I've had friends over a couple times now that have mentioned " changing the lineup" ( order games are setup, not new titles) would get more play on some machines, and might give all the titles a new "feel" , not being in the same spot.
So before I go through the hassle, has anyone done this? Now that I have BM66LE, I'd like to drag my SM next to it, and then IM, making a " super hero" mini line.
Curious of pinsiders input, as surely I'm not the first to think about it.....mark
Quoted from LTG:Easier to get different friends.
Especially if anything needs work or tweaking after the move.
LTG : )
Classic Lloyd at your best!!! Common sense should always prevail (I kind of wanted to try, but I've blamed being too lazy...I like your response better...who needs friends anyway).... 
Quoted from krivoap:then by size to squeeze in one more game...
This reasoning I've definitely used in the past ( actually been doing some measuring for Alien, as my Son refuses to part with the stupid basketball free throw game....a perfect spot!!!).
Quoted from Allibaster:Are they on carpet?
Those carpet sliders you can get at Home Depot make moving pins super easy. Makes nudging more fun, too!
Actually on tile in the main room, then concrete in game room ( converted garage). The rooms are connected ( same level, separated by 1 door) so may not be horrible, but they're pretty tight...
Quoted from jfh:However, I have a pinlifter dolly that made the job a whole lot easier.
Think that's the only way I'm going to do it...if I do....what about those "pinskates" looking things that MARCO sells? Do they work ok? Looks like they'd be easier to store than the dolly ( take up less floor space, my shop isn't that big)
Quoted from Rondogg:Doesn't matter how you arrange it. Still the nicest collection in the SE imho.
Thanks Ron...you're welcome back anytime!!!
Quoted from pinballaddicted:We think that it is definitely worth the trouble. We moved ours around again last night! It is all part of the fun!
I think there in lies the challenge....no " we" for me...a solo effort if I did it....wait!!!....maybe those " friends" that suggested it could help.... 
Quoted from cottonm4:I bought a bunch of hardwood floor sliders.
You can buy a set of four $10.00. Give them a try.
I've got all mine on the rubber feet protectors....gotten used to the " solid" feel of the rubber on the tile for nudging, but for $10.00, might give them a try....
Quoted from pinballaddicted:Yes, very lucky there. Pinball is my wife s passion too. Makes life and decisions very easy!
A lucky man you are indeed....I have a wife but she has no interest in the hobby ( but supports my enjoyment of them, so a win there)
Quoted from arcademojo:Since I have more games then room I usually rearrange my lineup every 6 months. But that's bringing different games in and games out. But i also like to rearrange my lineup every now and then with the same games. Kinda show case a few.
Whew!!!....you are definitely an enthusiast....owning that many machines makes me tired just thinking about it....can barely keep up w my 10....pretty awesome!!!
Quoted from jfh:Pin skates are one of the first things I bought when I got into the hobby - simple, easy and fast. And of course they are less expensive than a dolly and take up a lot less room to store. They work great. I don't have the Marco ones, but they look similar.
This was my thought...
Quoted from SealClubber:Its only 10 games, and how many do you really have to move? IMO, yes. It is bothering you enough to ask others the question.
Not really bothering me, just weighing opinions on " is it worth the effort?"
You're right though...in this case, to gain my " superhero" line, I only have to move 3, and slide 2 down. Biggest pita would be Spidey, as it's under the stairs, and took time to get it in there. Undercab lighting on all of them, so the pinskates might be the safest way, as I don't want to smash any LEDs ( to Lloyds point).
Quoted from ectobar:You could open it up for lineup suggestions.
Nice collection by the way.
What config are they in?
As for the question, I only have space for 5. Currently only at 3. Rearranging wouldn't be much of a hassle, yet I've never done it.
Ok....3 pics attached...if I move them, I propose:
Then putting IMVE next to it on the right, sliding TSPP and FGY down
This way I have Superhero corner, keep cartoon themes together, and WCS is in a more prominent area
4 in Main Room would stay the same for now....how would you arrange?
Side note- AlienLE eventually in here, sort of think the option for BM66LE, WOZ, AlienLE ( future) would make a badass LCD lineup as well
Could potentially fit five in a row, putting BM66LE in the line, but a little tighter than I like.
The spot it's in now was my original saved AlienLE spot, so the lit side panels would be exposed....
I know...like I told Greg ( Rarehero)...or I could just get a life .....beyond work, kids and pinball
Quoted from robotron:such a burden moving all those pins
Nah....pure laziness vs. potential enjoyment is my curiosity ( laziness winning right now)
Quoted from Skyemont:When I posted the pic I saw that. Ran into the game room and fixed it.
Too funny!!! I break out the tape measure to make sure my spacing is consistent....thought I was the only one, but obviously, in good company!!!!!
( I think Lloyds upvotes are neck and neck with the "yes" posts...I created an internal poll!!!)...
Quoted from Butterflygirl24:They're going to be swapping some positions around here soon to make room for a new pin family member!!
Phoebe
The best reason to move them around, imho!!!
Well...I'm close to my rearranging project...too stubborn to let any go, and prepping for 2 deadly additions ( the best reason to rearrange).....and I've gotta get the bat beacon large on a side wall, somehow...
Quoted from Jenk540i:MK6PIN: (Looks like you're fairly close to me, have to let me know if you'd be interested in joining a few of us in the area with about the same size collections to play sometime.)
Just realized I didnt respond to this just now!!!(
Yes, we have to get together at some point...my work schedule is weird). Also just saw someone downvoted my first post in the thread..even weirder?!?
