For Pete’s sake ,someone please get this goin !! I would think most these actors would be willing to join in .Would need a rep from the Fratelli’s (Panoliano or Davi) ,2-4 Goonies (Feldman ,Astin , Cohen ,Quan ,Brolin, Plimpton ,Green) ,a villain rep (Antin) , a voice actor for Sloth , and if possible Lauper .Lower PF would be a must ,obviously getting there via a fireplace shot , a upper PF for Data’s maze for Chunk at the gate (do the truffle shuffle to get there ) , a pirate ship , Fratelli bash toy ,and a fast moving widebody to get all the rest in .I would be happy with something similar to TBL .Is this too much to ask ?

1. Monster Bash
2. Attack from Mars Re (Special)
3. Mando prem
4. TWD pro
5. GOTG pro

Today it'd be:

BSD
The Shadow
Godzilla
The Big Lebowski
TNA

Hard to choose only 5...

For me it would be:
Iron Maiden Premium (my all time favorite)
Walking Dead Premium
Star Wars Premium
Ghostbusters Premium

There is about a 10 game tie for 5th, but if I had to choose I’d maybe say Godzilla.

Not in particular order: iron maiden, star trek(stern), godzilla, bram stokers dracula (wifes fav), firepower (classic example)

Don’t think I have ever seen Dracula. I’ll have to keep an eye out for that.

Good solid list!

I own 4 currently and my wife authorized purchase for 5th. Medieval Madness and Attack from Mars (both original) Star Trek the Next Generation, Mandalorian and I have and order in for a Godzilla. The only one which could be exchanged out is STTNG, but I like it because it is so different from the others.

Pretty happy with my current 5 pin lineup. Plan to add Pulp Fiction. Meteor would be first to go, but I can fit 6.

Meteor
TNA
TFTC
Congo
Shadow

Metallica LE, Dragonfist , foo LE, Big Lebowski, Bond 60th

Only 5 games not sure i can do that. OK this is my work around 5 are mine the other 5 or in my care while being shopped and fixing with no time table. I give props to the ones that can get it to just 5.

The Matrix (JJP 2024)
Stern Star Trek Premium
The Hobbit
Lord of the Rings
Pulp Fiction LE

I'll go with some faves that I kept the longest, like 20-30 years. First three I still have, the last two I kinda felt it was finally time to let somebody else enjoy them. Fast Draw? You'll have to wait til I die.

Eight Ball Deluxe
Fast Draw
Black Hole
Jacks Open
Flip-a-Card

out of my current line up

iron maiden
twilight zone
high speed
godzilla
stranger things

Today’s vibe:

1. Dr Who
2. Star Gazer
3. Foo Fighters
4. Whirlwind
5. Flash Gordon

still have the same line up

Changing it up… again…

Batman 66
MM
TS4 (sorry haters!!)
STh Le/pre
JP le/prem

The last 3 could change by the day.. with IJ, TZ. Gz, or even SW

If I had to choose only five pins to have in my collection:

Whirlwind
Funhouse
Johnny Mnemonic
Star Trek (Stern)
Jurassic Park (Stern)

And for me, it’s really just games I have fun playing each and every time I play them.

TZ
Shadow
BSD
STTNG
FT

Another year, another list.

1. Elvira House of Horrors
2. Star Trek: The Next Generation
3. Whirlwind
4. Medieval Madness
5. Black Knight (1980)

Viva Variety!

5th year doing this:

GZ
NBAFB
TZ
Stars
Tiger

This year I'm only picking one per my favorite generation or designer. Jury still out on Spike

Nine Ball - MPU 100/200
Centaur - AS-2518
Starlight- Sys 7
MM - WPC
MET - SAM

After attending Yegpin a couple of weeks ago, I’d like to change my list. Tron is out, as I didn’t have an immediate love for it as I thought I would. And while I thoroughly enjoyed Scooby Doo, there’s something about that upper playfield covering a third of the table that doesn’t quite seem right. Saying that however, it doesn’t eliminate SD from my list, but Food Fighters is nipping a Scooby’s heels. To round out the list I’m going to sub in Earthshaker, which was a surprisingly fun. Who knew.

Taxi
Austin Powers
Indiana Jones (Williams)
Earthshaker
Scooby Doo

Latest Update:

Stern Beatles
Bally Flash Gordon
Gottlieb El Dorado
Gottlieb Jacks Open
Bally Fireball

*I really want to get a Taxi!

Update 1)FF 2)Venom 3)GZ 4)Imdn 5)Alien

I did, I knew. LOL

I'm bad at this. I don't bolt. Games I've owned the longest have been Party Zone and Swords of Fury. Stupid. My dream theme is TSPP, sold it after 6 months and don't think about it at all. I swap like a pinball floozy.

Dream lineup currently:
Tales From the Crypt
Riverboat Gambler
Bad Cats
Torpedo Alley
Quicksilver/Fathom

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

If I had to bolt:
Banzai Run
BSD
Taxi
Rick & Morty
Medieval Madness?

Most new games play too long. I'm a loser.

I am pretty happy with my current line up of five.

MM
TBL
TSPP
CC
JP Prem

Right now (also I own and have owned a few):

Jurassic Park
Elvira
Iron Maiden
Pulp Fiction
Foo

Time to update... I came close enough with three of the five above, so it's time to revise:

GTF DE
Rob Zombie Spookshow Intl
Elvira's House of Horrors LE
TNA 2.0
24

I'm waiting for someone to post this list:

EHoH LE
EHoH signature edition
EHoH 40th LE
EHoH BRK edition

Taxi (own it)
TNA (own it)
Joker Poker (own it)
Indiana Jones Pinball Adventure

Godzilla (Stern)
Indiana Jones The Pinball Adventure
Jurassic Park (Stern)
Medieval Madness (Original)
White Water

AFM remake LE
SW comic premium
JP premium
TNA
DP premium

As of 1/21/24:

SW Premium a Staple on my list
Godzilla
Stern JP
BSD
CCLE ( becoming my favorite "Old School" W/B)

I love all of the different responses and approaches. I always enjoy when this thread pops back up. Here areGo mine:

White Water: first game I ever bought and still so much fun. It is amazing the muscle memory with this game. I can go weeks without playing and it's still so familiar.

The Shadow: recently brought this game back into the collection. It is so incredibly fun an unique. Not my favorite theme, but the game play is fantastic.

The Big Lebowski: I haven't had a bunch of time on this machine, but everytime I play, I have a blast. And it's a dream theme.

Attack from Mars: I did a playfield swap on mine and then sold it. I regret it. It's a tough call with MM, but I have to go with Attack.

Godzilla: I have a pro. I would love to get a Premium. This game is pure fun. It's challenging, great shots, and so accessible for all.

Alien
TNA
Congo
Shadow
PF

Just waiting on that PF…

My 1 year update (2 changes)

GNRLE
SW prem/LE
Venom Prem/LE
LOV
TMNT prem/LE

Indy PA, Zilla, Iron Maiden, St Th & Toy Story

JP,GZ,IMDN,DP, and FOO. Bond is picking up steam.

Have you played PF? I have one on order but mostly for the theme.

I’m on the fence about Alien too. I’ve played it but not a lot so can’t decide about it. Seems like a good price for the new version.

1. Godzilla
2. IMDN
3. Indiana Jones
4. Medieval Madness or Twilight Zone
5. TNA? - Some single level. Maybe Pulp or a Centaur instead but definitely a single level.

I pretty much can only own 5 when I eventually reach my max. 2 of my 3 current are already on the list. With Centaur and Looney Tunes on order, we'll see next year how this transforms to or away from this "ultimate" Top 5. I took this thread as "You get 5 pins and can never change them" lineup.

Yes, last year at two different shows. The theme and Thiel on sound sold me and I ordered when it was revealed, prior to playing it. Once I got to play it, I got confirmation that the sound was fantastic. Gameplay wise, it’s a lot of fun if you like single level games. Are there cheaper classic games available for a fraction of the price with similar layouts? Yes, but not with this rare QT-sanctioned theme, and amazing audio with classic call outs and a great soundtrack. Also those older games won’t be in NIB shape, and if they are, you’re paying a high ticket for it anyway.

I got Alien:RE in just the last few weeks. It’s a dream theme for me. I got to play it on location here and there and knew it had great assets but always felt I wasn’t getting the full experience. That was definitely true. It shines in the home environment with the lights low and volume high. Its rule set is also what I like. Simpler modes, like the Bally/WMS games from the 90’s. Easy to learn but hard to master.

I’ll have Alien and PF forever. Even if I get out of the hobby because I don’t like playing anymore, they’re still badass works of art.

The 5 I’d keep if I sold the rest

GNRCE
EHOH40th
BONDLE
NBAFB
EJCE

Next 5 in line

GFCE
WonkaCE
STHLE
BM66LE
WH20

As of now:

Met
MM
JP
GZ
LOTR

Do you like all those better than you liked Alien?

Alien was my 5th, but I’ve been playing DP a lot lately on location and it’s been making me want it again. If Foo doesn’t get a big code update Alien will take its spot. Round and round we go There’s 3 pins that will probably be in my top 5 forever and it’s the 3 Elwin’s. Nobody makes a complete game like that team.
