Out with the old and in with the new!
Starting to see a lot of people selling their A or B title Bally/Williams games to fund new Sterns.
So, what did you sell to bring what game in?
Disclaimer: This poll has nothing to with the fact that I am secretly hoping that all Bally/Williams games come down in price so I can finally buy a CFTBL and a TOM. I'm broke and want a METLE first. 
I'm getting tempted to try to do a package deal of my Gottlieb Stargate, Freddy and SMB Mushroom World for a newer Stern.
My classic Ballys are not an option.
Dr Dude to help with WNBJM.
Sold STTNG & DW to fund a custom MET Pinball Refinery Edition. I miss DW a little bit, but was happy to see STTNG (and all it's frequent mechanical issues) head out the door.
It was part of a plan that I'm still working on. Have 3 new modern Stern/Heighway/JJP pins, as well as 3 classic Early 80's Bally/Williams/Sterns. Best of both worlds, no place for 90's pins.
Quoted from LesManley:For a new as in NIB Stern? None. I traded my STTNG for a restored LOTR and sold Popeye to get a Transformers though. I can't bring myself to go NIB and with the way prices keep climbing on them, I probably never will.
I'm with ya on the NIB prices. Bought my LOTR used. It's just too much money for a NIB.
Quoted from bayoubilly70:Zero regrets ... I'd do it again in a second - and I owned pretty much all of the B/W titles
There are a B/W few games that currently have no Stern equivalent. TZ is one of them. I had that pin in my house for several months (temp. trade) and I regret it.
Most recent sterns are very cool, and I am not a Stern fanboy, even if ST and Mustang are very high on my wishlist - but some Williams pins have a charm or features I do not find in recent Sterns. And vice-versa.
