Hey everyone. Looking for some thoughts on which direction you all think I should take. Here's the situation.

I have room for one NIB purchase this year. This will probably be all that's in the cards this year. Yet the rumours are running rampant on what's up next in Stern vault land. Not long ago I had both a Tron and LOTR which I had to move because of a work relocation that ended up being an awful experience. I loved both of these pins for different reasons, and in hindsight I should have probably tried to keep both in storage. If a vault of either of these comes up, I'll probably be a bit upset if I don't have the cash to fund a NIB on either. Especially LOTR, I didn't realize how much of a gem this game is until it was gone.

So here's where I'm at. I currently have a Star Trek Pro which is a great game. Im on a list with a local distributor if a MMR LE comes up. So now it's time to talk about my medieval madness addiction. Ive played this game to death on pinball arcade and would love the opportunity to have a NIB in my collection of the remake. This game does not tire to me, I could hit those ramps and bash the castle all day long. This game is epic. But this being said, would then hate to bite on this only to have LOTR vault be confirmed shortly after. As I 'can' get my fix on this game through pinball arcade.

So here is my question. Should I bite the bullet on a sure thing if a MMRLE comes up for sale. Or do I pass on the hopes that one of the games I've loved and really want back in my collection is one of the next vaults? If iron man is any indication these will be limited and tough to get NIB if I dont pull the trigger almost immediately once announced. I can probably get a MMR NIB for a while after (standard) if I wait. But I would hate to pass on MMR only for stern to not release a vault of either Tron or LOTR this year.

Wish I had a crystal ball here. Would hate to wait only to not be able to purchase any of these NIB.

Not worried about the machine losing money, just worried about not having the funds if say I pull the trigger on MMR and then a vault edition comes up. With that being said, yeah, I could always look at nice HUO, especially down the road if I miss out on a vault. The market on nice HUO in western Canada sucks though, it's tough to find good games with the right pricing. I think it's the NIB allure that has me right now.

Gonna go with MMR and then see what the rest of the year brings. Thanks for the input.
