Hello Pinside, this is my first post and I'm looking for advise. Tomorrow I pick up my first pin and I've got the choice between rescuing a Twilight Zone or a Adams Family pin from a street. Each for the same price and each in used average condition.

I see both pins are in the top ten in pinside ratings, but while reading the user reviews two words keep popping up.. Twilight Zone seems to frustrate people, but then they learn to love it.... while Adams Family's the buzz word is just "fun".

I know this is will eventually just come down to my personal preference, but that's my problem I'm not drawn to one more than the other. Twilight seems like it might need a little more love condition wise but both are far from mint. Also, what would these machine draw in what I'd consider fair condition?

Thanks, I'm still not sure which I'll buy yet..

Lord of the rings and Theatre of Magic always call my name... maybe I should hold out and try to score one of those... buying ur first pin is suppose to be fun not stressfull..

TigerLaw, I just signed up today and threw that in my collection as i was pretty certain that was going to be my pick. Then of course the doubt started to creep in...lol

After playing some emulators and watching some video's... i have to agree with everyone that I can't go wrong with either pick. I'd love to travel to Vegas and play them all.. but that's just not an option at the moment. The wife already thinks I've lost it....maybe I've lost it in the zone. HA!

I went with the Twilight Zone today... it came down to which theme I loved more. The mods available are down right cool too, thank everyone for the advise and the welcome.
