I must be having a brain fart, but what is BKN?

Vett, try looking for an NGG. I just picked on up , added cointaker led's under the inserts and flashers plus a sony sub. It is a lot of fun.

You should be able to pick up a SM for $4500. I'd definitely get one over any of the other Sterns you listed. Or pick up 2 older BWM's

Chad H had a nice vette FS here and add one of the others....
or you could get NF-WCS and JP all for 4500.

TF pro= GREAT PIN!!!!

My LOTR is forsale.

Since you already have two older games I'd go for one of the Sterns. LOTRs would keep you busy for awhile.

If budget is a concern, I'd pass on TF and AC/DC for starters; least bang for the buck out of many options, for both fun and price factor. (I spent a bunch of time on AC/DC and TF recently, was decidedly unimpressed.) SM or LOTR would be better choices for a recent pin that has staying power. If you like IM, something like NF would be similarly fun at half the price. Or, my stock suggestion of WPT and add another fun sub-$2k game....

My vote is for a new machine,AC/DC-very fast playing machine,I loved it yesterday when I got probably a dozen plays on one at Game Exchange of Colorado

Sold LOTR. Got to move fast on the pins I sell.

Good luck on the hunt. ACDC Pro rocks and is an excellent value. You think your good? ACDC will challenge you(Laugh at you and knock you on your ass). Keep you come back for more. You will have dreams of it. It haunts me.

Did you see my son playing it?

Got mine from Flipper Fidelity with Shaker. Recommended.

Why is spiderman and batman out of budget? You can get HUO versions of these pretty easily for $4000. I'd definitely get a spiderman.

For that budget, I would always recommend a 2 vs. 1 - i.e. you could potentially score a WCS94 and a NGG; with that you could play both for (at least) a year, and then if you get tired of one trade up plus cash for a LOTR/IM/SM. I'm not huge on Stern games, but at the same time you can always use an older game as trade bait or simply sell for cash to put toward a newer Stern like Spiderman or BDK.

You can easily get LOTR, TSPP, or SM for $4500 or under.

That's right,These 3 titles are probably the best so far from Stern.Very deep rules also

all I can say is I love my Corvette...and by your Sn you would also...plus you get to keep over 1500 funny money

I'd like to know where the $4000 HUO Spiderman is. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Do you like fast or slow ball times? If fast ball times, then IM, Tron, or TF. If slow ball times, then SM, BDK, or LOTR. Personally, I've found that I like the fast ball times, which I wouldn't have thought was the case a few years back. It's probably good to have both for variety in a collection. I see that you have the first batman, so if you're a superhero fan, maybe go for IM now and save for SM or BDK in the future for variety. Oh yeah, rumor has it that Avengers is next, and with Borg behind it, I expect another fast machine.

Ac/DC Pro is a SUPER fast pin.

Hey,

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I think for $4,500, you're limiting yourself by only looking at the machines you've listed. With a handful of high-end exceptions, you're in the price range of getting more or less any machine out there in pretty good shape. Off the top of my head, you might want to take a look at Twilight Zone. I don't think any of the games you've suggested are in any way bad (I don't have experience with all of them), but trying out a game like TZ that relies on methodically lining up your shots as opposed to straight-up speed will at least let you know if you like that type of game, and maybe open some others doors for you. Just my two cents.

Luke

HUO wasnt a requirement for him. Ive seen some decent Routed SM's sell for 2800-3200.

I'm assuming your talking about longer ball times and not pace of play. When your hitting your shots SM is as fast as any of the others listed.

If you were closer I would sell you a rbion and a nascar well under your budget.

Let me know when you see this again. I want one!! Sign me up!

Yep, LOTR yes, SM yes, TSPP no thanks for me.
AC/DC or Transformers is a good price new.
