Is that even possible?! haha. I'd want my top pins, then I'd probably find more that I liked and just keep collecting them all like pokemon.

I only have one pin that will be in my ULTIMATE collection. I still got a long way to go.

I don't know if I'll ever be fully satisfied with my collection. I have room for about 11 games. I'm still in the building stage (I currently own 7), but once I'm out of space, I envision six or seven being keepers and then rotating the rest. Of course, I haven't been in this hobby nearly as long as you. It's quite possible that ten years from now I will have a completely different outlook.

No..

No worries. I just moved it.

Tatman has my dream collection!

impossible for a man of my means

Yes I would say your collection is almost perfect...

I could own an Apollo 13 still.....

I was good once I landed a TAF, everything else has been gravy. I'm about a SC, BSD and RBION away now.

You have gone through quite a few machines. Glad to see you are still really interested. I fear of losing the urge eventually, as it seems a lot do. I hope that never happens.

I only have two pins and I really have few that I want to complete my dream collection.

what I want to have in future are: LOTR, MM, TZ, TOTAN, TSPP. I'm sure after having all the machines I mentioned, another list will come up lol

Not by a long shot.

So many great pins, so little time, money, and space!

I would never be able to afford my ultimate collection....

post pics of your gameroom/s please, killer collectioN!

I do not even know what I want yet.

I don't think it would be possible for me. If I ever reached my theoretical ultimate collection, there would always be that next pin that would make it even better...

Assuming my space limit of 6 pins, Not yet. But I am getting close. I really want a MB.

I think a mb or cftbl would really be a step toward making sc's collection ultimate.

My ultimate would be good games from major eras and playing styles. I'm a long ways off but thinking about pin diversity w/ more money not just buying oodles of dmds.

Unfortunately space and $$$ will always hinder this dream.
Since I don't have a basement to claim as my own, I have to make due with the space I have now.
Now, if there was some kind of *cough* "Natural Disaster" *cough* that befell the back of the house. I would be forced to expand the patio into a 16' X 28' climate controlled oasis of pinball goodness...
I sure hope nature is on it's best behavior in 2012...

I have room for 7 but have no idea what my ultimate collection would be as I find I need to own them, go through the honeymoon period and then I can reflect on whether a pin may be a keeper.

Sometimes it is necessary to let go of a pin and see if there is a pull to buy it again.

A few weeks ago I was thinking of trading TOM and then I played it again and the flow and beauty had me hooked again. I like the idea of variety and different games to suit different moods.

Ask me the same question in another 3 years time!!

No. Like others - I need more space. I've only got room for 4 pins inside. I could squeeze a few in the garage, but Houston heat would kill them.

Not yet. I'm very happy with what I have and a WOZ on the way. My ultimate collection is convincing my wife to convert the whole basement not just part of it so I can squeeze in a few more. Then that BBB, MM and Funhouse I dream of can someday slide ride in.

Like mentioned, Space is an issue for me. In addition, money as well. Nice collection you have by the way! To be quite honest I was quite jealous just reading about all the titles you have. Johnny, Apollo, Adams, TZ, MM & of course C.V. are titles I can only dream about having! Congratz to you and the nice titles you worked hard at accumulating over time!

PBD

I now have room for my ultimate collection, but I am only 1/3 the way there.

I have:
Twilight Zone
Addams Family
The Family Guy
Transformers LE Decepticon
Theatre of Magic

Ordered:
WOZ

Need:
LOTR
White Water
Medieval Madness
Monster Bash
Williams Indiana Jones
Attack From Mars or Spiderman
Star Trek TNG
Cactus Canyon

Go with AFM on this one.

Wow! Matt, by my math you have been averaging 24 machines a year for 12 years. You must be in great physical shape. My back would be shot from moving all those machines in and out of the house. This could be called " The pinball weight management" program

Hiya Matt, I'm just about there although things are always evolving but as things stand I'm liking what I have and am not looking to "replace" anything. That's a first for me since 1998.

Of course in an ideal word I would have loads more games but in the real world I tend to play the same 2 or 3 games at one time (not at once obviously). I have 5 games and a space for another and am not sure what to fill it with. Hmm an 1812 maybe?

I'd really like to find an AFM.

Sweet collection Matt, I'm a long way off from my ultimate collection.

Don't worry about the bike, cars are more comfy and warmer.... keep the pinball in.

Classic video!!!!! Made me smile big time

I must show this to my wife as it makes my 4 pins in our front room look just fine

lol, I remember seeing that video way back. Only half the garage is mine. If its below freezing, there better not be anything keeping her car out of the garage or it might end up in the drive instead.

Hi Matt, nice to see another Brit on here

Personally I'd say my collection will never be complete... it's an evolving un-tamed beast that has a mind of it's own and that I have no control over... I try to tame it, but it's an ongoing battle that I'll never win! Part on my problem is that I'm also a collector, so it opens up a world of completely crap games to play as being keepers!

RS is cool, the wife thinks Red and Ted are creepy.... what does she know!!!

I got the latest game rom ordered and I changed 2 bulbs, nothing to do but play... happy days.
