I started my hobby with one pin, then sold it because I wanted more machines, arcade machines. And I regretted selling the pin right away because an arcade machine just doesn't hold your attention over a long period of time like a pin does. I ended up going thru a lot of arcade machines, only to sell them off to get back the one first pin I had...a DE Star wars. I still have arcade machines...a tron, sw upright, dk, and a mk. Those 4 games are the only 4 games that have nostalgia for me. But pins are way funner in the long run!
