I want your opinion to help me pick my next pin! If you’ve got a minute, tell me why I should or shouldn’t get a pin. Should I buy NIB used? I need your advice. If you choose other, please comment

My local pinball spot Uptown Pinball has Wizard of Oz, Walking Dead Prem and Game of Thrones Le. On feee play. Great options, but no need to buy when I can play them there.

I played MMR a few nights ago and I really enjoyed it. I think it’s priced a little too high but it is a fantastic game. AFMR looks awesome as well and it’s a little cheaper than MMR. I do personally believe that MMR might be the better game though.

I agree, I own both MMR and AFMR SE. Both are GREAT but the edge goes to MMR. At the end of the day though, you cant go wrong with the CGC remakes as they build a great game, stand behind it and have support that is second to NONE in the industry.

Agree, they make a quality game for sure.

Quoted from Buzz:Get a POTC it's a good pin and the layout is unique, fun, and challenging. Plus sinking the ship is very cool. Then add a shaker motor and the game really comes alive. You should add one to your STNG it really makes a difference.
All depends what you like.... I notice a lack of early ss games or even an em. Not interested? Or just haven’t had an opportunity? I love early ss games myself, but that may be nostalgia talking.
Quoted from ZMeny:Get you a used jjp if money is not an option.
I think I know a guy who’s got some of these pins for sale......
I would get out and play a DI LE. Really fun game which has that original B/W feel but with a current feel to it. Solid rules, tons of interesting shots and toys; and just a blast to play.
Personally I found the theme less to be about a cell phone & more a disaster themed game.
Whatever you choose, I would suggest getting out and playing the pin beforehand.
There are some other awesome choices on your list like MM, AFM & LOTR. In particular, the AFMR LE looks beautiful.

The OP has a good range of titles in his collection already, that span an era or two and have different depths and mix of shots. So with that in mind, I think I'd want something different and modern, therefore striking the remakes/vaults as well as LOTR. They're all great, I own an MMR and love AFMR, but I'd be looking for an LCD game.
And because I don't care much for TH (personal taste), that leaves SW and DI: two games that seem to instill pretty divisive opinions. Obviously, play them and see which you prefer. I like my SW, some people rant about DI. That being said, I think TNA might be something to look at for greater variety in your collection.
Really, whatever you get off that list (or TNA), you can't go wrong. Enjoy
Of the ones you've listed, I'd go with either Medieval Madness or Star Wars. I haven't played Dialed In yet, so I can't comment on that one - though I've heard it's excellent.
With MM, you've got arguably the best game ever made. Star Wars just got a great code update, and is arguably the fastest game out there. I play my Premium more than any other game in my collection. Much like TWD, it took a lot of flack early on, but is quickly shaping up to be one of Stern's best.
Quoted from o-din:Use the money to buy a bunch of power ball tickets, and when you win, buy them all!
Great idea!! That would be amazing, I would buy every pin ever made. Put them into a huge warehouse and put them all on free play for everyone to enjoy!! and free beer and pizza for everyone too!
I think Guardians is making its way onto my radar. Plenty going on the playfield. Good shots. Good soundtrack. Liking the display and the whole package.
how about you let fate decide and buy the next thing that is a screaming deal that's close to you? This way you get some variety. Open yourself up to something that isn't NIB and enjoy the decade of fruits that pinball has offered. Most of the pinball collecting experience isn't about NIB. Never was until very very recently.

Haven’t played it yet! I do like the movies, well I liked the First movie. The second was kinda strange to me.

Quoted from Coz:Great idea! I have never bought new in box and I may never buy NIB. I’ve finally saved up enough money to buy 1 really nice NIB or a few lesser titles. I’m excited, it’s like new car shopping!!
buying a game that's only 6 months old is like buying NIB. Only difference is, you don't have to find a spot for the box.

But I want a box to destroy like waspinatOr did when he got GotG. Just joking, I don not need to have a NIB, but it would be nice to experience a brand new pin!!
Quoted from chubtoad13:You should buy my SMVE. I’ll meet you half way so the drive doesn’t kill you.
But seriously I voted SW. I love it.
Make me a deal... or Want to trade? Pm me
Quoted from Coz:I think I know a guy who’s got some of these pins for sale......
I think so too 
Quoted from Coz:New option: trade 3 for 1
Demolition Man, NBA Fastbreak, Star Trek the Next Generation
Trade all three for original Medieval Madness
Sound good???
I wouldn't do that trade but I understand the desire to.
Quoted from pcprogrammer:I wouldn't do that trade but I understand the desire to.
The trade is with a friend, so I can go play them anytime. I’m still gonna get another new pin, what else do you think I should get?

That works out great then. My wife and kids want a GOT Premium. We've played it on location and they liked it a lot. We like fast pins, iron man is pretty high on our list too.
