Quoted from dboeren:If you can wait a bit longer, American is working on their next pin "Galactic Tank Force" from Dennis Nordman and I expect they'll be showing it at Texas Pinball Fest in late March. Nordman has put out some great pins in the past, so I'm hoping this will be a big hit.
Earliest I intend on buying one is this summer, maybe they'll have some demos at Southern Fried so I can check it out.
I understand it's just the market demand, but when I can buy a new pin for thousands under a Stern premium and I find them both fun to play, it's almost a no-brainer. I have several pins on my wish list that are 10+ years old and sell for close to, if not more than the same price. Also, I wouldn't mind having something different than a Stern or Williams. I like Halloween and TNA, but I haven't heard much good about Spooky's quality and TNA doesn't seem to do a lot for the money. American seems to have a good reputation, just haven't played a game I cared to own until LOV. Houdini might be great, I've just have never seen one in the wild.
