Quoted from meep:

Pinside community - thank you for existing.
I currently have an original Attack from Mars in reasonably good shape. It does need repairs periodically and I worry that as it ages this will get worse. I'm considering swapping it out for a remake for less downtime and more longevity.
One concern is value - will the original potentially appreciate in value as a collectors piece as the years go by, and perhaps make holding on to it worth the upkeep costs?
Any thoughts are appreciated.

You should add a poll. Of course, there will be a ton of people on both sides of it.

Originality vs. Newness

I say go for what YOU value most...a shinier, easier to deal with pin...or originality.

It's hard to say how value would be affected in the future, but wouldn't the value of your gameplay be the most important thing??

Which one do you enjoy the most?

Quoted from Cobray:

The AFM LE is THE BEST remake made IMO with that killer topper and UFO LED's that change multiple colors... I've owned both and the remake is the way to go here for the price!!

This seems to be the general consensus. I see no harm in going with the CGC pin.

Of course, part of me has to think that this is a real "first-world problem."
