Very nice! For recent Sterns, that's a pretty diverse lineup.
If you don't mind me asking, why'd you get out of the hobby previously?
Quoted from bdaley6509:Managed to snag a few good titles this weekend. Good to start a collection again.

Sweet new games!!
Just getting started myself and those are three of the first five I hope to snag. I'll need some more time to save up the 20k though... :\

Too many impulsive, spendy weekends.
Quoted from dung:What is the story? Collector? OP?
Not an OP. Just a pinball fanatic.

Apologies I meant on where you bought them from. Chances of buying all three nib on the same day seems a bit low.
Obviously, you have a large wallet. Anyone with that much cash could fill a room with twice as many pins as in this pic.

Maybe those are the 3 he wanted...

OK, so what is the big deal. I am aware of these pins, are they difficult to find? Some special deal? What is the backstory? I must be missing something.

He bought two LE titles (Tron & XM) and one Premium (Star Trek).
Together, those titles cost roughly $20K (TronLE $9K, XM $5K, ST $6K)
Regardless of the price tag, that's one serious weekend of collecting.
Congrats to the OP for a great haul!

Quoted from bdaley6509:Trent at Tilt is where I got them, in Ostrander, OH. Luv me some Trent
Was just talking to a pinhead about him yesterday. He has graciously handed us our ass in tournaments. Helluva nice guy though.

jealous much?

He bought some sweet pins and is happy, I think that's what you're missing.
Congrats OP!

..and then there always has to be "this guy".
Can't you just be happy for a fellow pinball enthusiast?.... Dude got three sweet pins.

I apologize to the OP for my earlier rude post. I had been drinking and Pinsiding, that's not a good thing to do. Not an excuse, that's just what happened.
Enjoy your fine pins, nice choices.
My next purchase is probably going to be a Tron, although I don't know if I can handle spending the premium they command. I've been looking at the light mod for the Tron Pro as a substitute.
Either way, damn fine haul you got there!
