    Anybody ever go buy a pin based on theme or something else because you thought it would further your kids interest in pinball.

    Not to long ago, my son wouldn’t really play that much. He would rather watch other people paying rather than play himself.
    A while back we picked up a WOZ and he’s been getting a lot more into it. He’s only 7, but it’s really cool to see the growing interest.
    Now, he will play pretty much anything that’s in the house (especially if we play a two player game).
    That said, I have found myself looking at pins with themes that my kid can relate to based on movies and things he likes with the idea of planting the seed a little deeper.
    Examples Jurassic Park, Ninja Turles, maybe a comic book super hero theme etc.

    Yes - he liked pinball before I bought Star Wars but he plays much more since I got that title.

    I'm going to set one up at my son place for his kidvto play (3yo)
    proably go with something with an open playfield and no subway
    Ironman will be just the right game

    My kids love WOZ, MET, ACDC, and SlugFest (probably the boys favorite)
