Hey I was thinking the other day it would be easy and cool to put together collections based around themes. Like space, sports, rock bands and so on. Does anyone have a collection like this they would like to show off? Love to see them!

I’ve got an EHOH and Rob Zombie, so two of my six are horror themed I guess. I also have a Close Encounters which could count as horror in a pinch. I’m always looking at horror type pins. Wish someone would make a pure horror pin!
Once in a while I theme pinball rooms in my house. Sometimes all the music pins will be in one section of the house. But overall I move stuff around.
I have seen a few themed sets of pinball, but it always struck me that it really locks in the pins. And I love me some variety.
Quoted from jaytrem:I'm up to 8 Coaster pins.
That’s awesome. I never really considered coasters to be a hot pin theme for some reason even though it makes obvious sense. I also forgot about EMs. Nice collection. Congrats.
I collected mostly horror titles for a long time. I did finally start branching out more after having owned most of the horror games I really liked. There's still a few of the more rare ones I never managed to snag, but would love to own some day. There totally needs to be more straight horror (not rock n roll, tongue in cheek, cartoony, etc) themes. The only three I can think of from the last 30 years are BSD, MC and TWD.
Still have:
America's Most Haunted
Scared Stiff
The Walking Dead
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Mystery Castle
Ghostbusters (custom)
Owned in the past:
Class of 1812
Tales from the Crypt
Elvira and the Party Monsters
Ghostbusters (Stern)
Monster Bash
Rob Zombie
Quoted from Betelgeuse:I collected mostly horror titles for a long time.
I love your collection. All the same pins I’d like to have. What’s the custom Ghostbusters?
My heavy metal/rock and roll collection consists of......
Black Knight SOR
Iron Maiden
Metallica
KISS
AC/DC
Aerosmith
JJP GnR on order and will be getting Zeppelin when it comes out, love the music pins
Quoted from Krupps4:I love your collection. All the same pins I’d like to have. What’s the custom Ghostbusters?
Thanks, man! The GB is a custom/re-theme from 2011 with a full movie soundtrack, quotes and sound effects. It was featured at PAPA in 2012.

That’s really sweet! Really really cool. I’m sure it givens the Stern GB a run for its money and then some. Thanks for sharing.
My main collection theme is “oddities and novelty games” and the sub-theme is games everyone loves to hate
Most of them really surprise people who play them! Of course I have branched into “traditional” territory with Seawitch.
But yeah, I love the odd novelty games that people look at and ask “when did they make THAT?!”
Quoted from SuperPinball:I created a section of space theme classics.

I was hoping someone had a space themed collection, it was the first one that came to my mind. Nice!
