Pinball Dealbreakers: I will not buy a pin that...

OMG... this kept me from getting a pin this year. Finally found a decent price Jurassic Park but the guy was an ass. I wasn't about to drive 5 hours to pick one up from a guy that refused to send detailed play-field pictures and said to "bring some Mexicans" because it's upstairs.

What about a pin ‘that doesn’t physically exist and is playable yet’.

Might have saved a fair few some heartache.......

Definitely a rule of mine.

I will not buy a pin that is on fire. I will however buy a pin that smells like cat piss.

I have bought a cat piss smelling pin. Repainted inside & out and it's fresh as a daisy now.

Quoted from chuckwurt:
Examples?

Games with bad voices:
-X-Men: ShittyBeast & ShreikyStorm.
-Walking Dead: Stern Redneck.
-GOTG: A boballee bobo. A boballee bo...and all the other horrible fake voices that don’t match the license.
-Deadpool: Deadpool sounds like Rocket SHOULD in GOTG.
-Spider-Man Vault: Really all the Marvel games that don’t have movie clips/real actors completely suck.
-24: Chloe’s custom call outs are awful.
-Transformers: Fake Optimus mixed with real Optimus movie clips is unacceptable.
-IJ4: Fake Sean Connery is awful.
-BDK: All the fake voices are bad, but the “crikey me tea & crumpets” Alfred & “hello there!” Lucius are truly egregious. For some reason Scarecrow sounds how Batman should.

The only thing to keep me from buying a pinball machine, is an autograph written on it and it cannot be removed.

i won't buy a pin: that has crap/ramps that cover 40% of the playfield.

i won't buy a pin: when it sucked azz 10 years ago, at 20%+/- of today's asking price.

i won't buy a pin: new in box. everyone else can beta-test it. i'll take it after 2 years when it bottoms out with market value, cuz the new shiny toy is announced.
