I have Stargate and LOTR. I love both pins. I am a fan of the deep rule
sets on both. To add one more to the collection what pins would you guys
look at? I also appreciate the fun vs. price value of Stargate.

I also have a stargate and would love a LOTR...
Doctor Who might be a good third one at a reasonable price ?

...and THAT could be my desert island trio right there.

LOTR, TZ and TSPP

Two Sterns and a WIlliams!

I think The Shadow or STTNG would be a great third pin in your collection. They both have good flow and a rule set with some depth. Either pin would round out your collection nicely.

My picks depend on if you are a Lawlor fan. If so, then based on price
lowest to highest the third could be either ES, WW, FH, or TZ.

ES and WW are literally mirror images on layout and good for the average
player. (ES has the shaker and Cali /Nevada fault map, WW the blower)

FH is a great family pin and good for beginners.

TZ is as advanced player's game and loaded with everything.

Thanks for the replies. I have been considering a few of your
suggestions. I need to find some places to play those around Louisville.

Ironman, Getaway:HS2, ACDC, or NF. You need a super fast playing game
for your lineup :)

Tron LE, TZ and IJ...already have those. MB, MM and AFM, those are on
my bucket-list.


Believe it or not, POTC is another pin I own and play extensively. That
pin really grows on you.

I really have thought about EM machines but don't even know where to
begin.

Others might tell you differently, but I would choose one of the
better Gottlieb Wedge Heads, you can't go wrong, plus they hold their
value. Unload it and get your money back if you are not satisfied.

Good-Luck on your quest for another pin :)

Old school advice. Learn to understand and enjoy pinball instead of
being sold pinnacle ball-junk.

Hi Frodd,

Whhen you pull your head out of your sweaty ass, how about
bringing out a Solar Shitty for this guy. Come on Frodd, sell this
guy a pin!

I would say that I am learning a lot about how to understand and enjoy
pinball with my current "pinnacle ball-junk".

I used to work on my dad's camaro and enjoy the simplicity of the car
minus all of the fancy computer brains. However, I am not one that will
jump on the "technology ruins everything" bandwagon.
