Hi Guys...I'm close to buying 2 more machines from a group of 4 but I can't make up my mind. In the past I'd likely have bought all 4 but this time the 2 I buy will head straight to my basement and thats it!! I've been valiantly searching for a mint G and R but the ones out there aren't as nice as the one I had and are overpriced IMO. The 4 are IJ, Tommy, RBION, and Theatre of Magic. All are in perfect shape. I've owned all except TOM. I'm obviously leaning towards TOM and IJ, but I recall really liking the play of Tommy and I recall finding RBION a real underrated Stern. Anyhow I'm sure most of you will vote for IJ and TOM but I'm interested in everyones opinions!!  Thanks in advance..JIM

I personally like all 4 of these games, but if the price is right I would lean towards the IJ and ToM.

if the prices are right, buy all 4. there are alot of members here looking for a rbion including ME

my choices would be the ij and tom

As usual I'll buck the trend and go with RBION and Tommy.

I don't like TOM at all, I could never own one I just find it so repetitive.  

IJ and Tommy are pretty close they are similar in they both have good mode integration and fun multiballs, but I give the nod to Tommy because I like the layout better.

I like RBION better then all 4 machines as I find that game really fun to play and challenging.  

I have always wanted an IJ, but i do have an RBION, and it's my favorite machine in a 6 game lineup, really fun
good sounds, great multiball, neat magnet effects,

I'd go for IJ and RBION

I would vote for IJ for sure. Aside from being fun and a great theme, you know if you HAD to get rid of it it retains its value better than most and would be gone in a hurry.

I like ToM as well, I haven't played it enough to say it was a keeper. Some have criticized having to 'hit the trunk, hit the trunk, hit the trunk, ...' constantly. Perhaps a little easy but great looking and sounding game, imho. It, too, would go quickly.

I played Tommy once but wasn't blown away.Can't really comment on it.

I played RBION a couple times. I would like to play it more. Seems like an underrated pin.  

All good pins. Get them all and sell me the RBION

Get IJ and TOM, DE and Stern sucks!

I would go for Rbion and Tommy in an heart beat!

Rbion's layout and Tommy's flow

ToM and RBION

IJ never did it for me....and overpriced IMO
Tommy....almost bought one once, but if I had the chance to buy from that list, it wouldn't be in the top two

They're all supposed to be good pins. If I was you, I'd at least get Theatre of Magic as it would at least have a "new pin" feel to it (since you've never owned it before).

Don't listen to the jokers who are saying "buy all 4" and stick with your plan.  Buying all of them leads to the dark side

Unless the deal is that much sweeter if he takes all four...  No sense leaving 2 behind if the seller is willing to make the deal attractive. (that's how I ended up buying 8 'A' list pins in one shot)

tommy, i know where you can find one too. My basement.
