Well don't laugh, I figured I'm only going to live once so what the heck, the machine was a floor room model, with a 2 year warranty, I paid $4k

I could never get the bar smell out of it plus I did not enjoy the game play. After much thought decided to go with a newer model figuring I have room for 1. So my Christmas present will be here Friday its a Lord of the Rings Pin.

Wow, that sucks you had so much trouble with the T2. I never did like that game either. Drains were way too easy, and I honestly don't remember ever accomplishing anything on it. I might have to try it out in pinmame to see if I can do better.
Cool on the LOTR though. BTW, can I have some money? ;) ;D
JeepMonkey:
shardian - I would never own a pin with Alec Baldwin on it.
DM - There was a nice LOTR pin for sale around here for $3k. If I hadn't been in Iowa for work I would have gone to check it out. Let us know how you like the game play.
ChadTower:
Another quality but lower price DMD pin is Judge Dredd. Really good game but doesn't seem to command the A list prices because of the theme. Demolition Man falls here too.
Really, the first decision to be made is what era pin you want, how much you want to spend, and then we can suggest titles from that range. Right now there are just too many to keep tossing them out there.

I spent 3 to 4 months looking for a machine, nib is impossible to find unless you want to pay $6k plus. I found several that have been on routes for $3400 - $3600. BMI gaming had one, that the customer purchased new in the box, 1 of the hobbits was missing a head, so the machine was sent back to bmi, which 2 weeks later the hobbit is no longer headless so I purchased as a demo model with 2 year warrenty. The money is gone now
