fades and you have put plenty of plays on it I think you might regret it and miss the other two.

Do you regret buying it?

No not at all. I love my BBB yet I got 9 games with my 10th game comming as I got a transformers decepticon on its way. Its a great game and I have still not gotten to wizard mode on it. I was trying to put myslef in someones elses shoes as If I had to give up two of my games to get it I think I would regret it 8-)
Quoted from pinballslave:My understanding is that the questions is hypothetical... I don't think the option actually exists... might be wrong though!?
It was hypothetical. No one has offered me that deal. After playing a BBB the other day got my thinking what would I be willing to give up to get one - and does that make sense. I know for a trade it would take two A titles to make it work. Those two might be the ones I would let go if hypothetically someone offered me the deal.
Quoted from ianwho:I just want to play one. I have played most of the pins in the top 100, but never a BBB.
It caught be by surprise how much I enjoyed it. Hope you get the chance to play one.
They will probably have it again at CAX next year Ian.
You can play it there! (Hopefully it will be leveled this time... 
)
Quoted from terrable:who looking for bbb i know where theres one for sale
me me me!!
