Start off by saying I sold off my JP LE about 8 months ago and have been missing pinball in general a lot maybe because it's that much harder to go play somewhere, but I want 2 now to fill out my basement.

I'm just starting to do research again and this is what I'm thinking so far for machines I'm interested in. My top 4 have to be Elivra House of Horrors, Willy Wonka, Dialed In and a predicted new Lyman game coming up.

I thoroughly enjoy "easier" long shooters with lots of things to do as I get bored fairly easy with harder games (GotG, JP). I play a lot of Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure, White Water, Star Trek TNG, Star Trek LE, Spider-Man VE, Judge Dredd and TotAN in VPX. I know these aren't the same as regular, but I love them. So with that in mind would love peoples thoughts on a good 1, 2 punch for a starter collection.

Important note looking to buy newer machines that I can't play in VPX, so the ones listed above I'm perfectly fine keeping those in their virtual form.

Wonka and Elvira seems like a great combo. Based on playing they seem to have medium ball times for a decent player.
