Skipping POTC and Houdini and Maiden (waaay later) are next. Just got to get AP to make more of them faster...
Quoted from mario_1_up:I want to buy iron maiden. But the wife is making me buy aerosmith.
Plenty of other ladies I the Fairbank area!
If I had the cash I would invest for 6 months and then decide between (1) DILE (love the game now, would like to see code upgrade and if some of the little items ya have to deal with (trap door, spring breaks, etc.) get addressed (2) JJPPOTC (played one and liked it - curious to see code/call outs upgrade and if they do anything else on PF (sails, spinning disk adjustment) and (3) BBBr (seems for sure MBr is the next title but if there was a strong sign BBBr is next up would contemplate that one). Whoever was in the lead at the 6 month point wins.

That will put me at 36 pins so I guess I can't complain that much.
it's remarkable how the community has come around on DI. When the theme and feature set initially leaked, a TON of people instantly proclaimed it a flop of epic proportions.
personally i love the game -- it's simply a lot of fun to play. great flow, satisfying shots, tons to shoot for, and the missions and modes don't get old because there's so MANY of them and they come in more or less random order, unlike some games that can feel relentlessly repetitive (*cough* OKAY WHO BROUGHT THE DOG *cough*). Overall, JJP really knocked it out of the park in terms of gameplay on this one.
Right now I would buy AFMR but I’m waiting to see if MBR is next. If that’s the case then that will get my money.
Just bought a Luci vault and I’m loving it. I wanted an AC/DC for quite awhile. We did a Stern factory tour last May and was emphatically told that a Luci remake would never happen, glad I trusted my gut on that one...

Still lmao on that as well, though I think it should have had a different name...
If I do another Nib in the near future it will be either a DILE or a JJPOTC (hope to play one next weekend), otherwise I’ll look for a deal on something from my wishlist.
I love the looks and video I see of Aliens but have not played or spoke to anyone who owns one. That's still my first choice. Looks badass.
Thanks

Quoted from Frippertron:Skateball, Flash Gordon, Meteor, Blackout, Nine Ball, and Stars that's probably about a Stern premium. Yes 6 classic SS machines for the price of a NIB Stern. I'll take the classics sorry, not a Fanboy
I’d be down for a Stars NIB! Lmk when they are available.
I can only afford to take the NIB risk every 5-10 years.
2004 - LOTR, worked out well
2013 - MET Pro, worked out great
2018 - Alice Cooper’s Nightmare Castle. Hoping for great things.
I do have a lot of “pre-owned” Sterns, and those worked out well too. It’s nice when the first owner takes the cost down for you.

I should specify - WORKING - is a must.

Over the past year I've purchased the following games NIB: MMr Std, Dialed In LE, BM66 Prem, Star Wars Prem, GOTG Pro. If I had to chose, I'd probably pick MMr and BM66 as the two best. Dialed In and SW Prem are both great too. The only one I wouldn't recommend is GOTG Pro. The call-outs are horrible voice actors and it is fairly boring so far. This could improve with code updates. I will be buying a JJPOTC LE whenever that comes out and I think it may just be the best of the bunch.
Quoted from mittens:I really was hopeful for GOTG but lack for speech and poor movie clips turned me off. It also sounds that JJ POTC will suffer from the same issues. I would therefor have to go with Dialed In just to mix up my collection (though Luci would be close 2nd)
speech in JJPOTC is bad ass! It's Gibbs, and he nailed it!
Quoted from TRAMD:The only one I wouldn't recommend is GOTG Pro. The call-outs are horrible voice actors and it is fairly boring so far. This could improve with code updates.
Easily fixed in Pinball Browser, and the latest update is already promising. Remember the original voices in TWD? Pretty bad. But now TWD is a smash hit and nobody can deny it.
After buying AFMr LE and MMr Std over the past several months I’m all in on a MBr if that is the next remake to complete my 3-game collection. Love the humor, themes, and fun of those games.
Played Houdini for the first time the other day. Even though it has some seriously tightass shots, it was fun and looked like it was built like a brick shithouse! That where i would put my money but alas, i dont have that kind of coin atm.
