it sucks having such a great collection!
Yep. No doubt. Moved into our new home 2 months ago....and they all had to go into a basement with no walkout. Sucks. Don't envy the next month for you.
First world problems.
No realy though that looks like a pain to move. The machines look great though!
Quoted from DCFAN:I think I see 13 games...need to update your collection list?
Pinball machines are like rabbits, put two together and the next thing you know you have 12...or 13!

Mine have been lazy too, going on 10 years now. But we have one due to arrive this Tuesday, and another in a month or so. So, some are just slow starters.

+1 for Star trek. I would love to own that pin. there's one on location near me so I've put it off. the others are fun too. I'm not a big Metallica fan, but the pin is a lot of fun.
the most ive ever moved in one day was nine. no pinball dolly, but having a truck with a liftgate was a god send. good luck OP!
Could be worse, how about moving your collection across the country? It's one thing to hire random movers to take care of furniture and boxes, but as RussMyers said, you do not want that for your games. That has to be done yourself, or if you good friends/family/references available it makes a lot of difference.
When I moved there were 27 games that had to come up the stairs. Mostly older games with heads that had to come off, playfields had to be removed to reduce the weight..., each game was six trips up and down the stairs and then had to be reassembled in the garage to await the actual move to the new house (which only five games at the max could be moved at once) that has a walkout and then set back up after waiting months for me to tear out the walls in the new basement to make room for even more games. I tell you what, you find out who your friends really are when you move. I'll never move again thats for sure as it seems I dont have any friends. LOL.
