Quoted from waspinat0r:Ad listing: FT: HUO Batman: The Dark Knight - Looking for DE/Sega!
Didn't even know you got a BDK. If you have time and it's not too late, throw some lightning flippers on that puppy and really take it for a joy ride. I had a BDK for a few months and it shines with lightning flippers.

That's a pretty cool idea!
I caved and played a few games tonight. I'd already forgotten how fun the game was. Stacking multiballs is da bes'.

Now do that stacking with lightning flippers and your mind will be blown 
Quoted from ArkhamB:Interested in the Dark Knight but still at least a few weeks away from having the funds. Don't imagine it will last that long but I'll be watching the thread.

You do have a beautiful wwf! 
Quoted from Eskaybee:Now do that stacking with lightning flippers and your mind will be blown
Haha. I must confess I don't have a pair of those.
Quoted from waspinat0r:That being said even if I did I don't know how to install them. Haha
I'm not too pinball tech savvy but it's easy; Just requires an Allen wrench. I think you can get lightning flippers for $10 at Marco specialties. But by the time you got them, you'll probably have the game sold lol. Good luck; I just think games like BDK and SM shine with lightning flippers.
hmmm, I got a really nice Baywatch in st. louis but id never pay 4500 for a dark knight and I'm too lazy to drive anywhere.

Cardinals fan? You kind of come off that way

Awesome, I might look into that at some point if this fella doesn't sell soon.
Quoted from waspinat0r:Sportsball!
Just assuming that the best fans in baseball also were the best collectors in pinball. I mean why not right.
No joke though, you are super close to me so I wish I had something to trade or some extra cash cause I love dark knight. However I am in the hoarding of projects stage of my winter hibernation plans at the moment.

Well darn, thats too bad. If anything changes you know where to find me. 
Quoted from Brazy:Well in a couple weeks you might cave and trade me for time machine andMSF.. lol
Haha. Wait, what's MSF? 
Quoted from Doctor6:Frankenstein
I don't think you'll ever see me seeking that one out. Just not a big fan of that game.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Yo! I'm prision Mike!!! Hahahaha. Just noticed the new avatar.
Hahaha. "And I neva got caught, neithuh."
I've decided to just go ahead and lower the price to my firm price. If you were waiting to see how low i'd go, this is it.
Gonna do a little livestream at http://www.twitch.tv/waspinat0r -- if anyone wants to see BDK, just say so in chat.
Made my wants list a bit more specific. For the record I'm not looking for the nicest example machines in the world, just a good condition machine that plays as it should and isn't worn to death.
Quoted from Syco54645:Have a shadow for trade but distance is a bit far.
Feel free to pm or text me at the number in the ad.
Quoted from ArkhamB:Well thank you!
Would rather add to my small collection of games-
Hopefully you hang onto it for a bit longer- good price!
Brian
Thanks Brian
Let's just all agree that whatever you trade this for, you'll be trading that within the week.
When I first got into the hobby, I was like you. Constantly looking for that next high. Trading all the time. I had only a max of 6 machines, and had to trade to see if that next pin was THE ONE. The fact is, I wish I hadn't traded them all back then. Now that I'm back in the hobby, I don't plan to trade anything or sell anything. I want to keep adding to the collection, because I know I'll just regret selling if I do.

I get that. I guess you could say I'm still trying to find my "style" and hope that the theme is on point too. Haha! I make no claims about how long I will keep my next machine.

A lot of us, self included, have been there. having a small collection, i too used to go through pins monthly. Now that i have found my 'style', i seem to keep games longer. Here's some ideas of what pins were great to have in a small lineup - keep in mind this is my opinion being a slightly above average player:
- GOT PRO (strategies galour)
- STLE (Not the best ruleset for progression or breadth; but the warp ramp, light show, and sound package is so dam addicting. and there are some cool diverse multiplier strategies involved)
- SMVE (Gotta remove the center drain post if you have this in a small lineup)
- Mustang (yes i said mustang - its great but only if you know how to use pinball browser and edit sound files).
- FGY (need to tweak some of the stewie game adjustments - but a total package in theme, shots, and ruleset...if you like humor. might not be good in a kids environment though).
- XMEN (prefer pro - but either is fine. poor sound package but a great shooters pin).
- WOZ (poor theme, but a top 3 coded game - absolute blissful stacking fest).
- LOTR (if you're ready for the journey and are into 1-player games. its the legend of zelda of pinball). That said, i hope i never own or play an LOTR ever again lol.
- BBH (yea, i went there...BBH baby!) Game is so brutal yet so fun. Must have a sub to play, and you have to remove the elk toy to appreciate the elk side flipper more. It's not the total package and isnt meant to be; the game might not last that long due to theme, but the multiballs and buck are so challenging and fun to play and it has a big replay ability factor to it.
Here's some great games that are personal favorites but didnt click well in a small collection for me:
- ACDC: love this pin - but so brutal and sometimes feels more like work than fun in which you need a couple weeks break of not playing from time to time which is why its not a great small pin collection to have
- MET: Huge fan of the band, love this pin. But layout becomes stale in a small lineup, plus rules become a grindfest and work oriented. Still recommend to try out though in a small collection even if for a couple months cause its so dam cool at first.
- IM: great game, but shallow rules get repetitive and old fast in a small lineup. Great pin to revisit from time to time so needs to be hidden in a lineup of 4+ games IMO.
Hope this helps for ideas. Like i said, my opinion based on my experience.

I honestly think your spot on with every one of those!

Wow, thank you so much for this detailed post. It will be immensely helpful. I've learned I'm more of a flow/modes player, less of a rules/multiplier kind if guy.

Star Trek all the way. Mindless modes and flow. Haha
