Avengers x3 have kept the third one. HulkLE and pristine.
X-Men Magneto LE very under rated game.
Pinball Magic x 2 just sold it again yesterday!
TWDLE x 2 well premium first then updated to LE after I missed it. Great but brutal at times game.

I have had pinbot, genesis, and xenon at least 5 times each over the years. Several others pretty close to that amount. I would own all of those again and probably will someday

Rollergames 2x currently own
Flintstones 2x currently own. Really enjoy both and they'll probably stay this time around

Funhouse 3x No
NBA Fastbreak 2x No
Game Show 2x Yes 1

I may be listing my pinbot soon and it's very nice.

Space Shuttle x 3 -- last one was so termite eaten, I scrapped it. I suppose you could say I still own 'parts' of it. I generally don't scrap a game if it has a good backglass and playfield. This one had neither.
Pin-bot x 2 -- This is one of my favorite system 11 games. I may own it again some day.
Alien Poker x 2 -- I didn't go out and seek these games, they just happen end up in my shop at the same time.

Been in this hobby for 5 years only and have flipped these titles over and over
Really only regretted selling and thankfully replacing my Kiss Le (found another now), Iron Maiden Premium (bought another 2 months later) and GOTGLe (my wife loves that game)

I appreciate that. Honestly though, the only way to get a good deal in pinball is to just buy them when you see them. I’ve had well over a hundred games and lost money on exactly one. It was also the only game that I ever actively sought out to buy

Ok... I have to know...what pin was it??

Super Mario Brothers. My little boy “had to have one” I was the only one to ever play it though and when I finally got rid of if I lost a couple hundred on it. No worries though. I was never in this for money and just love to pick up new games, clean them up, play them, and then trade those off for other new games. A vicious cycle lol

I feel you on that one. I am a HUGE Mario fan. I own every Nintendo console ever made, including Japanese versions and various color versions...and I have every Mario game as well. It is the #1 most disappointing theme vs gameplay pin I have ever encountered (followed closely by star wars). I long for a Zelda or mariokart...but it will probably never happen

3X Twilight Zone and yes.
3X Captain Fantastic and no.
Would take forever on the doubles. lol.

Looks nice but boring. I could repeat the death star shot for days on end. Not deep enough for me. Too sparse.

The only one I have ever owned twice was ngg. I missed it after I traded it and the opportunity was there to get another and I enjoyed it for a few months but got bored of it fast and traded it again. I am always hesitant to get one I have owned in the past when there is still so many I have never owned.

wildertronix is just finishing a Zelda game. Maybe he'd build another one to sell?

3x AFM (AFMrSE, AFM, AFMLE) - Do not currently own
2x Pinbot -Do not currently own
2x JP (Pro, Premium)-Do not currently own
2x Whirlwind- Currently own

This is not counting stuff I've loaned out on temporary trade and gotten back (STTNG, TZ, DP)

2X IMDN

LE and now Premium. Only sold my LE because I was offered crazy money (at the time) for it.

I have owned or shopped out no less than 5 copies of GTB Solar City. Currently have one as a parts machine.

EM’s aren’t as easy to find as they once where. Regret passing on Solar City the times I had the opportunity. Been hell bent on getting El Dorado.

I restored and enjoyed a Target Alpha before selling it. Now have a Gold Strike and complete repro parts awaiting my time and attention.

Great layout - I love all 5 of Gottlieb's (North American) variations with it!

A bunch of x 3 - 5s, and probably still have at least one of each,
but I'm thinking the top 2 are Dimension x 13 - 15 now down to 3,
and Gold Strike 13 - 15 now down to 1

I know a guy who is on his 4th SFII.

That guy has problems. Gift him a therapist for Christmas.

Lionman!!!

x3 BK2K
x2 JM

I swear these two get passed around more than a hot dish at thanksgiving, or perhaps, the finest of whore.

Fire Power 3x. Twice was the same physical machine. Do not currently own.

So here we are on Space Shuttle number 3. My first ever machine was a Space Shuttle, so the title holds some meaning to me. The current one I have is in the best shape of the 3, with a hardtop installed. I may be keep this one for a while.

2 x Roadshow
2 x Road Kings
2 x Buccaneer ( em)

All gone
