Daaaaaaannnnnnnnnngggg!!! That’s one sweet machine!

Wow, terrific!!!!

One of the few machines that I sold and had to have back. Just bought a very nice one to make a permanent part of the collection or I'd be seriously considering the seller's machine. I've owned most modern Sterns and a clean, waxed JM makes them all seem slow. If you're in the hobby mainly to play, this is a ton of machine for $4k. Yea the license sucks, but Gomez did an unbelievable job integrating the theme and the playfield geometry is basically perfect (not sure how the same guy designed BM66 and Avengers). Good luck.

I couldn’t agree with this sentiment more as I just went out and had to get another one. The game is fast and fun with fantastic integration.

Good luck with your sale as this is a nice looking pin. I am always baffled at the pricing of JM and Shadow compared to other pins.

really pushing the limits of the ceiling with that topper, huh?

God, I want this so bad.

One of the, if not the most underrated machines of 90's era imo. When you get on roll with yakuza strike, spinner minions and started up the multiball there is no other game that plays faster. Just fantastic.

I saw this in person when I bought Rob's Baywatch, which was just as nice. It looks even better in person and his games were very well maintained. He even helped us pack the hell out of the thing and move it up and out. Nice dude and nice games!

Would love to purchase if you can get it to louisville or chicago.

Nice pin, I had a sweet one similar to this one but in chrome, I do miss it. What kinda of dot controller board is that?

Nice example bump.

Any one coming from that area to the Louisville or indy area? I want this but can’t drive the 7 hrs one way

Theme. That's basically it. If JM were "The Matrix" and if The Shadow wasn't based on some terrible movie, they'd both be up there with AFM and MM in my opinion. I'd prefer both JM and Shadow over TOTAN.

I could swear The Shadow jumped in price after Aurich's awesome art package for that game .

This particular JM is worth the asking price. That machine looks restored to the 9s !

I’ve got one of the nicest met prem ready to trade

Still interested

Ok pinside...a lil help here please...do you give up your flawless IMVE for this...?!?!...I’m on the fence right now...I could use a push one way or the other...Thank you...(yes we talked about the + cash and came to a fair trade offer)..............Joey

Personally I wouldn't, but they are both sweet games, just up to what you enjoy playing more I think.

Probably never find a nicer Jm, if you missed iron man you could always get another later on down the line

Since you asked It matters how much cash. Obviously you have seen how long this has sat. He has looked to sell without the color dmd and started asking for trade. I would put that all into perspective for your cash deal because if this was a great pin at this price it would be gone a long time ago

It is a very nice looking Johnny. If I was getting a good chunk of change I would do it

IMO, Johnny is a better game than IM and I wouldn’t hesitate to make the change. Seems like JM was the inspiration for IM when it comes to flow of the ramps & orbits, and even some of the rules like Yakuza Strike vs. Bogey. Plus it has a better toy, deeper rules, and great animations/sounds. Hard to find a JM like this in excellent condition, especially the hand mech., compared to plenty of nice IM’s. Theme is the only reason that a fun but basic game like IM is more in demand/expensive then a classic, unique machine like JM.

^^^^^+1 well said.

I’ve owned a JM for almost 7 years. It’s a wildly cool game. If it were themed anything other than JM, it would be a $6k pin.

Personally, The theme doesn’t bother me. The game play, itself, overshadows it.

Someone is asking about IM Vs JM. Both fun games... very different styles of play with some similarities. Personally, I’d make the trade because you can always get IM back.

Do it!

Damn you Keith...!!!

It’s all Kevin and Nicks fault. They reviewed it a while back and made me miss it. Come home Johnny
