I can only have 4 pins in my basement due to space and in order for me to get a new game, one has to go. I really like the shots and layout in Iron Maiden, used to be a huge fan of their music, new stuff not so much, so this pin has it all for me. I have been content with my current line up for a while now and I hate to think about which one I would sell first. MET is one of my favorites so that one is not going anywhere and I guess it’s hard between SM, GOT, and Avatar. I know most would say Avatar right a way but mine is such a beauty and you don’t see them on location much so I feel if I got rid of that one I would miss it. In fact I think I would miss all of them, so what one would you get rid of?

Just wait. I base that on my theory that you should NEVER sell a game you still enjoy playing. So wait a year. Iron Maiden will still be available, and by that time you may be tired of one of your current games.

I vote avatar but if it's in such nice shape that you would regret selling it then I vote GOT you can probably get another easily if you want in the future.

Avatar gets a lot of shit for only having one ramp but stacking modes with multiball really gets this game rocking. Plus the call outs and sound are pretty good. Is INMD way better than Avatar? probably so, but sometimes different (Avatar) is good.

absolutely sucking; and rightfully so.

Look if you don;t want to get rid of Avatar that's fine, then don't list it because it's going to win my a lot.

I voted for game of thrones pro , only because if you regret your decision and would like to get the game you sell back into your collection it seems as though game of thrones would be the easiest to get back .

Just get rid if the one that you play the least. I love my GOT but for whatever reason i find myself playing it the least of all my games here lately so if i were facing the same dilemma as you are, i would have to consider letting it go even if it is a better game than other ones that i have. If its not being played much then replace it with a game that you will play alot. Regardless of which game you choose to let go, you are going to be playing IMDN way more than the game that leaves so its going to be a good trade no matter what.

Thanks for the comments guys, I'm pretty sure Avatar will be the one to go. I always like to finish a game before I get rid of it and I have not done that on any of my current games. I have seen the final wizard modes on all of them but haven't yet completely "beat" them.

I know how you feel. I have a 4 game collection and needed to sell one to buy Iron Maiden.
I just played all my games for about a month a bunch to pick the one to go. Then I played that one until I was sick of it.

Good luck

Edit: sorry I did not vote in the pole.

Make some room somehow. Must be some way to get a 5th pin in the basement.

If you are that torn and can't possibly squeeze one in downstairs, add one pin upstairs. If the wife hollers she will get over it - eventually. Maybe.

Buy the Iron maiden and put it in your living room or something. Just get rid of a piece of furniture and put the new pin upstairs.

Show some pics of your basement, we don't believe only 4 pins fit.

Iron Maiden will most likely still be on the line in a year. If that is too long then wait 6 months. Right after the new year. Then decide which pin goes. Then get Iron Maiden nib and enjoy.

3 years has been how long most new Stern games will be in for production for before it falls off the production list.

Great comments. My basement is a jam room as well, so drums, amps and guitars fill the balance. Dining rooms are overrated I agree but that’s the wife’s room.

Based on what you've stated, Spider-Man is the game to go.

IMDN will more than make up for it in your lineup. Enjoy!

Jam less, flip more.
