Looking to add 1 game to my collection of current available games line up. It would be a premium version. Thoughts on which one to pick up to go with my current game collection? I have played most of the current Stern's (including Munsters) and seem to like the 3 listed the best. I was leaning towards SW but cant really say I am a SW movie nut (although I do like the movies, just dont remember all the details). I probably had my best games on Iron Maiden but I am not an IM music fan. I will say I didnt like Metallica either and now I do after getting the pin. DP was another that I liked when I played but only put a few games on it. I will probably go play them all again but wanted to hear some thoughts..... or maybe other games? I guess a JJPOTC could is an option, I played that game at a pinball show but it had some reset and game stuck issues and was not working well at the time so cant really say..... Also, I have a ACNC on order.

Quoted from Crile1:SW is the toughest shooter of the bunch, so paired with ACNC may lead to a frustrating lineup especially for guests.

Yes but I do have several other games. I will also add that I am getting older and starting to think about retirement next year. This game plus ACNC probably will be my last pinball purchases as it will complete the game room and I will need to change my spending habits in retirement. I am trying to line up all my toys now and enjoy them for the years to come. I guess I could trade games in the future but the plan is to probably slowly offload them as I get older and older but that is a ways away.

Quoted from Crile1:

I have a SW premium, JJPOTC, and ACNC on the way as well. Of my current lineup, SW frustrates me the most.

Thanks - I appreciate your thought and input.

What is the plunder thing?

Quoted from f3honda4me:

I’d say get POTC as it’s easily one of the best games ever made.

OK - You guys now have me leaning towards a POTC.

Another one to consider: BM66 - Stern's best pin since LOTR and may be ever. Awesome theme, music, video, and callouts more than make up for some clunky shots and put it ahead of IMDN.

I do have BM66LE currently in my collection

Quoted from IdahoRealtor:

Any reason why you're only considering NIB pins for your last slot?

I would consider a HUO newer pin like SW. I pretty much moved off buying used older pins as I find unless I can play them I usually find fault that is not listed.

Quoted from bigdaddy07:

I'll have to confess that BM66 was a sleeper pin for me. I had less than zero interest in it until I played one. I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and all the lesser villains there were to battle. Now I would consider one in the future.

I got lucky on the BM66LE. I was ready to buy an AS and the day I was ready to buy a BM66LE can available not too far from me. It was with the .65 code and most people were not happy with it. I actually thought it was fun. I thought it was a good risk cause Lyman was coding it and I got it at a discount. Plus the topper was too cool.

I am going to look for where too play JJPOTC. sounds like I should try that game again. Thanks for the inputs. For me it is between SW and JJPOTC now.
