    You have come into some disposable income via an unexpected lottery win this week. There are a number of pinball machines you have targeted for purchase. Which one will you ultimately invest in at the present moment? Would it be perhaps a pre-order on JJP's upcoming 'Pirates of the Caribbean' or maybe their previous 'The Wizard of Oz', 'The Hobbit' or 'Dialed In?' Or perhaps the present rage on 'Iron Maiden' or 'Batman 66' will persuade you to fill the coffers at Stern? Then again with CGC working wonders on their re-makes you may opt to play catch up with a Medieval Madness, Attack from Mars or a pending Monster Bash announcement or anticipated Cactus Canyon 2019 declaration?! Those with an eclectic hankering may jump on a 'Houdini' or 'Alice Cooper' or find this found money the passage to finally grab a superb-condition Cirqus Voltaire, Lord of the Rings or The Addams Family. Finally those who are skilled at how to stretch a dollar may find 8K is sufficient to secure not one but TWO Stern titles at current market, or hold on for a KINGPIN announcement.

    As of today I am myself torn between the CGC re-make of ATTACK FROM MARS, Stern's BATMAN66 or JJP's THE WIZARD OF OZ. (Love DIALED IN too which I'd also consider now) Will hopefully get all of those but thinking now of the sudden windfall. How about YOU?

    Quoted from DK:

    I'd buy a really nice Gottlieb Outer Space and spend the extra 7.5K on restoring/fixing the rest of my pins..

    Love it MeNaCeFiRe! That is a creative way to use the money!!!

    Quoted from Coz:

    Dialed in. Most fun I’ve ever had in pinball. Wife’s favorite as well, so it’s a win-win

    Mmmmmm!!! Must have that one as well!! I so agree with you Coz!!

    Quoted from jawjaw:

    For new pins, nothing matches DI. I wasn't sure what to think of it until I played one. It just blew me away. It feels like a classic B/W pin but in a premium package. Shoots all felt great, gameplay was pretty easy to figure out, loads of great details, world under the glass thing, and just fun to play. Name is kind of dumb/misleading but whatever. Wish it wasn't so expensive but at least you are getting a lot of features for the money. Can't help to think of a bunch of other great games you can get for much less.

    Hard to argue JawJaw!!

    Quoted from erak:

    I would wait and see what's next. If CGC announces MB that would be what I would get.
    Or still wait till the New Elvira 3 is shown.
    Batman 66 is a complete fail in my opinion. And I really wanted it to be good. It was my dream theme. Now I don't want to play or even look at it.

    Erak, did you have a problem with the actual game layout or the incomplete code? If the latter I am told on the active BATMAN66 threads here at Pinside that the issues have now been resolved.
