Wish I had your problem dude. LOTR is the one I would choose to compliment your line-up!

TSPP if you can't bring LOTR in....You need something with crazy depth.

I'd go STTNG or IJ. Great mode games and something different.

How long have you had CSI? I just added it to my small collection (SM, LOTR and Future Spa) and it is the perfect compliment so far. In time, though, trading it for a FGY or POTC or Avatar or BBH would be something I might look to do.

Maybe you could score a TF pro?

TZ is such a fun game and getting lost in zone is a blast

I have bought many games based on the opinions of other pinheads on forums, and I have found that I have liked all that I have bought. If you do not like one, you have the security of selling it, so go for one that offers something you like.

You can look at the bang for buck list and get an idea of what that sum will buy you, but for the money and depth offered, TSPP and LOTR would be sure bets as others have mentioned. If you needed to feel that you completed a game after playing, both may frustrate you. If you aspects of a game without needed to "beat" it, then either would be a great choice. POTC is a very good game.

You might could find a very nice Shadow or Whitewater if they offer enough depth. TZ and TOM you might find in good enough condition to satisfy your wife.

Agree with Robertmee on adding TSPP (for another Stern), perhaps BBH, WOF, or IM--but you might consider adding some B/W titles, too.

With $4500 to spend, perhaps some titles like: WH2O, CFTBL, TZ, STTNG, NGG, BSD, TS, HSII, FT, or a CV (perhaps a bit more required on that one; perhaps not).

All fun titles.

Good luck in your search!

I'd get either TSPP, IJ, STTNG, or CFTBL.

I'd personally pass on TSPP. Owned it and while very cool depth wise, game felt toyish and if not into theme so much - pass. STTNG is one to look closer into. Own POTC and great family & friends theme, one I do bore of time to time.

I think the best bang for your buck going right now is a TF. They are very under rated right now and some people are dumping them at low prices to get rid of them.
Its a beautiful game and fun to play. I was able to pick up a TF Decepticon with less than 20 plays on it and FF speakers installed for only $4900. It was even shipped in the orginal box so it was same as new to me.

To me , a TF LE in that $5000 price area is a no brainer for some one wanting same as NIB games in there collection and by the way, if you do add a TF to your collection, you have to get the FF speakers, they make that pin rock.
