People give ToM a bad rap.  It can be repetitive with the trunk if that's all you aim for.  When dialed in right, it's a fast fast game.  Hitting the trunk becomes a dangerous shot as it could be a STDM shot.  The center ramp is extremely dangerous as it's often a STDM if it doesn't make it.  I love mine.  It's fast everything about it is gorgeous.

Get IJ and TOM, DE and Stern sucks!

Had to check the avatar. For a moment there I thought I had already posted.

TOM's cool. Totally different theme and the trunk is unique. Maybe why it gets so much attention.

I would say ToM and Tommy. IJ doesn't do anything for me, and RBION was just kind of *meh*.

I'd go for IJ and TOM.  

I don't know if you'll have much luck finding an IJ in such nice shape as the one you sold me though.  

For a pinhead like me who tends to like the EMs and a few SS games, I found the ToM and IJ a lot of fun. In the next few years I will explore the possibility of getting a ToM after I complete my present wish list.

I know of an IJ shoeguy can buy BACK from a pinhead in Calgary for about 10k.  yeah, that's about what it took to get it working 100% and nice.  Let's hope if you pick up an IJ, it's in as 'nice' a shape as you sold to him.  Grrrrr.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..so true!!!    

I'm going to have to go with TOMMY.  This is 1 of 2 machines that I have never lost interest in.... and have had for quite a while.  I can't see ever parting with my TOMMY.  Game play is awesome, sound/music it awesome, look is awesome... I love it.

IJ is great too, but I find that if your not 100% into the movie, then you'll loose interest over time.

Never played a TOM so can't speak for that one.

RBION is a good PIN, but I don't think it achieves the euphoria that TOMMY gives me.

Thanks everyone for the input...right now I'm leaning towards Tommy and TOM. IJ I owned for a while previously,and I'll patiently wait for Bish to sell it back to me.....RBION I'll hopefully pick-up later. There's still a chance I'll get 3, although another person in my house isn't too fond of that idea...

I have always wanted a RBION, but only played it once, briefly and recall it keeping my ball busy most of the time - wante dit mostly for the toy and gragging rights because hardly anybody's played it.  But I'd say Tommy and IJ would be the ones that I would enjoy playing most in a permanent collection, and Tommy has a gameroom collectability factor for people our age that makes up for what it might lack in game-play.

Precisely why I got out of the buying and selling.

Quoted from Menace

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

D

I agree, all 4 are good games.  If you are a more serious player, IJ and RBION would be the ones.  TOM is great eye candy and Tommy is a classic theme.

Bah...just buy all 4 and resell the two you like least.
