Best of both worlds
Quoted from hoby1:Wife agrees
Even better

Good choice. Your AFM is very nice! Would be hard to find another as nice.
BTW: If you go by the ones on eBay right now you are probably way under priced
It's a matter of attachment, money and space. AFM is a great game and you have a nice example. Are you attached to it in a way that won't let you sell it for the current market value? Do you need the money or space to pay for the next game?
I have a current space limit. Something must go for me to add. Probably...
Disclosure: I have a beautiful Bryan Kelly restored AFM and I love it.
Quoted from hoby1:What to you guys think. If I would was thinking around 7800
Quoted from hoby1:Love how people judge the value of a game without even seeing it.
Quoted from Mike_J:It depends.
I would much rather have $7,800 in my pocket than own your game.
I have both
Quoted from kaneda:I love how people are always like, just wait for the remake. That could be in 6 years.
It could be never.
How many people STILL don't have their MMr from 3 years ago.....
Quoted from hoby1:I know..... And having an original one thats in excellent shape is a rare find. Its just that Hobbit looks so frign cool
So does WOZ, but playing it doesn't do it for me. If possible, be patient and put some real time on Hobbit first.
Is there any reason to believe that the code on TH will be finished when the game ships? If not, why would you sell a fully coded game just to buy a work in progress?

Pinball addicts have trouble waiting on titles/themes they really want. Myself included. I know I should wait but my addiction says get it now!

Isn't this how all Stern games are sold?
Quoted from arcademojo:Isn't this how all Stern games are sold?
Yep, and it's the primary reason why I don't own any.
Quoted from hoby1:Only reason I said it was because of the comment.
I know. Just busting you!
(And that's my bad...I should have included the wink the first time!)
Quoted from taylor34:I wouldn't sell the AFM, you'd be at the back of the line and with all the preorders it would probably take over a year to get to your order. So why not play the AFM for a year and then decide, when you can actually buy one and get it right away? Ordering now won't get it any sooner for you.
Actually, from what we saw with WOZ, he could buy one from a distributor and be in front of the line.
Quoted from pingod:I would dump rippleys or sopranos first.
Especially if you can get this kind of coin for it:
(Saw that while I was out xmas shopping with the wife yesterday. It was pretty clapped out too.)
