Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this. I have a WOZLE and a preorder for THLE. I would like to get another pin before the Hobbit is released. Any suggestions? Most interested n a family game as I have a 6 year old girl that loves the WOZ. I was thinking about Shrek. I owned a Revenge from Mars when it was first released so was honking about that for nostalgia purposes. Appreciate your thoughts on a second game or if I should post this somewhere else. Thanks for any hel/guidance.

CV would be a great pick, but is a high priced pin.

Appreciate it. Will take a look. Any thoughts on Attack/Revenge from Mars or a Shrek? I just got back into pins. What about the MM Remake even though I may want something sooner.

I'd pick RFM over AFM due to price. Both are very fun.

Creature from the Black lagoon maybe a great family fit, with the drive in theme, and old horror movie!

Shrek is a lot of fun and guests seem to be drawn to it for some reason. I think it is a great family oriented machine. It is a nice goofy break from more seriously themed pins. Shrek is fairly uncommon though.

Shrek is a great pin, lots of family appeal. If you like RFM, that might be an easy fit, as it has a lower price and you already have a good feel for it (unless you sold it because you got bored). Whatever you decide, your getting another pin

Get a Whirlwind, Funhouse, or TOM. They are all easy for a kid to play with some decent toy action.

I also vote for RFM. One of the most advanced pins ever made. Great theme; great humor; top level game play and music. You can still get one at a decent price too. RFM all the way.

White Water & World Cup Soccer 94 are both great family games.

I agree with those who recommend Pirates of the Caribbean. It is a theme that kids know and can relate to and kids love trying to sink the ship. Also, the adults can have plenty of fun with this pin too. Good luck with your choice!

Royal rumble, best bang for the buck, should be a $2500 pin......Widebody, shaker motor, 2 scoops, upper playfield, 6 ball multi-ball, 7 drop-down targets, 6 stand up targets, great lyman sheet's rules...can't get enough...
Grab it if you can people...

PoTC, TSPP or JP. Haven't seen a kid yet that doesn't like to watch that T-Rex eat the ball.
