Being it a new year, just thought I would start a thread on what pins would like to acquire in 2009. My collection is pretty well complete, but I miss No Fear. If anyone has a near mint NF let me know.
What pins are you guys looking to add to your collection in 2009?
It has been scientifically proven that light is faster than sound. That is why some people seem brilliant........until they open their mouth!
I would take any good more recent pin project on just for the fun of fixing it. By "good" I mean really bad electronically/mechanically but cosmetically recoverable without losing ones shirt.
#1 Mary Shelly's Frankenstein #2 Batman Forever #3 007
Pins : Vids:
Demolition Man Robotron Mini High Speed Make Trax Mini Whirlwind Sinistar Mini Apollo 13 Jrok WIlliams Multi Mini Road Show 1069 in 1 big mofo Batman Forever
Gone: Spy Hunter, TMNT, Raven, Mr Mrs Pac, Totem, Torch, Coney Island, Escape From the Lost World, Lights Camera Action, Pinbot , Police Force, Special Force, JPTLW, Baywatch, Maverick, South Park, FIRE! x2, F14 Tomcat, Twister
I don't know what i'd like, if i picked up another machine i'd have to get rid of one in my collection as i only have the space for 6.
I thought i would like a Pinball2000 but the more i play the beat to mess one at the bowling alley, the more i think i'd get bored of it.
I guess i could still enjoy getting an Addams Family, or something of the like, i really honestly don't know

I must admit it is hard to say which I want specifically. I have recently been initiated to the world of EMs and I find them to be pleasant to play. Some that I have played were OK, and some surprised me, like SquidVicious' Centigrade 37.
But honestly, I would settle with any pin I get in exchange for clearcoating services. Preferably nearly dead... I like a challenge.
I do miss Big Game, and I would like a couple more classic Sterns and/or Ballys, but I would settle for anything at this point.
-The Getaway: High Speed II!! -Spider-Man -F-14 Tomcat -Guns N' Roses -Lord of the Rings -Twilight Zone
-Medieval Madness! -Indiana Jones (Williams) -Star Trek: The Next Generation -Champion Pub -Terminator 3 -Congo -Johnny Mnemonic -Tales of the Arabian Nights
I'd like to find a nice Meteor to go with my Galaxy. As well, a project Wizard!, Capt. Fantastic, or Bobby Orr Power Play. And if I win the lottery, a Spiderman. Go 2009! Daniel
I was hoping to add to the collection, not subtract. Didn't think you were a Star Trek fan! I thought NF was a keeper for you.
How else am I going to memorize that damn video sequence... Pinmame? NF is going to be impossible to replace for condition. That's the main sticking point. They do come up often enough, just would never take it back in, in lesser condition.
Anybody got BG's on their list? $600 US seems workable.
Current Line Up: Fish Tales, Whitewater, The Simpsons Pinball Party, Lord Of The Rings, Star Trek The Next Generation, Johnny Mnemonic, The Shadow and Big Guns.

I think I'm heading off the beaten track - some older EM's or woodrails - not really picky just want something cosmetically suitable - and ideally something unique either in the theme, flipper size, rotary target, zipper flipper, something neat....
Oh, and a Attack From Mars to keep my wife in the mood
Funny enough she's the one surfing the used ottawa adds for pinballs...
Or a gun game - not sure how to find one. Seen one - for $500 somewhere in the US - but not sure of risk/reward.... - just seems a fun addition...
Whats that Shap pain in my back Oh it's a Knife Complete MAACA-Wacko!

Life is like Pinball!! You never know where you will bounce or where your going but sometimes you have that one amazing shot But on the other hand you have those darn gutter ball where you just get frustrated.
Last years, my pin was STTNG, I add the deals but didn't pull the trigger for money (and girlfriend issues so it still on my list and this year on my list of pin-I-won't-have-money-to-buy-unless-miracle I put ToTAN.
I like a Bobby orr (or another SS Bally like a Mata Hari, I like the chime sound) or Ice Fever or Olympic Hockey A woodrail project A cheap, nice and quick EM project because I need one or two to trade, mine all need a big overhaul before tradind or selling.
I Don't plan to buy a lot this year anyway..

I should pick it up for the BG since I was looking at $250 USD for a NOS one.
Why don't you go and see if that one in Sutton is still there? Backglass looked great (a few years ago). Unfortunately I had a hard time dealing with the business (and someone who was supposed to look into it for me didn't do any better).
Yeah it's a bit of a long shot though whether or not it's still there and at what price would the guy want to make it worthwhile. I definitely will hunt around up there for it the next time I get up that way. Hmmm. Maybe take a drive today for what it's worth.
If someone picks this $500 one up and isn't ridiculously fussy about the glass like I am, the one I have is quite passable and I would pay a reasonable price to upgrade.

I'll let you know, but from the sounds of it, who knows....
In the house: Gottlieb Haunted House Williams Black Knight
Gone: Williams Pinbot Williams White Water Data East Jurassic Park Stern Big Game Gottlieb Force II Williams Laser Cue and some others ....
I wouldn't mind a TSPP or STTNG. This would probably have to wait for next year however, since I'm over the "wife imposed quota" of three games, as two remain folded in the garage. One thing is for certain, having two folded up and rotating them around for play keeps them interesting for a long time... Can't see getting bored of them this way. Happy new year to all....
Yeah sure. I sent him an email. Last time I checked email is free and sometimes you can get bonus spam or an enlightening conversation with a first class A hole out of the deal for no extra charge.
Theatre Of Magic, then one of the following: Whitewater, T2, Bram Stoker's Dracula. It's been forever since my last pin (TAF) so I'm starting to go stir crazy.
