Nope. Sold mine to fund a Tron - best "trade" I could ever do. LOTR was a beautiful machine to look at, but I was tired of the 45 minute games. I'd destroy the ring twice in one game and still know I'd never make to Valinor. Nobody else was touching it, either, since I got a GOT LE. The dragon kicked Balrog out of the house.

PS - I just saw another post by you regretting selling an RFM. You've got to move past that feeling and learn to let stuff go if you're not using it. Otherwise, you become a hoarder. Then you wind up on a TV show, or on the evening news when the fire department couldn't get to you because of all the pins in the way.

I've been mulling this thread over throughout the day, mostly because I think I really loved my LOTR, and this thread has made me rethink why I sold it...and why I haven't even thought about it until this thread surfaced.

So I think I figured it out:

I really regret selling my Super Chexx, which I bought NIB and loved to play. Problem was, nobody would play it with me. So I begrudgingly let it go and replaced it with an ACDC premium in the spot where it sat. That game's so good that I haven't thought of the Super Chexx again (until this thread).

So that's the key: Find a game that you love even better than LOTR and put it in the slot where LOTR was. You won't even notice it missing anymore.

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

I guess that is part of the issue. Not sure what I'd put there. Tempting to get a DI or Alien just because they're new but I promised myself I wouldn't buy a NIB again and would wait for a pin to be out a bit so bugs can be worked out. Actually haven't given this a huge amount of thought and didn't think this thread would generate this much interest but I guess it is something we all think through when selling a pin.

Well, you've got GOT Premium/LE on your list. Why don't you get a HUO one of those and put it in that slot. My wife and son in law were HUGE fans of LOTR, but after playing GOT once, my son in law turned to me, pointed to LOTR, and said "Sell that thing." Prices on GOT are insanely low right now because people just don't know how great it is, and how lasting it is in a collection.

Quoted from VolunteerPin:

Funny you say that. Toyed with GOT many times but in some ways I like the pro version better even though here have been some great deals on LEs. I only have maybe 10-15 games or less on each so been wishy-washy (if that isn't already obvious )

Don't listen to the vocal minority. The pro, while fun, is missing half the game.

I would buy the back glass just for the penis.
