Thanks Huntsolo WOZ is a beautiful game and I personally love MB but I can see it getting repetitive. I'm really hoping JJP does another run of the POTC so I can get one NIB and at a lower price too! Have you done any of the mods? I would definitely get the chest mod and some of the other cools ones from the mod couple
Quoted from Huntsolo:I have a standard Potc. Chris at Kingpin supplied (1st nib pin I bought) Looking back would I have bought a nib le or ce at that time if I had the chance yes . For being my first new game I have learned a ton on how these things work . The glass has to come off the pirates often. Balls stuck in weird spots is the most common problem I come up against . In one year my family of 4 has played 2500 games of pirates. I have rebuilt flippers and changed balls and rubbers on a regular basis . The game is a absolute masterpiece . We are very spoiled having it first . Monster bash and WOz came and went. No comparison to our pirates.
As far as JP. We have had a pro in house for a week now . It is a amazing game . In my opinion a much better game to buy as a first time pin owner and a great start to a collection . Again would I like to have a premium or limited yes. Yet in the middle of this covid mess the nib JP pro was the best option I found currently avaliable. Zack at Flip n Out made it a quick and great buying experience .
When and if JJP releases a second run of Pirates I will be buying another one for sure . Buy what you can find now and enjoy it .
The fit and finish on the JJP games are really worth the money they demand. There is a definite reason a Stern pro and a standard JJP are thousands of dollars apart.
