    After buying and selling for about 5 years I've concluded that for me theme comes first. It doesn't matter how fun a pin is, if the theme isn't for me then I don't enjoy it. WOZ was a very fun pin to play but the theme wasn't for me so I sold it. Good theme plus boring gameplay doesn't work either. It has to have both for me. STTNG was my #1 theme of all time but I didn't enjoy playing it, my wife and kids didn't either so we sold it.

    Read what I wrote again. I said that it has to have both - THEME plus gameplay that I enjoy. If it doesn't have both it gets sold. These things are just too expensive to collect dust and not get played. Just my 2 cents.
