    If you've purchased and received a new pinball machine from a manufacturer or distributor that came packaged in box or crate (NIB), this poll is for you. If you bought NIB pin that was purchased for a show and it was sold to you afterwards as a special, consider that to be a NIB purchase. However, buying a one-owner home use only (HUO) game does not count as NIB purchase, sorry. This poll intends to explore the impact of BUYING a new in box (NIB) pinball machine over time.

    Select as many boxes that apply (if you purchased at least one NIB game within the past 3 years and another one that was more than 5 years ago, you would check at least those 2 boxes. If you bought 10 NIB games last week, you would check at least one box). Look for sister poll tracking current status of those NOOBS.

    Reason for using 8 years in the poll is that people average 7-8 years in a hobby before moving on. Some leave quicker and some of the old timers purchased NIB games before 2010. My only nib games have been Shrek, TronLE, IM, WOZ, AC/DC, Hobbit, RZSSI and Alien. First four are now gone, the final four remain.
