Quoted from indypinhead:You can't have mine!!!
But I WANT it!!!
Wow. What happened to that IJ?
Very timely subject "Whirlwind" which was just delivered monday. This is a game I have played for years at the Pinball Expo and always wanted it. I've been searching for months (happily got sidetracked ended up with a Indy500) and finally bought a stunning machine from the Pinball Clinic in PA.
I love everything about this pin including suitability of the grandchildren (I also like BSD, & FH) vetoed by wife.
cheers

We would like to clearcoat all our playfields, have decals on some pins installed too, install better speakers on the remaining ones we have left to do. After that, we will see. We have to keep dreaming, don't we

Second!

More of a lifetime wish but pretty much any EM.
Would also love a SOF, Gladiators, D&D or TX but we'd never have space for 3 and if any did appear in this sparse land o'er here, wouldn't have the dough either ^_^
Quoted from burningman:to the OP....bang for the buck? go with Creature. I love mine...but the other titles you have on your list are strong as well.
For me, 2015 will bring Lebowski....and I have been kicking around the idea of selling my TAF and picking up a WOZ but the jury is still out on that one.
Thanks for the advice. WOZ is a great machine, some people hate the theme but I do not mind it. The game play is very different but it you have a decent size collection it's a great alternative and really adds to the mix.
I think it's interesting that there has been a lot of discussion recently about pinball has peaked and sales are about to plummet, prices are killing pinball, the bubble is bursting, everyones game room is full, etc. You see a few people saying they are not buying in 2015 but most if not all of them are at a minimum working on project machines which will include purchasing parts and continuing to feed money back into the hobby. Granted this thread is geared towards people that are looking to add machines and a tiny fraction of the hobby is represented but it does seem to imply lots of people are still going to be buying next year.
My next one will be a HEP restored Centaur (when it's turn comes up with Chris). It's been there a while but it'll be worth the wait when it's finally done! In the meantime I'm enjoying the Voltan restoration videos that he's doing right now.
Yes but the buying was much much deeper and different. Almost fighting for games vs casually trading now. It's not dead but it's certainly much different now than a year and a half ago.

This! Even if there isn't a whole lot of adding to collections, I think we'll still see many games changing hands via trade, and in the second/third hand etc. Plus the growing modding community and parts purchases, it makes the industry viable. Also the increased news/tv coverage we are witnessing.
Yeah, I have had two people contact me about wanting to buy two machines each in the last week and neither own a single pin. People will always be interested in buying and selling pinball. Distance issues and transportation actually break deals for me way more often than the "can't afford that much" crowd.
As long as new buyers are looking to spend cash, pins will continue to sell for good money.
