Keep rubbing it in how Colorado is light years ahead of the binge drinking wife beating Midwest.
Out there you get parks & weed
Out here there's a DWI pulled over every few miles & no parks.
Stupid Colorado hippies with your Subarus & Cheeba Hut sandwiches!

Hey now we have meth and Forest Park, so don't get all boo hoo on us!! 
I am in Colorado right now as a matter of fact and they have a hell of a lot more pinball machines than Missouri as well.

Forest Park... Where doctors meet hookers.
Meth... If only casual use were possible lol
Colorado pinball... Man we got CP in the MO so we win!
Quoted from coasterguy:LOTR is staying. WOZ is staying. Metallica prem is home tonight and so far so good
Hellz yea..... Coasters back!!
I hate posts like this right now. I have a LOTR on the way. It's been sitting 4 hours away from me for 5 days now.
I'm starting to get the shakes...
Knowing my luck, it will show up with a lift truck fork hole through the cab....

Sounds like a quick pintrip is order. 
You could have it home by later this afternoon/evening.
And, yeah, we love our LOTR. Getting a couple of transistors replaced on the board today so we will be back in order. We've missed it for the last few weeks (blown flipper transistor...don't do long ball cradles as this is a known possibility which I did not realize until it happened to me).
....IMHO, the best pin ever. not sure how the nay sayers ,well, say "nay". Perhaps not knowing the tolkien series could make a slight difference but other than that , it has great shots, a great ruleset and great flow. the multi balls are awesome as well as the callouts. Can't see how it will ever leave my collection.

I wish. It's sitting at a NAVL hub. I'll get it this week.
Thanks for the heads up on the transistors!
I am beginning to get tired of my LOTR (LE). Playing it seems more of a feat of endurance than fun. Actually thinking of selling it and getting the Metallica LE that my daughter wants. Although nowhere near as deep I think that in my collection, Metallica would get more play.

I'll second that!

Quoted from justonemore:exactly, happened with my xmen, had a great game going and took what l considered a short phone cradling a ball on my left flipper. Thought l burnt up the coil but just that transistor.
Unfortunately, I too fell victim to the phone call/left flipper cradle/blown transistor. No more phone calls while playing!
Quoted from coasterguy:LOTR is staying (until I sell it next week).
WOZ is staying (until I sell it next month).
Metallica prem is home tonight and so far so good (until I trade it for my 5th TFLE).

The Getaway, TFTC, and Judge Dredd are my favorite "drunk" games.
Quoted from RobT:I thought you sold your WOZ??
Decided to keep it around for a while and see what the code becomes. I'm learning from my past not to get to quick about selling them. 
Quoted from davewtf:the movies suck.
I never watched the movies until last summer and I've never read a full book since high school. I have to say at the end of the last movie when they whistled for the dragon to pick them up. I thought, WHERE THE HELL WAS THE DRAGON 9 HOURS (movie watching time) ago. Couldn't they have just asked for a free flight from the beginning?

What dragons? You mean the Eagles?
Eagles meagles Dragon shmagons. Ya see I was so like "WTF" I forgot. In all honesty I bought the blu-ray set and watched them all in two days and they were pretty good. love the pin.

Hahaha, first and foremost, they were eagles. No worries, you're forgiven. As to why they didn't just fly Frodo in from the beginning, I've heard every reason imaginable. Let's see, there's the one about how the mission needed more stealth than the eagles could have provided, that the eagles wouldn't go near Mordor with Sauron around, that the eagles only assist with smaller matters, etc. But even as a huge fan, I have no issue admitting that they're just a device used to get them out of danger and the whole thing would have been pretty boring if they just flew the whole way in.

I bet the person who bought it was pissed!
Quoted from RobT:I bet the person who bought it was pissed!
No, it was GAP and he was absolutely cool about it. I had a deal with him for Metallica and it was very fair. When I got cold feet I was honest and just bought Metallica instead. He was very understanding about it.

LMAO!
Got my LOTR on Sunday and had a chance to play a few games Sunday night. Although I'd read the rules, there was too much going on for me to understand so it's was "so-so" as far as first impressions go.
I tweaked the settings mostly to factory, but included a ball saver and re-read the rules again.
Played a couple games yesterday and attempted to destroy the ring twice in two different games. Didn't quite finish it in either game.
Of course, I have yet to complete a single mode, or complete any of the multiballs.
One thing I love about the pin is your ability to enjoy multiballs and modes without having to complete them. Of course, if you want to reach Valinor, you do have to complete them eventually, but until then, it's simple enough to put some time in, hit a few modes, bash a balrog or two, see a couple multiballs, and still feel like you've made some headway.
The more I play and understand the rules and what's happening, the more I like it.

Love my LOTR as she sits right next to my WoZ. Love the deep rule set and call outs, follows the movies pretty dam good. However if you are going to see the movies, be sure to watch the directors extended versions, much of the storyline and material was removed from the standard movies theatre versions.
