Quoted from jrpinball:

Numbers alone don't equal rarity.
There were supposedly only 235 copies of Gottlieb's " Pleasure Isle" produced, but I've come across three of them myself, and know several collectors who own one. Some games produced in the thousands just don't ever appear. Some of the sixties Bally titles, for example . I realize much of this has to do with distribution, as many of these Bally titles were shipped off to.Europe.

I own a 'rare' Pleasure isle that is being restored. It's a UK import too. Its cabinet was painted in blue gloss paint so I had to sand it all off before returning it to original artwork, here is a picture of its serial number:
