Quoted from DefDumBlindKid:Ive got a little money for a new addition to my collection, and I’m wondering which direction I should go in. Which has better long term prospects, ie, value, playability, etc. a near mint Kiss LE or very nice Fathom?
Would love to hear some opinions before plopping down the chunk of change. Right now I’m leaning Fathom.
THanks for the input, guys!
Wow, interesting thread . The choice of the pinball machine are so different . I have Fathom on my wish list because it is so collectable and beautiful . I however have a collectors mentality as well and that is one reason it is on my wish list . The reality is I am not a fan of that era of pinball machine game play wise .However I have played Fathom and it was the most fun pinball from that era I have ever played IMO. It is more of a passion of the collectability of Fathom that interest me .
I also Just played a KISS pro . And I loved the gameplay and music so much I went on a search for a KISS LE for the extra Bling Red armor full added 16 RGB inserts .Drop targets. Choreography of the GI lighting effects . Love Gun Multi ball levitate feature so cool. And the Kiss LE Gene Toy physical pinball lock which holds 3 pinball versus the pro that uses a virtual lock and spits the pinball out every time you shot Gene head . I found the Pro Gene toy not as good as the KISS LE for cheap drains .
I vote KISS Limited Edition it is a buyers market and it is one of my favorite pinball ever .
This is my reasoning for voting KISS Limited Edition over Fathom
Reality They are both very desirable pinball machines . Good luck .
