Slowest year for a long time for us. Too busy looking after my parents. 1 in, 1 out.
MandoLE out
Deadpool premium in

3 out 3 in. Hoping for more movement in 2023.
How much activity did you have?
One out and two in.
Iron Maiden Pro left and JJP GNR and Toy Story 4 CE joined the club. My collection seems to be leaning JJP over Stern recently with my newer pickups.
Calgary, AB
I have only acquired 7 pins in 20+ years so I have built very slow. This year adding 3 was huge for me. I moved and finally got more space. So No Good Gofers, Wonka LE, GZ Premium. Wheeee!
Star Light, Cactus Canyon remake SE, Stars, Fire Queen(2) in.
nothing out.
No new pins but....Life changes...
I can't set up all my machines now....
So I have loaned out two pins to friends to Babysit.
On Thanksgiving I took Blackout to my friends in San Diego and we set it up and had a Blackout feast.
My friends were super excited to have a classic pin in their home.
We also watched Strange Brew after Dinner.
We definitely need a Strange Brew Pinball Machine.
IMG_4198 (resized).jpg8 in. None out.
Target alpha, pop a card, teacher's pet, wizard, paragon, ACNC, STTNG, and data east JP.
I got back a couple (kind of 3, actually) that I really missed. JP, paragon, and target alpha (I used to have solar city, but I like target alpha better...same layout though)
I'm going to need a bigger space!!
I'm -1 for games in 2022 ...
IN--> Weird Al, CCr, Grand Lizard, AIQ Pro and Rush Prem (borrowed)
OUT--> Funhouse (2.0), Stranger Things Prem, Ghostbusters, TNA, CCr, and Rush Prem (borrowed)
I ordered a 007 Prem but that will get logged under 2023

Judge Dredd
Road Show
Fire!

Transporter the Rescue

Told wife I would downsize this year. So 4 pins went out. But noticed I still didn't have any room. Why because 4 pins came back in Hot Wheels, Dale Jr. And last month two game back to back AIQ Pro and Godzilla Pro. Ok I'll try again next year, promise.
5 in, 2 out. Now at 5 total, not bad for my 2nd year in pinball. I expect next year to be much quieter as I’m at capacity and very happy with my machines. My only plan for next year is probably sell AIQ for an IMDN.
1 in 0 out.
CFTBL is at my sons house.
2023 CCRLE,Bond Premium, Scooby CE.
57A07DC2-7915-4486-A6E1-929E3A8B4C46 (resized).jpegJust one in, a Stranger Things Pro. I've had a DP Premium on order for 1.5+ years (June 21). I'm keeping it on order for sport at this time. If Stern makes it in December of 23 (as someone has speculated), that will be a 2.5 year wait, a freaking quarter of a decade! That should be some kind of record for a new pin. Will the CCR guys waiting beat me? Probably not.

You must have picked a distro with one heck of a long list of orders ahead of you
Quoted from bigguybbr:You must have picked a distro with one heck of a long list of orders ahead of you
Yeah, I did. Unfortunately I was 2 reservation slots back from the cutoff point of their allotment of the last DP run this year. Oh so close, but no cigar. I'm hoping that Stern squeezes a handful in somewhere in the production schedule sooner, but we'll see.
In: No Fear, Swords of Fury, Monster Bash, Gotg pro, Avengers Infinity pro
Out: LW3 and JP pro
Let's see. Here's the 2022 time line.

I essentially turned the cash from Maverick into 4 fun EMs.

I have room for 4, so my games often only stick around a few months. Everyone thinks I’m nuts, but why bolt to the floor when there’s so many huge, pricy toys to play for a bit, and I can’t afford a $20k collection. I sold a really nice BSD, missed it, bought an even nicer BSD, remembered why I sold. I currently have 2 (with no plans to sell SoF) so I’m sure 2023 will have much movement again!
Pins:
In: 11
Out: 12
Temp Trades: 2
Bolted down never moved:2
Total Lineup: 5-6
Arcade1up:
In:6
Out:4
Pool Tables
In: 1
Out:0
I'm planning on selling/trading less next year but doing more temp trades. Weird Al should be here early January with a few more modules later in the year.
Despite all this I actually took money OUT of the pinball collection this year.
In
Last Action Hero
Bow and Arrow
Rush LE
Out
Bally Knockout
I foresee 0 in 2023 but I've said that before...
6 in, 2 out
GZ pro and Rush premium had a short, but nice stay.
GZ pre, R&M, seawitch and GB pro still here. GB probably won't stay long, but the others are bolted. Did a total shop on my old DE SW too, old Sing Along on the rack now. New playfield for seawitch showed up this week, eager to get in front of the full restore.
Good year and looking forward to the next. Bond any day now and TBL hopefully arriving in the spring!
Quoted from zacaj:16 in, 2 out
Ahhh, it's not really a "problem" until you hit 100!
In: Terminator 3, F-14 Tomcat, Doctor Who (on loan)
Out: Street Fighter 2 (traded for F-14)
