I like the half and half setup too. Some nights I feel like playing the classics all night and others I feel like playing the Sterns (ACDC mostly). Good luck with your XMen sale and getting a Totan. Feel free to bring the kids over some day to see if they like Totan.

I'm very surprised by this! When did this transformation happen? I thought you were always a pretty big defender of X-Men?

Those are great examples of what I consider more classic style of pinball play (except maybe TAV which has a more unique layout). These are the types of tables that I am drawn to as well. ACDC feels more basic/classic because so much of the game play simply involves keeping the ball in play.

As others may point out, three of the four pins that you list as being more basic are fan layouts. To that, I say: so what! You like what you like, and as you say, it's personal taste, not so much the game itself. Pinball is extremely subjective!

Bingo, couldn't agree more! I think my current lineup shows a pretty good mix (as does my prior collection history).

TOTAN is on my wish list too. Not in the cards for me right now though.

Good luck with the search!

so price asking?

Good move: go with the games that YOU enjoy most; forget the reviews, ratings, and easy proclamations made by exceptional players (unless you are one ).

TOTAN is a masterpiece of design, artwork, and sound--just pure fun to play.

I'm looking at a TOTAN tomorrow.

Man, good luck. That's a tough one to find in good shape, but after playing Tad's, I want one too! Rescue that princess!

I think you have seen the light!

Buy with confidence. Great person and a great seller. Hell of a deal considering shaker motor and mirror blades.

Plus, Hwa takes immaculate care of his electronics.

Somebody snag this.

I'd love to, but I got no room. In fact Ill need to kiss my beloved Future Spa goodbye once ACDC rolls in this March.

A big bump for Dave's games being pristine. After playing his TFLE...I had to have one. And I felt the same after playing his XMEN and ACDC. I'll get an XMEN one of these days.

I'd buy it if I didn't already have the Pro. Bought his SM and couldn't have had an easier transaction. Deal with confidence.

Bump for you and if anyone wants a Wolverine version for the same price let me know.
I am in So Cal, but have the original box, pallet and packing for shipping.

Thanks,
Kevin

I cannot ffing believe this hasn't sold yet. Wish I was richer!

I honestly thought I'd blow out CSI by now and have sold my SM therefore being poised to seize on this. I know my time to snag XMEN is short, because once the code is polished it'll be like SM. up up up!

Little more of a price drop and it will sell.....to me !!!! I will forego buying
the Tron Pro I am getting ready to order and pick this up. Would rather
have this then the new Tron Pro and will hope they work out the bugs.
Would rather have this then a new Tron Pro !!!

It's a pretty damn good deal as is with mirror blades and a shaker also. I wouldn't let mine go any lower, the value has taken an early beating but it will be back once they polish the code up.

Hang in there someone will take you up on this deal, at least they should.

The layout is neat. The art is second to none. It really is a great game -- just a little more time and the code will be up to snuff. Good luck with whatever you decide!

You got TOTAN?! Congratulations! That game is really a work of art - probably my favorite art & sound package of all time. Hold on to that one!

Agreed the sound is really enjoyable on that game.

Really? I'd say it is the weakest part. Different strokes...

I must say that I recently picked up CTozzi's Wolverine to replace the one I had to sell awhile back to fund my MM and I LOVE IT!

XMen is an absolutely fantastic game (especially at this price point), and after playing the new code on my Tron last night I have a feeling that when XMen update gets released its gonna be awesome! Villan Memory (so you actually have a chance of beating them), Mode Tweaks e.t.c. just to name a few!

Good luck with your sale man! You'll miss it more than TF

If you can't get your asking price and would take $5K it is sold. I would come over later today with cash and we could load it up and drive back to my house (about 40-45 minutes away) and unload it. I bought the Theatre of Magic advertised last Sunday as I know I am knew here. A few guys know me but not many (just the ones I have talked to).

I just wouldn't buy one of the new games I was planning on buying (just bought AC/DC premium but it will not be delivered as well as a HUO Spiderman). Let me know and it you want a guaranteed no fuss no muss quick sale let me know. Again, I could do this tonight or if nothing else stop by on my way to VA. Beach with a deposit and we can do this either Sunday afternoon or Monday night. Well, good luck to you....I don't even know what "BUMP" means....sure you guys are getting a kick out of me but this game would look nice in the theater room but it is probably too expensive so I will probably put it in the Game Room with Spiderman, TOM, and AC/DC.

Well, at least I set the bar for everyone else which should help you get your asking price !!!! Waiting for someone else to "step up" for you and beat my offer !!!! At least it helps you !!! So come on guys give the man a better offer and make his decision easy. Take care.

^ ^ Might want to put that in a direct PM (Private Message) to the seller in the future.

But I applaud your effort on helping him get it sold

What other game has sitar music in it!? It's pretty rad. Great soundtrack. I like the 'dramatic' Genie music, too.

Also, the update doesn't effect me so it is no concern.....I truly stink at PINBALL and will never get to the point I beat the villians I am sure !!!! However, I am going to have some parties for a lot of the nice people I have met......so I can watch others beat the pinball machines while I beat them on the pool table (second thought....I stink at pool as well....well I'll think of something I can win !!). Good luck to you....think about it but that is my price good until I run out of money (which is probably going to happen fast at the rate I am spending it).

Thanks....for now on I direct reply.....thanks for the advice....will not make that mistake again....thank god I didn't post the sexy pictures of the wife !!!! Live and learn.....that would have ended in a divorce for sure !!!!

My apologies.....

Those are actually handled slightly different on pinside and you are highly encouraged to POST those publicly rather than direct message

Now that was FUNNY. Thanks for the nice responses guys.....hey, if your friend for any reason changes his mind let me know.....good luck to you. At $5.5 it is a very good deal anyway just at $5K it was an absolute no brainer....you should get $5.5 as you are being more then fair.

How about $5,100 and you deliver it and help me get my Spiderman out of my Explorer.....in fact Tom from NOVA may be coming over tonight so we can have a party. So $5,100 and food, drink and pool playing.....hey, the party is worth another $100 !!! Sad thing is I am serious.....I need a bunch of these pins and if you come over you will know why.....

I say you should post a pic of the hot wife along with your $5100 offer...

I bet that helps you out...

I donno...I'm getting the "beginning of a horror movie" vibe here...LOL!

you think so? How can it go from the worst code to a game changer? Are they changing the people who are working on it?

Right, that's my point...Sitar. And that snake sound effect on every plunge! Make or miss it's annoying. I do wish I still had mine, but that's just so I could double my money by selling it now!

Thanks for the advice on the appliance dolley. I had offers from a Mr. Wizzo and Tom to come over tonight to help.....great, great guys. However, it will stay in the car until next week as it isn't doing it any harm and I will figure it out next week....so many nice people on here.

I can't fix them, I can't move them and I can't play them !!! I am a "triple threat" not good !!!

Take care....and I still don't know what "bump" means.....so somebody write back.

Bump. $5,100......who knows hey I keep trying......let me know if you change your mind and I will swap it out for the Tron Pro.....plus, we can have a party to boot because I am going to need everyone to help me out....the party will cost me the remainder anyway !!!

Have a good weekend....

When you 'bump' a thread, you move it to the top of the first page. When I click send, BAM, the thread moves to the top of the list where it's very quickly buried by pinsiders arguing about Stern quality control, LEDs, or if toppers are cool or not. And they are cool.

Bump.

We're in the same boat, can't seem to find a buyer for my Xmen Wolverine either for the same price.
Guess we will have to sell for more when the new code hits.
