What are the top 10 sought after pinball machines?

<< < (4/10) > >>

lordsaryon:
I've never played it, but on aesthetic value alone, the pinball/video game hybrid of Star wars (with the screen in the back of the field)

ChadTower:
What is a good sized production run?  I see a lot of machines in the 4-5000 range... the TZ is around 15000, I think... but one of my other pins is like 740 or something small.  I really don't know what average is here.

paigeoliver:
Production run is one of those things where you can't say a number is high or low without knowing the company that made it. Goes for pins and vids both.

Gonna talk about vids for a second because I don't know a lot of solid pin numbers.

Any Atari game with a run under 1000 is considered really rare. Even though most COMMON Exidy games had runs in the hundreds.

And it is also a combination of company, and era. Games like Kangaroo (fun, but still sort of a turd), did runs near 10,000 units back in the golden age, while smash hit games in the modern age seldom ever make 5 digit production numbers.

Since everyone else seems to be pitching in:

Theater of Magic
Cirqus Voltaire
Star Trek TNG
Dr Who
Addams Family

Call me a modernist but I like complex pins where the gameplay keeps me entertained in the long haul. I'm a player, not a collector btw.
