    I don't have fatigue, but I get why people do.

    I still get excited for new releases. I'm grateful pinball is thriving and there are so many new games coming out.

    I remember when Williams shut down and Stern seemed to be barely hanging on and I was glad they hung around long enough to give us LOTR and TSPP. At the time I thought at least we have 2 more great titles to add to pinball world before new pins stop getting made. Fast forward to today and there's so many great games that have been made since 2003.

    I brought my first machine home in my early 20's in 2004. I'm used to the price increases, although they have been pretty dramatic the last 3-4 years. I kind of pace myself and never really feel pressure to get something. I know what I like and I'm pretty picky about getting new games. I don't buy and sell a lot, but I'm not afraid to move something along if I don't like it.

    I'm about to the point where unless I buy or build a building I'm going to have to sell something to get something...so space is an issue. I'll figure something out at that point.

    Quoted from iloveplywood:

    Until I added my second pin I never really understood how people could sell games with less then 500 plays on a machine. Now, even with two I start to feel badly about not having enough time to play them. With 13 pins I could see never getting bored of your pins because you only have so much time to play them and consequently noping out on the NIB experience. Especially with your amazing collection it is hard to imagine that adding a newer pin is going to enhance it that much.
    In conclusion, I'm starting to think that three is the perfect sized collection . . . yes, three is the perfect number and I'll be satisfied from that point on.

    I actually agree that 3 is the perfect size collection in a sense. You just have to rotate them in and out a lot...which I don't like doing.

    I'm up to 19 now, but I'm generally only playing 3 at a time. I mix up the 3 I'm playing, so I never really burn out on a game.
