Pinball Lifecycle
- Thread starter FastEd
- Start date
I have sold my pool table, gotten rid of my gaming computer desk and foosball table in the past. I have also rearranged my 11' x 22' room three times over the years going from 4 pins to 9 pins to 10 pins and even managed to squeeze in an 11th. Here are the ones that have come and gone since I started in this hobby:

I'm pretty content with my current line up and should realistically be at 10 instead of 11 pins. There are two games which require a bit of shuffling to slide the glass out in order to work on the games but thank god for these EZglide nylon leg levelers from Marco which make it very easy.

9 games right now with a 10th on order, and at that point I'm out of room. Then I need to either define more pinball space elsewhere in the house/basement, or start moving games out.
I think I have decided upon a constant mix of #1, #2 and #3.
I enjoy rotating pins, and my current cycle is #3 for a few more weeks.
It is currently time to make a bit of room for the folded pins deserving legs asap.

I'm at 2 with 20 (and one on order), but not maxed out by any means. I'm not interested in increasing my collection further, but that isn't to say I won't buy something if it peaks my interest.

I could probably list every game I've bought and sold over the last 14-15 years but I'm just too damn lazy.

I'm at a mix of 1 and 2 depends on how the house layout goes once the renos are done. Currently sitting at 10 pins all currently in heated storage for a few more months.
I'm maxed out right now. Garage has games, rec room has games, dining room has games, kitchen has games. Just talked to the bank last week about buying a new house so hopefully I find something a little more suited to the hobby. Then I will be back at #1.

2.
I wonder if mike has records of my collection.
I've been thru 18 pins since 2011, with seven remaining.

I'm at 3 currently, but more due to life circumstances than lack of interest. There will come a time when I'll add to what I have again.

LoL, nice strategygoomba said:I'm at 1 and moving slowly. My strategy is to see which games Mike keeps or brings back multiple times, and then go for those

You are doing well so far with Demolition Man and Judge Dredd
I've owned World Cup Soccer '94 before and to be honest wouldn't mind having one back if I had the space because people who came over really enjoyed playing it.goomba said:I'm at 1 and moving slowly. My strategy is to see which games Mike keeps or brings back multiple times, and then go for those
I like this strategy too!
I'm definitely at 1. My thoughts are changing on pins collecting. My initial thought was to collect all the nostalgic pins that I grew up with, but, I'm finding that the modern pins are a lot more fun. I'm going to be more open minded, play more pins and collect pins that I really enjoy playing!
That's not to say I won't be buying any nostalgic pins!
