Quoted from rennervision:I would just like to point out there's no law that states you have to own "X" number of pinball machines before you get a Safe Cracker. I see people saying this all the time like it's one of the sacred rules to pinball collecting. The criteria should actually be: (A) Do you enjoy it? (B) Do you have the space for it?
THere isn't a law, but novelty games like this, you don't want taking up valuable pin space if you have a smaller collection. yes they are fun to own for something different, but there are many games like this, that the novelty wears off quickly.

for example. Great games and fun for what they are, due to very unique characteristics, but if you only have room for 4 games, you don't want either of these, as they will get old very very fast. that's why people state usually a 10 pin limit. I would say more like 15 pins, personally, because if you have room for 10, you only have 9 and a novelty pin, 9 isn't a lot of diversity yet.
