To me its a head scratcher. I liked the game right from the start, but did not like it enough to buy it. Its a good game, but it might be the most over hyped game on pinside. When I look at my own collection and realize I would have to sell my mintish JP and SST + cash to buy an IM..... Well its just not that good to me. If its a rarity coveting situation, my SST fills that need, and I prefer it anyway.

And thats ok. I feel that way about a lot of pins (just one more game) I have just never felt the game is worth paying over 4k let alone 5.5k, YMMV

Based on the OPs collection I would pic a different game per price is all I'm saying.

Also, you liking the game may not have anything to do with the rarity, but it does the price point. I like IM a lot, but there are a bunch of other games that are better than it for less money, so I can't justify buying it.

Then there is that awkward moment I realize I'm having a price point / fun / rarity debate with a dude who has MM, IM, TH, and RHZA listed in his collection.

IM is a good game though.
