Quoted from spfxted:oops...just saw the other thread...low 2's?
Yea, I was pretty happy to get it at that price. Like the new avatar spfxted makes me crack up!
Looks like I missed out on the Congo that was for sale... 
I called the seller at about 5pm yesterday, only to be told that he'd reserved it for a guy 4 hours previously... had I called him in the morning he'd have reserved it for me, but I was too busy looking on Pinside! With a LOT of luck, the guy will decide not to buy the machine on Friday, but at $1500, he'd be stupid not to... looks like a very tidy example too, no cab fade and 100% working, good DMD etc...
Ah well, another will come my way no doubt! 
Ohh man sorry to hear that pinballslave! That's okay keep your head up these things tend to work out that way for a reason.
Do you really have 55 pins? Do you put them on location? Either way I am jealous you get to experience so many pins! 
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:I really enjoy the jungle theme actually. Hate to see people get caught up in the I hate the movie stuff. The movie sucked but the pin was designed great. Actually it is good the movie sucked it kept the price on the pin down just like JM I guess.
Such a good point! I will have to be more open minded when it comes to theme, still though, don't know if i can handle Mel Gibsons face on a LW3 or maverick staring at me while I play.
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Do you really have 55 pins? Do you put them on location? Either way I am jealous you get to experience so many pins!
Well, that doesn't include the EMs 
Experience is not the word though... I only have one set up to play at any one time... (Tron at the moment)... the rest are in storage... I really need to get a games room built here so I can experience them properly!! But with a 2 and 5 year old to raise, free time is very rare!!
Quoted from practicalsteve:still though, don't know if i can handle Mel Gibsons face on a LW3 or Maverick staring at me while I play.
Hahaa, say that to Mel's face and he'll likely say he will feed you to his roses... 
Quoted from pinballslave:Well, that doesn't include the EMs [
Well at least you got them just waiting to be played you lucky dog!! I hear you, it might be a while with two little ones before you get the time to build a game room but something to dream about you know.
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:something to dream about you know.
That dream keeps my passion alive!! I just hope no-one decides arson is the way forward with the storage complex I'm using in the meantime 
Swapped Tron for Strange Science last night by the way... looks like an interesting game to be honest... looking forward to 'discovering' it... that Atom Crusher thing looks weird, it's hard to even figure out what's going on there... will have to play it tonight to find out! (was too late last night by the time I let the thing thaw out after bring it in from the cold).
That looks like an awesome Congo TDA! I have been wanting to play one but haven't run across one yet. Enjoy!!
I can't believe it, but the guy who was supposed to be going to look at the Congo that was for sale at 1000euro ($1500) didn't turn up, so I've now got a shot at it!! I've got someone to go round there ASAP and take it away... (it's a 500mile journey for me, so a friend's helping out 'till I'm in the area)... so if all goes to plan, it's as good as mine!! I was sure I'd lost that one and can't believe it's still there!! 
How's your enjoyment of the game panning out after a weeks playing TDA?

That is great to hear hope it works out for you pinballslve. Well after a week I really love it. Had some friends come over to play the other weekend and they all loved it as well. Looks like I found one that will be around for a while. Did your friend end up picking it up for you or is it still in the works?
Quoted from The_Dude_Abides:Did your friend end up picking it up for you or is it still in the works?
The deal is done dude, it's at my friends waitng for me to pick it up!!
Glad you're enjoying yours!! I'm so much looking forward to getting mine set up... it will bump the Strange Science when I eventually get it home!
Even though I had to pay almost twice as much as the one I sold, I'm still very happy to get it... Panic sales are never a good idea!
Quoted from pinballslave:The deal is done dude, it's at my friends waitng for me to pick it up!!
Sweet!!!! Glad it worked out pinballslave. Hope you can get that bad boy home soon so you can get to flippin on it!
