    My current lineup is a
    TSPP
    LOTR
    TZ

    Will have enough cash really soon to add one more A-lister to my lineup.

    I have wanted a SM forever !
    I am a Tron geek so that theme screams buy me!
    I played an AC/DC Premium and I absolutely loved it !

    Gggrrrhhh.

    What do you guys think.

    #2 10 years ago

    SM by a long shot!

    Also > sell me the TZ for a fair price anyway

    You have a nice collection so far, I'd add a fast paced, high flow game to your mix, any of the 3 you list above would compliment your collection nicely..

    Spiderman or Tron if you can't find one. Either of those would be great. Tron is a quicker/faster game & Spiderman has a little bit "more going on."

    #5 10 years ago

    if you can afford one of those 3, I would choose neither and buy 3 or 4 other games instead. If cash is tight. Get more for you money buying older games. LOTR is one of my top 5 games of all time, but if my collection was small. I'd rather have 4 or 5 other titles instead. Fill the gameroom up to the max first. Then slowly swap stuff out and upgrade here and there. Because 4 games will always be more fun and hold attention more over time, than 1. No matter what.

    I think AC/DC would fit in great with the other games you currently have. Add a music themed pin.

    I have a few video games in my gameroom as well.
    My custom built Mame Cab (my gateway drug to all this madness!)
    Sportstation NFL Blitz/NBA showtime combo
    Multi Williams game
    DK
    Multi Ms Pac
    Atari Warlords cocktail
    Atari X's and O's Football cocktail
    Space Duel soon to be a multi vector game
    and a Gotlieb Strikes n Spares along with a bar and a pool table.

    I agree that Speed and flow is definitely lacking with my current pins.

    In the not so distant past I had a nice condition Shadow and player HS2 side by side for a little while (talk about speed and flow) and then for the last couple of years I have been favoring the deeper rule set games.

    As you can tell by the games I am considering I want to compliment my current games.
    Anyone own all 3 SM, Tron and AC/DC?
    Which gets the most play from non pinheads and guests?

    I don't own Tron. But I own AC/DC and SM. I also own LOTR and TSPP which you have in your current collection. I decided not add Tron awhile ago mainly because I don't need another sci fi, fantasy, action theme in my collection. (and I think the others are better games too)

    Non pinheads tend to play AC/DC in my house. Mainly because I think the music is easier to relate to for them. If probably depends on what type of non pinheads you mean as well, kids would probably prefer SM and Tron, adults might prefer AC/DC.

    I sense you will get a fairly split vote. All 3 of these are in the top 20 of Pinside's Top 100, as I am sure you know. So we all have a lot of love for all 3 of these games. I have Tron and AC/DC Prem currently, and guess what I have been wanting a Spiderman for awhile now. I agree with the previous writer that AC/DC gets a lot of love from non pinheads at my home, Tron doesn't get much. Not sure if that is an issue for you. If you had equal access, I would grab a Spiderman, they are not that easy to come by, especially when shopping locally, while the other 2 are still in production. Regardless, hard to go wrong with any of them, all make a nice addition to your already sharp collection. Good luck, a lot of people out there wish they were in your shoes with money ready to spend!

    Any of those games could easily be resold so I'd get the one you have wanted the longest.

    I got all three . SM gets the most money at location .

    #14 10 years ago

    I have this problem too. I have enough money for one more game this year and I can't decide between getting a NIB Star Trek or a nice LOTR? What to do?

    In order of priority:
    ACDC Premium. (To me, this is the best pin ever made. I have yet to find its equal)
    Spiderman. Hoping to get one shortly.
    Tron. Picking one up in a few days. Hoping to trade up to Spiderman in a few months, once I have my fill of Tron.

    All three are great games and will be a nice change from your existing line-up. Good luck!

    #17 10 years ago

    I have a TZ, just added a Tron. You can't go wrong with any of the machines you have in the poll. I am partial to the Tron.

    I'm glad you finally got your Tron. Did you trade for it or just buy it outright? I know you really wanted to do the trade.

    #19 10 years ago

    I have all three. I think Acdc gets the most plays from non pin heads. I play tron the most. My wife hates Acdc. She thinks it is evil. Spider-Man is awesome but has been in my collection the longest. Soon it will be moved to our vacation home and replaced by Metallica.

    All are great games. If I could only have one it would be tron.

    #20 10 years ago

    In your list,I would chose the Sm.I hate the Tron, but better you take a AFM.In your Collection is a
    WPC 95 missing.
