he does. Unfortunately, I don't have the room to have all 38 Zacs. So I need to stick with just my Gen 2 collection so I have room for other obscure stuff that I like.

no such thing as not for sale. But if someone wants IO moon, it's going to be costly. Like King Kong prices.

Last one sold for 5500 so guess you put a number on it, but I don't see anyone going that crazy heh.

I think you need to add the word known. Not everyone is on pinside or rgp and people are free to import/export as the please. It is interesting to read up on how many obscure European machines turn up in yard sales/barns/etc. If memory servers before you got yours there was one other although no one knows where it went. It might be rotting in a chicken coop or just stashed in a collector's basement.

yes, it's so rare, i've never seen one in the 8 years i've been looking for one. And only knew it existed because of Matt buying his.

If I took it to a show. then there would be a huge uproar for it. Everyone that plays it here loves it. Unfortunately i'm not willing to take it to shows. Due to it's extreme rarity and the fact that it's heavy as shit. Whatever they made the cabinet out of, weights a ton.

I know of an IO Moon in Oregon. I've seen it with my own two eyes. Not for sale but pointing out lots of machines go officially unreported.

I know plenty of folks who don’t post their collection because they don’t wanna be bothered for their rare games. Lots of people try cold calling (or messaging) and such.

...Or it could be in a chicken coop!

that is true. i'm sure there are 1 or 2 in hiding around here. I'm just saying i've never seen one, or heard of another in the US. I know of a POS one down in brazil that has been harvested of things.

This probably would have sold already if the GI lights were loaded in red, purple, and blue!

but then you wouldn't be able to actually play it. People in these parts like to actually play pinball machines.

I'm just shocked you would get rid of a game featuring a dude in a speedo and a cape. It's like I don't even know you.

if I had unlimited space it would be staying and i'd go for a full set of zacs. but i'm limited, so i'm only sticking to my desire to get a full set of Gen 2's. So I have space for some other variety. Already sold my other Zac EM aerobatics.

Geeze, come on guys, don't you know the new standard for 'Driving Distance' has become 22 hours?

I really can't believe this game is still for sale in that region. Wish I was going to MGC this year, I'd love to play it.

Seems to be just certain times are worse than others to try and sell. I shouldn't of put it up around xmas time. Not usually the time people are buying machines. Well not, collectors like us anyway.
