PIMPIN' ain't easy......as they say. I like the patina games get over the years....cabs get dinged, scratched, and marked up....adds character. That being said I'd buy a pimped out version over an original version of a pin I was seeking anyday of the week. The newer looking and cleaner games are....the happier I am as a buyer.
