My new JJ POTC - I got a steal of a deal on it and this thing is loaded with features. My mom usually goes to bed around 9PM so I typically bring dates over to see my themed corner at night. Not trying to brag or anything but once they see it, let's just say this captain typically gets asked below deck.
potc (resized).jpgI used to think my all original IJ was bolted to the floor but a guy came with an angle grinder made of cash last week and took it away.
F14 tomcat was my first love as a teenager, was my first ever restoration and will never leave. I’ve told the kids to bury me in it!

LOL
Quoted from oldskool1969:IF there can only be one it would be Gilligan's Island.
Is this is a joke?
Quoted from shacklersrevenge:Is this is a joke?
Absolutely not.
My BSD Has been bolted. My 1st pin actually, It is not CQ, although very very nice. TFTC very very nice, double bolted (cause of the wife)
All the rest never stayed.... CQ SS gone...CQ TZ gone..CQ TAF gone. Non CQ's but very very nice..all moved on. for different reasons.
I fully expect MBR LE to be bolted
Quoted from pcprogrammer:Wow a lot of BSD. Haven't ever played it.
If you get everything going (at the same time) just frickin crazy *That* will want you to keep it. IMO
The pins I’ve put over 80 hours into restoring are the ones I’d designate as BTTF, just because it makes me sick to think of working for less than $10 an hour. There’s no reason to bolt a game to the floor if it’s newer than 2010 or so. You can always get another one. Heck, I love GOTG, but I sold it just to try another newer Stern down the road.
Keeping the whole present collection. I put lots of time and work in them. They all play and look great. MBr SE will also never leave when it gets here.
I own 36 machines and I think about 30 of them are bolted.
Would still like to add Four Square, Blackout, EBD and a few others.
I own 61 machines most of them are bolted to the floor the only ones that are not bolted are wild life, gay 90's, Harley Davidson Sega, and gottlieb James Bond.
Quoted from jgentry:None of them, some day they will all be gone.
Yep. Every game has its price.
When I tire of the hobby, they all go.....
Until then, mine all stay, and I'm sure there will be more.... 
Quoted from ZEN:Tron and Robo-War.
Quoted from pcprogrammer:I really want a Tron. Hope they do a vault someday, that has the potential to become a keeper for me.
Tron is pretty cool and I would want it for the theme more than the gameplay, but I really want a Robowar. That is one fantastic pin.
Grand Prix was my first, and all (well almost) Gottlieb AAB Wedge Heads that I haven't dups of.
And for sure, not any of the true 2 Player Gottlieb AABs..
Oh, and the non-wedge head Flipper..
Quoted from swampfire:The pins I’ve put over 80 hours into restoring are the ones I’d designate as BTTF
You designate them back to the future??
My TSPP doesn't leave the house until I do.
It will be fun to revisit this thread a year from now and see how many ‘never leave’ games are no longer in people’s collections..
Quoted from cletus:Tron is pretty cool and I would want it for the theme more than the gameplay, but I really want a Robowar. That is one fantastic pin.
Shhhh! We don't need anyone else to know how good Robowar is! At least not until after I find one.
