Has this whale made landfall yet? Someone wake me when it's over.

Deja vu?! I hope whysnow didn't buy a Batman 66 for $89 from china.

updated thread title to keep the negativity down.

Whole idea was to share the excitement of scoring a rare game, a game you have been on the hunt for for a while, etc...

I have not picked up the game I have hooked (snow related issues), but will soon.

My latest whale-- Andromeda! I've been after one of these for years and years, including one I had a deposit on, but that got away through the owner's untimely and unexpected death.

Next to it are earlier whales-- Time Fantasy with a HSA restored PF, and the Warlok with a clearcoated NOS PF.

VERY cool! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL machine!

#262 4 years ago

I know it's simple, but I'd really like to play a South Park pinball machine again. I don't want to own one, but it is one I remember playing a lot in the arcade as a kid. I think my pin skills are up to beat it now. Maybe one will show up at pinfest and I can play a handful of games.

#263 4 years ago

My personal "whale" right now is a decent Gottlieb 2001 within a reasonable driving distance of Seattle. Been looking for a while without success but I know there's one out there.

Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Because it’s the coolest, obviously!

I had wanted one for roughly 20 years; never thought I’d get one. Jumped at the last one rvdv had up for sale. A couple weeks later I stumbled on another... except it was still in Italy. I couldn’t help myself and imported that one at a much greater risk but a fun summer project/story in the end. One will be traded off in due time. Say, anyone got a Robot?

Ha! I will have a nice Robot at some point . A spooky would be cool to have next to it , anything other than a robot interest you ?

Mine has been Dimension, the AAB version for a while now but I recently settled on a 2001.

this whale ... still snowed in ?

#270 4 years ago
Quoted from TecumsehPlissken:

Yes but looks to be a few warm days coming up. Let’s hope snow melts

#271 4 years ago

doghouse you have an awesome collection. That Baywatch looks out of place. You should trade my taxi + cash for it.

#272 4 years ago

did you land it yet ?

#273 4 years ago

Wasn't expecting much of a payoff here yet I still have blue balls.

If this game ends up sucking you are gonna hear about it. From me!

Especially if its a Black Sheep Squadron or Allied Leisure's Getaway

Can you give a little hint of what it could be?

He CAN, but hasn't.

I am curious as well, but at this point losing interest. LOL

That’s cool,We can wait a little bit longer haha!!.. Got me wondering so now I have to know what it could be

#278 4 years ago

you guys are zero fun...

sorry I did not maintain your interest.

Intent of the thread was to share the excitement of landing a game you have been chasing for a while. We have all had it and it is a good feeling, but we dare not share until the game is safe.

I will post updates once the game is in hand. Feel free to drain and ignore if the thread bothers you.

I wont post in it again till it includes proper reveal. So if nobody else posts, then the thread will only alert you when there is the finish for your build up.

Whysnow we are just joking buddy,Yes we understand why you can’t say what it is and yes it is fun wondering what it could be

Still following Hilton though I can't remember what I guessed earlier. Today's guess is Krull

You do whatever you'd like, I was only stating my opinion (and mostly joking), and you know how that goes. LOL

I AM curious to see what you get, and honestly wasn't trying to deflate your post. I have a Dr. Dude coming at some point, but that's not exciting or rare.

I get all kinds of excited for the same ol' same ol' games that everyone else has played I'm a simple man.

#283 4 years ago

Why do I keep coming back to this thread? I'm going to go play some pinball...

Sorry, man, but it's kind of like foreplay without the parade.

You know, I can get pretty creative, but incorporating a marching band never occurred to me.

Is parade another word for sex? I think, if I know y’all Minnesotans, you mean train

#287 4 years ago

This should be moved to that other thread about "nothing".

#288 4 years ago

Next we will be sharing stories about parading on a pinball

#289 4 years ago

#296 4 years ago

To tide everyone until the big reveal, here are two whales I landed this week. Both of these I've been searching for a bit, with not a lot of hope I would ever land one. 11 hour total drive time.

Big thanks to pfcjimmy and brenna98 for the assists.
