I'm a little leery posting this with all the massive collections out there, but hey it's mine! I've been working at this a while and this afternoon I kinda decided, hell, I'm good! So this is my detached garage. I've modded the T2 to the hilt, (why not)? The LOTR is finished. I don't think there's a mod thats not on it. (I have a sickness). The FT - fast fun and loud. There's a 12' Cerwin Vega sub that makes the whole place shake. There is a NF on the way. I've got three sons and that's there favorite.

Trust me: Your collection is never finished. In a few weeks or a few months, you will get the idea to add another pin to your collection. You may even relegate the foos ball table to a storage area (like I did) or sell off the slot machine (like I did). There's plenty of space in your fantastic game room for more pins.

It's easy to let your collection feel small or 'not as good' compared to some of the collections out there. Rest assured you have an incredible setup and it looks like a great place to hang out and have a beer. I'm jealous!

I don't care about big or small your collection of pins is, I think your mancave looks fantastic. The pins are in great shape and really shine. One of those ones you can get with some buddies and enjoy that room. Congratulations Sir!

The fridge was was a cl deal. Out of a 7-11 remodel. I love it. Thanks for the comments. Its cool when somebody comes over for the first time and I open the garage door. With having 3 sons I wanted to have the place the neighborhood kids hang out. Rather have them here than out on the street. Well anyways I think I've started a teenage pinball renaissance around here. Theres lines to play them some nights.

Most of the guys here seem to have 10 -15 games, mostly A list stuff. Its taken me the better part of 3 years to get here. I seems a lot of guys move a lot of titles. I just sold my first pin, and I regret it. So every new pin has to be saved for.

Yeah, the game room is fantastic! Forget how many games. Atmosphere adds a lot to the fun of pinball, and you have that in spades.....and hearts and diamonds and clubs.

Duke,
I have had many, and I miss them all.
They're like children...
Can't wait to get rid of them when they're there,
Can't live without them when they're not...

I'm sorry to have to inform you that a pinball collection is never finished or complete. Collecting never ends, after some time you will feel the need to add another pinball machine, even if you don't have room. This part of the disease is worse than your blinging disease.

You have an excellent room for fun.

Nice setup for sure and it's not always about the quantity of games but the amount of enjoyment the quantity brings you. Oh and like the others have said your collection is never complete, it's always evolving.

Was in a band when I was a kid. Still do an acoustic open mic once in a while,(it's s painful experience), the bass is from a long, long time ago. Stop by and I'll bore you with the story.

Sweet!!! Looks great to me, really like the Fish Tales! Think yours is small......I've really only room for two pins and I've never had more than that at any time unless one was on it's way out........SO BE HAPPY
