Keep ft and trade jd. I think it harder to find a nice ft then a jd

I'm not a huge FT fan- ditch that for JP ... but try to get a couple hundred bucks, too

I would keep what you have.

My major beef with JP is the poor sound/music quality. One of my favorite parts of the original Jurassic Park movie is the wonderfully majestic John Williams score. It's sooooo cheesy hearing it in the crummy 8-bit form on the machine. Also can't stand the "disco music" that they have playing half the time either.

I would keep both your games especially FT if there is very little fade too.

I would work on your math.

However, since this is an opinion post, I will say FT > JD > JP so, unless you're bored with your titles, I would stay where you are.

I was the king of never being satisfied with my current line up last year and drove myself nuts in my search....

I'd hate to see you lose the FT, especially if it has little to no fade, but then if you're bored of it, you're bored of it. Also, if your FT has little to no insert wear, that's even more reason I'd keep it. Therfore, I'd send along JD before a nice FT because I think you could find a nice JD easier in the future.

It was a tight race between you and coasterguy!

I would keep a FT thats in good shape and dump the JD. I just picked up a JP this week. While it is fun its not the deepist game, but if you have a few other machines at home I highly recomend picking it up.

FT has decals available, so you can make cabinet look great either way. Not sure how the JD cab looks, but no decals available anywhere. IMO I think FT is worth slightly more than JD so if I was going to trade 1 it would probably be JD. Also with both having toppers, JP better be in great shape w/ topper as well.

just buy the jp lol

JP is definitely worth considering. FT is harder to find, but I couldn't get into it. Different game with habit-trails galore and some cool/unique toys. Not a bad pin - just one I couldn't "click with" last I played it. Would love to try it again.

Any game with Sly Stallone just seems to be easy to find; however, JD is supposed to be quite a sleeper pin. Can't give an opinion as I haven't played it.

JP is shallow (not as bad as Batman/Back to the Future/TMNT) but fun. It is a pin all your friends can rally around and enjoy. Trex nomming on the pinball is ALWAYS a crowd pleasure, and it has possibly one of the top 5 best integrated use of a shaker motor ever. Translite art is awesome - playfield art could use some help.

That's DM...JD doesn't have anything to do with Stallone. This is a common mistake that actually kept me from any interest in JD for years and years.

I would take a JD over a JP. Don't know much aboot JD but there's just a ton of stuff in it...a ton.
I like JP a lot, but that would be the loser here. FT is a classic for me.

JD is not based off the movie with Stallone it is based off the comic. To me that helps the game since the movie sucked so much. Also JD has some great artwork. But like others have said JP is always a crowd pleaser with non pinheads, wifes, etc.

i would let go jd

Man, that was my total bad. I remember JD in the comics from way back in the day too - early 90s when I was in 7th-8th grade.

Good call guys, my mistake

What he said

But, I know how hard it is to have a small lineup. I was stuck at 3 pins for years and was starting to get really tired of them. Luckily, I saw the light and started buying more. Now I have variety and I still love my original 3 pins. I think you need to fully embrace pinball polygamy

Get rid of JD and get JP.

I wouldn't trade FT or JD for JP.

Both JD and FT are worth more than JP. I wouldn't trade. The other guy is getting the much better deal if you trade. JD and FT are better games too.

I suspect a lot of people who think JD is the worst pin of the lot haven't played it much. It's an amazing game. It has the best flow in all of pinball. The animation and humor is great; the theme is good; the gameplay is top notch and it's a very challenging game to get very far into.
