    Quoted from dgoett:

    Most "mods" are a terrible waste of money. Even more so than NIB pins. Cliffy protectors and other things that protect your pin I don't consider mods. ColorDMD are a nice addition, too. Shakers or even pinblades are OK mods and even toppers if that is your thing [isn't mine]. But just because there's a graphic on the playfield doesn't mean you have to buy an overpriced Chinese piece of garbage that looks kinda like it and stick it above it. Addams and TZ come to mind. Oh, the things people do.....
    I buy games to play. Not to make into a dollhouse.

    I agree 100%. I'm not so worried about the price but value. A lot of mods look tacky IMHO, are just crap that will fall apart or represent some 1000% mark up I am not willing to pay ever.

    Having said that I do buy a few things now and then but they are often small and I think I literally own 3 mods across all of my games not counting cliffys.

    One plug for the red smoke mod on WOZ though, not cheap but worth every penny.
