I'm going to give the other side and no offense meant to Chosen_S. Just presenting another viewpoint.
I would pass.
You're looking at almost $1,200 for a blown out game. Getting a nice one, I'm told (see my post above) is about $2,500. Playfields aren't available and I doubt it will be repro'd in a while. So if you are fortunate enough to find a playfield it's going to be $1,000 or more. So now you are at $2,200 plus a ton of work. Personally, I'd rather pay $2,500, set it up, and start enjoying the game.
Pass and put a post for WTB ad for Robowar. There was a buy willing to bring one to Allentown. I saw that in the Allentown buy/see thread.
Good luck!
