    Quoted from cottonm4:

    At 2016 TPF there was a Barb Wire. My nephew raved about it.
    I played it one time and am not interested in another round. So +1 and -1.

    Funny, pretty sure that was my game. I picked it up simply because I had never owned one, fixed it up, played it a couple months and was so ready to sell by TPF. It's fairly rare since that is the only one I have ever seen.

    Rarity is hard to pin down. Just because we've seen one at a show, etc it could still be rare or extremely rare. If you think about it we are in the know, seek out all the pins and collectors bring the rare ones out to share at shows. To the general public they haven't even heard of most of these so in their minds anything that didn't show up in an arcade in large numbers would be thought of as rare.

    Maybe rare is more like, if I decide I want pin X how long to I have to keep searching for one before I can even find one for sale?
