Hey Guys-
I need a new pin and soon!! haha. I sold of JM and ES over winter break. I thought I'd be able to snag something else without a problem since I had time to look. There was nothing, and I mean nothing. So, here's where I am:
AVLE Hulk-- Advantage: The seller is willing to meet me in Columbus, OH. Disadvantage: This would still be quite a drive for the both . Other advantages: He's ready to move on and priced to sell with mods and it's a game I really want.
IM-- Advantages: Local, another game that I've liked the more I've played it. I still think it's overhyped, but it seems like a fun in your face game to have for a while. Disadvantages: While pretty nice for a routed game, I've never had a Stern that wasn't HUO. I don't know how well they hold up. Also a reimport from Canada. I don't know if that's a big deal or not. Plus I can get it for a little better price than his best price here.
AC/DC Premium: Advantages: Local. In fact, Pen is very close. Disadvantages: I've given it a couple of chances to grow on me while playing in the wild and it's just never connected with me. Some say the game takes time. On the other hand, it might never happen. I'm more of a "that's a pretty sweet shot to take and I like they physics of it or how the ball looks as it's moving" than "Can I figure out these complicated rules?" But I do like games that grow on me. It's kind of like music. The easily digestible stuff sounds catchy, but is short lived. Well-written and performed songs stay with you for a lifetime.
Ron B- Are you really thinking about selling Astro's JM? I inquired about that one and then boom, it was gone. While I sold JM, I really do think it was a mistake and I miss it. And Astro's seems marginally better than mine, especially with the redecaled reds.
