Most of mine were NIB.

LTG : )

IMVE a few years ago,then AS and SW this year. Love them! No regrets.

Monopoly in 2001 then TSPP in 2005 and the last one Metallica in 2013.

Avatar le, star wars pro and star trek premium - nib.

Yes, a few, maybe I pay more but I'm not risking a back injury, also my suv won't fit a pin unless the head is removed.

I admit I'm getting too old to pick up ,transport ( barrow some one else car) and then bring downstairs. Also my wife has put the kabash on it and asking for help from the kids.

I only started collecting just over a year ago and my first 3 pins were NIB (out of 4). I plan on buying at least 1 NIB next year too.

My first pin was a NIB Metallica, I luckily had no issues with it. Since then, the more educated I get, I tend to collect Older Williams games... DMD 4life lol

I've had over 20 pins come and go, but never a NIB. I thought Tron would be the theme to finally push me over the edge, but I have just never been able to pull the trigger as I just couldn't justify the cost. With the price increases I fear the window for me buying NIB has probably already closed.

Years gone past, we would buy one or two NIB each year. We buy what we like from any manufacturer. Cost is becoming a factor so next year probably one only.

ST pro and Alien standard. First one I unboxed solo. cool, but second was more fun to let the box sit there a while till some friends could come and share the experience.

My first and only new Pin, No Good Gofer NIB 1850.

I only go with NOOB games!

I have mixed feelings about NIB. I have bought 2 (3) if I count the Floor Model Shrek. Both times I ordered early and I was one of the later deliveries, I also felt like a beta tester both times (MMR and GBPremium) Its tough to wait basically a year or longer to get a semi finished or buggy product. I still have MMR and GB and they both have gotten better over time, but I feel that I might have been better served to buy a nice HUO one.

I have bought quite a few NIB pins, with the last one being Dialed In LE. While I had a great experience with DI, I'm probably done buying NIB.

Had pinball at home since 2002. WOZ rr was my first in August this year.Can’t see it ever leaving - love it!

Met Pro this past summer is the only NIB I’ve purchased. Might have to ad a GoT Pro if I can’t find a used one sometime next year.

I've only had three NIB's...one in December of 2003, one in January of 2016 and one about a month and half ago. Although my IMVE was practically a NIB...even showed up in its original box...but technically no.

Have many NIB EMs did you buy over the years?

can I choose no comment

Never have and never will. Complete waste of money if you ask me ! Better to buy HUO if you want a like new pin.

Yeah but that's Canadian monies which are super high.

None for me.

Uncrated many at my Father's arcade.

LTG : )

Iron Maiden will be my 1st.
Please don't fuck this up Uncle Gary.

Medieval Madness 1997
Revenge From Mars 1999
Star Wars: Episode 1 1999
Monopoly 2001
Star Trek LE 2013
Americas Most Haunted 2016
Batman 66 LE 2017

Sold SW:E1, Monopoly, AMH. Still have the others. Medieval and Batman will probably never leave.

Elvira or Toy Story is likely to be my next NIB purchase.
After that, hard to imagine a theme I'd be willing to spend the money on or give up a space for.

In the past year and a half I bought MMr, GB, WOZ RR, TH Smaug, and DI LE all NIB. In the next year I plan to buy Stern SW, JJPOTC LE and hopefully I'll get to finally purchase TBL. I love my "limited" edition JJP pins!

Mmr this year, jj potc next. Maybe a tna also

Just got in this hobby early this year and my first nib was Metallica pro, then a few months later I had to have a Hobbit le. I’m happy with both and plan to buy another soon, just can’t make up my mind on which one.

Kind of look at it like buying a new car off the dealer lot. You lose 30% of the value as soon as you drive it away. Just my 2 cents.

That said, I need people to buy the new cars so I can buy the used ones when they get bored

TNA will be my first box opening experience.

I bought my first NIB this year! AFMrLE #267. I have been collecting for 20 years. Just could not justify the cost for NIB til the AFMr le convinced me it was time. Wonder what Ill get in the next 20 years?

Got a Ghostbusters (Premium)-le love the game yes it's hard. My 1st new in box experience have the pallet on the burn pile for the winter. Had money to get this only because i had sold some other stuff non pinball and had been planing to buy a different machine that was very close in price but machine went to someone else. Yet another case of seller didn't take me seriously. But at this price it does still bother me that i could of had 2 other nice games for the price of one. Probably the only time game theme and having the money in place come together at same time. My guess is it may not happen again a new in box with the continued price increases doesn't fit my budget. Used projects work better for my wallet and i enjoy working on them.

So far, there hasn't been a title that has impressed me enough with an attractive enough price. There have been titles that have impressed me, and there have been titles with somewhat attractive pricing, but so far the two have not met yet on the same game.

If I really want a title badly enough, I can wait until it shows up later on the secondary market. Some people cycle through NIB games fairly rapidly.

Every single pinball machine out there was at some point NIB, yes all of them. So I don’t get the point of this poll. If no one buys them NIB then there won’t be any used ones to buy........

I got these NIB
The Simpsons Pinball Party
Star Trek LE
Ghostbusters LE
The Hobbit Smaug
The Wizard of Oz RR 2.0
Metallica Premium
