Jersey Jack, 2016With all the new pinball machines coming out, (GOT is out), which pin do u guys/gals think has the biggest bang for your buck? Not talking about he lowest end model like a pro, etc... The top model of each. I know some of you have not played any of these, just trying to get comments on what each pinball offers. 
Umm 3 of these aren't out to the point where we havent played them on any amount of completed game code. Can't really judge other than on looks. They all look neat I guess...
Even though I am all in on TBL, it would be hard to call it bang for your buck.. If you got in early it was $8500.. Already one of most expensive. If you buy today it will be $10k.
If you couple that with recent setbacks on licensed music and the like.. Yeah even if it's got a ton of stuff going for it, its never going to win this competition.
RZ, only one that's going to go up in price right after it comes out. Can't beat that bang for your buck even if the game ends up sucking.
Quoted from DaveH:So not talking about "Bang for your buck". Got it.
The laugh I had reading that was inappropriately loud at my office.
Quoted from pmWolf:Can't find "Gladiators" in the poll....
Can't find sanity in this thread.
Quoted from vdojaq:Not sure about any of those pinball machines, but about 25 years ago I banged a girlfriend over my Space Invaders pinball. Does that
count?
No it does not count...That means you had a Space Invaders pinball as a relatively young man, therefore, you weren't banging a "girlfriend".
Haha.
Bang for you buck, you would have to add the hot sister, anything goes and breakfast in the morning.. several times at these prices.
Quoted from goatdan:Bang for your buck using games that are minimally $6k?
I vote Jurassic Park, Viper Night Drivin, Starship Troopers and Pinbot. I could get all those for $6k.<
Bang for your buck using games that are minimally $6k?
You would be selling every one of those in 3 months tops.
Been there.
NONE OF THE ABOVE. NIB is not a good value anymore. Hasn't been for a long time. Maybe 2007-2008. Now you are better off buying used if you want value.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:You would be selling every one of those in 3 months tops.
Odd, of those Starship Troopers is the one with the least time over here, at about two years now. JP, VND and Pinbot are probably around 10 years now. Sick of none of them.
Quoted from Jjsmooth:No it does not count...That means you had a Space Invaders pinball as a relatively young man, therefore, you weren't banging a "girlfriend".
Haha.
1989....I was 18, got the Space Invaders as a B-day gift when I was 15. Seems to add up to me!
You forgot IMVE, Metallica and ST.
As far as new pins those are the best bang for your buck right now. If nib it is IMVE.
All the pins listed either don't exist for sale yet. And when they do get made are the same or more $. And GOT is not complete rule wise.
But there really is no bang for your buck as no one knows actually how good any of those games are going to get or be in the future.
