Every day I search here, FB Marketplace, ebay, & craigslist for 2 pins, Super Mario Bros & Jurassic Park Premium. SMB is a straight forward search. if I find one in good shape & a reasonable price, I'll grab it. as for Jurassic Park, I don't even know what I'm looking for. You can buy them NIB for around $7600 shipped but i'm having trouble justifying the purchase & I seriously doubt I'm gonna find one used for much less. If the pro had the moving TRex, I would have picked it up by now. I've never regretted the Aerosmith Pro I picked up thru this site but for the cost of the premium I could grab another HUO pro & still have money left over for a nice 90s pin. I thought about posting here asking for advice but then I realized I'd just get a bunch of buy it, it's a great pin responses. instead I'm just venting. I guess I'll keep looking and if one pops up near by, I'll probably bit the bullet.

pro, love the theme & layout.
pro, my wife is 100% behind it & my 7yro is excited for it. normally that would make the decision easy.
pro, machines hold their value. con, that only matters if i'd ever sell it.
pro, due to the covid we'll likely won't be hitting the arcades this summer. probably won't even be going to the shore much. w/ that in mind, it's a good time to buy.

don't mind me. like the subject says, just trying to talk myself into buying it.

Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

I'd buy one, but Stern hasn't done anything about my BM66 playfield issues. Nor do we know if they resolved the issues. Jurassic Park is a phenomenal game, but I'm not going through watching chunks of a $7,500 game fall off the playfield again.

that doesn't sound good.

I'm gonna make some calls today. Adding to the pro column, we'll were thinking about Disney for this fall & w/ the Covid, that's cancelled too. 1 more reason to add to our home collection.

Quoted from Pinstein:

Consider getting an EHOH instead. Its a much more fun game to play. I sold my JPLE. After awhile dinosaur roaring at you gets stale and as cool as the moving trex head is its also a little underwhelming after its done its trick once.

just watched the trailer & Elvira looks like a lot of fun.

just went to order the Jurassic Park & no dice yet. Stern is closed & the couple places I saw that had it for sale have "October Delivery" in fine print or they only deliver in a 100mi radius & I'm outside that. If I'm ordering, I want it now. will keep searching.
