If you don't pick it up, or rather decide to pass becuase it's not booting.......let me know. I'm not sure on the price but it's on my hit list...

Yeah, the ball walker is awesome. Game plays really fast on emulator, and you know we've got a thing for widebody games lol... would be a good fit for variety in your collection. These old sterns are a lot of fun and usually have something out of the ordinary vs. other games from the era.

Well...if you buy it and change your mind, you know you've got a very likely buyer nearby LOL. We are making room for a 4th game.. Sending you a PM..

Do want.

No fair, you live too close! For the likely price, you can put a CPR PF in that baby and still come out way ahead.

I hope you made it home without hitting a bump or tight curve.

I will never forget this thread. Take the legs off, man. :/ http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/mint-lotr-now-crushedwaaaah

http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/23R-35-128 I really wanted to find a way to get this, but it's around 15 hours away. I'd have had it shipped but thems the breaks. I'd consider sending some profit your way to ship it! I'd redo the playfield.

At any rate, that is where it is available. Looks like a fun, challenging game.

Wait, so how the hell did Shimoda know about this? DId he tip you off on it or what?

And yeah, if I get my hands on this, at some point, it's getting a CPR playfield. Hell, I'd even consider doing it for a fee if Bakushan wanted just because I want to see this stupid thing with one in it. I tried to buy one of the artboard prints from their recent auction and decided it was just too much to pay for wall art when they went over 100 bucks.

Re: Marco - Key words "new production"....it's a CPR repro. Marco, and likely nobody else, would have a NOS playfield approaching anything as "cheap" as 600 bucks.

I was just saying that if you wanted to go to the lengths to buy a CPR playfield and (I would hope?) plastics set, that I would be willing to do the swap...for a price. As I'm sure other locals like Keith Holbrook etc prob would too. Shuttle was probably more complicated than that thing, due to the huge matrix of lights in the middle of the playfield. I'm not attempting to persuade you to go either way. A lot of people don't want to play these older games on clear, and that's a valid argument. Space Shuttle just felt WIERD after the playfield swap. And the cost of doing a PF swap correctly is a lot more than just the PF itself.

I knew about this as well... It's on my want list.

It was advertised on the Bash

It was indeed offered on the Bash, and I think it should come to my house. I literally would have shipped the game from her. However, 6 miles versus closer to 1000 miles or more is a bit of distance.

What is 'the Bash'? (Quick googling didn't answer me, so I thought it was easier to just ask.)

Thank you.

Well......learn something new every day. Clearly I have not been diligient enough in my trolling!!

I was actually being serious. I would have done the PF swap first, and waited a bit on the rest. Like I said, 1000 miles is a bit of a drive to make on the spur of the moment. If it had been 6 I would have had it in my Element before the pixels announcing it filled my screen, unless someone was 5 miles away!

As is, congratulations. I'm sure you will have a great time with it. Seems like it could be a great pin.

$1500 for a restored one sounds good Let me know when it's done haha

Man, you seriously need to go back to school and f...learn to read...

"Marco, and likely nobody else, would have a NOS playfield approaching anything as "cheap" as 600 bucks."

KEY WORD: MARCO.

Where the F--- does that say anything about ME, Jared? Seriously!? No, I probably would do it for 200-300 bucks, but consider that offer closed after that moronic statement...why don't you go ask Evan or Keith how much they'd charge to do it...because it probably IS around 400-600.

Dude lighten up.

I bought one in the last few months for around $1700 with a new CPR playfield already on it, brand new had not been played. Backglass was 7/10 and plastics 9/10. It was worth it and I knew I was paying a premium but basically it was for the new playfield and labor to swap it. And I'm building my collection so figure I'll keep for a long time, so the extra premium was worth it.
