Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:I have the budget and space for one machine at the moment. I have the opportunity to buy a lightly used Stern Star Trek Pro from a friend or a freshly refurbished Jurassic Park at $3,500 each.
Star Trek Pro:
Pro: Deeper Ruleset, Wife Loves Theme, Great Sound, Replay Value, Great Deal at $3,500, 20 minute drive to get, bulletproof.
Cons: Not as kid friendly for a 2,4,and 7 year old. Price will go down before it goes up.
Jurassic Park:
Pro: "Cooler Furniture", Best toy in pinball, will likely never be remade and will go up in value. My kids would love.
Cons: $3,500 is a lot for this machine. Not as Deep or a ruleset. Dinosaur subject to breaking.
Which would you buy for your one pin household?
Price will go down before it goes up? I have never heard of a ST that cheap. Smart move would be to grab that fast. I seriously doubt we will ever see that game hit that cheap of an average price. JP is good...but not ST good. They are not usually in the same price range. $3.5 is a lot for JP, and cheap for ST.
