Hello!

I have two pinball machines, jackbot and BoP. Just happened to be so. My first was jackbot that I bought more or less at random since I wanted a pinball machine. Only thing I had decided was I wanted a DMD machine with multiball and some cool theme. When I found jackbot I bought it. Then I bought BoP. Was looking for a machine to restore and it just happened to be the second of the pinbot series. I had it on my want list too but never thought it would be my next one.

Now for the question. I am planning to keep these two since I really like them but I wonder if its worth looking for the original pinbot too? I mean its not that different from JB playfield wise and the gameplay is rather similar except for the deeper rules of JB etc. so for me to play it does not feel too important to get but collection wise it seem to be a good idea. Would be nice to have all three. Also in the future if I need money maybe all three would be worth more together.
What do you guys think? Try to get pinbot to complete the series or just let it be and focus on something more fun to play. Subjective but anyway.. My collection won't be huge since I have limited room so maybe a total of 6-10 machines is what I imagine I could stack before its enough =)

Allright!

Ive been thinking the same, would be more worth (to me) to get something else than pinbot. Even thought it would be nice to have all three. If i stumble across one cheap i might get it but i wont be looking for it actively. First i need to get the BoP working and then i want another restoration project. Does not matter what, i wanna repair! =) then sell it and maybe get something i really want.

Thanks for sharing your opinions!
