I've got a massive post MGC problem and it's hopefully one you guys can help remedy.
This is what the pin area of my gameroom now looks like:
There is a gaping hole where Revenge From Mars used to be.
It would be nice to patch it with one of these:
Creature from the Black Lagoon, Diner, Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure, Junk Yard, Last Action Hero, Lord of the Rings, Medusa, Shadow, Swords of Fury
If you have any leads, please let me know.
Thanks!
I'm also looking for an inexpensive EM. The wife has always liked them and I'm starting to hear the call of the chimes.
Quoted from PM_Jeremy:Nice wall decorations! Are you a hyper power user and upgrade the motherboard a few times a year?
Nope, I just have been working in IT for a long time and when things die or become obsolete, I get newer "wallpaper". I could probably take some of those off the wall and still power them up, but there is not much call to run Pentium 2 processors, Sun servers, or Commodore computers in this decade.
Right now, I'm concerned about the space without a pinball machine. I need a new game!

I just hope you don't brush up against those walls.

That's why I need to get another game or two. It's for safety! (Hmmm... That could be spun to increase the Wife Acceptance Factor)

Isn't that a little big for a topper. 
Quoted from Lame33:There is a gaping hole where Revenge From Mars used to be.
Lame33 - my friends and I logged a few plays on your RFM and at one point set a high score. We had a blast! Thanks for bringing it.
I am extremely impressed at the effort for this launch party. I am considering plane tickets to see it myself.

It would be great to see you out here. I was just talking to the organizers the other day about how this reminded me of your epic party.

I so wanted to go to that Epic Party too. If you can make it Jared, we would love to have you!
Neo, you should make the trip and bring Stay Puft and some other sconnies with you.

Glad you liked it. RFM is a fun and under appreciated game. I think it found a good Pinsider home in Iowa.
Now I just need a new game to bring to MGC for next year!

i wish I could. I really wanted to make that party anyway, but I cannot. We have league finals on that day

A good home may be questionable, but it did make it safe and sound back to Iowa and plays great. Thanks again!!

Yeah, I wanted to also. Just the concept of Vanilla Ice and the Turtles dancing sounded so amazingly absurd and memorable.
Anyone care to chime in on current value of a Slugfest? Has card dispenser and topper. Some cab fade I believe but not terrible. Trying to help my brother move one and I don't follow the market on those.

I offered mine up a while back and had multiple people saying they would take it for 1200 (similar condition to the one you describe but with new plastics and all LEDs plus NVRAM.
I think 11-1400 is typical as you describe.
I owe photos to someone as I told them I would pull it post baseball season from route and they have first dibs.

Is yours the one at Pooley's? I saw one there about a month ago. He has no LEDS but if I could get in that price range he would be happy. Thanks for the input.
Ok guys, I just checked it all out and it looks like I will be able to make it up for the event. Epic! I would arrive at MSP around 9:30pm Friday Night. Any locals willing to pick me up and show me around? Lemme know, I need to get all the travel arrangements booked. Thanks guys.

I'm without a vehicle but if you're desperate, I can show you the magic of public transit

yup, and I wanted to attend that party too, and couldn't for the same reason.

Hey Les has channel 9 been notified? they did a great piece before and this is REALLY gonna be something.
Quoted from MikeS:Anyone looking to sell a GOT Pro in the near future? I'm looking for one. Thanks!
There is what appears to be a good deal on a Premium on MN CL
Quoted from RustyLizard:There is what appears to be a good deal on a Premium on MN CL
Thanks. Looks like a good deal but really only interested in a Pro. Seems like there have been way more Premium/LE's for sale than Pros.
Hey guys/gals. I've got nephew and a niece with a birthday coming up in June and I was thinking about getting them a cheaper pinball machine. Their parents don't have a lot of disposable income or the know-how to make this happen and I would love to get them into pinball at a young age. My nephew will be 6 and my niece will be 3. So if anyone has a cheap game that might be rough, I'd be interested in buying it. I don't care what the cabinet looks like, I imagine it may get colored on. I also don't care about play field wear. I don't mind fixing it up if there are broken switches etc. I'd love something with a DMD that would appeal to kids. Ideally, I want a TMNT as my nephew is a Turtles freak! If anyone has something like this, let me know. Thanks!
Ever thought about a zizzle, the cheaper kids ones ( I got one at sears for my god son, avengers maybe? same as below), the kind like the SW one below or "the pin"?
Great for those ages, not too expensive but still the pinball feel and if it gets drawn on or broken, nothing to be upset about.
Quoted from northvibe:Ever thought about a zizzle
I have not. That's a great idea though! If I can't find a full size pin, maybe I'll go this route. I'd really love them to have the "real deal" though.

I will say if you don't live close....it could become hard for them to keep up. I've wanted to get my BFF's kids games, but I keep going back to getting them the ones like that TMNT one you posted via amazon. They love it, it is pinball, but is zero maintenance or worries for the family. Then when they visit me, they can play the real games and LOVE coming over. Just something to think about

Yeah valid points. They are about 45 minutes from me. I wouldn't mind going over to fix anything that breaks. It would give me an excuse to see them.
Quoted from lordloss:Was thinking about selling my STTNG to fund a TSPP. Game has color DMD, Full LED package, and a few more decent mods. I'll get a full list later.
$4600, located in Boyden IA.
if you said lotr........
