Wait, what? ...are you the same guy that just sold a STTNG last week? Everyone has a different definition of "want", I guess.

tim.sanderson said:I've thought about this a bit over the past few days, and still have not been able come up with a solid three.
I've only owned 2 pins, basically there are still no pins (SS or DMD) that I wouldn't love to have at home. However, a couple that pop into mind (in no particular order) are:
Batman Dark Knight
Fish Tales
I finally got to play a Gottlieb Street Fighter pin this weekend in Quebec. If I can find one for the same price as my R911 I might be tempted to buy it.

They're $3299 ...this whole story has caused quite a stir on RGP. Here's what we know based on someone who went to Costco to play it.
The following features have been removed:
-Joker reveal mech (Joker's still there though...but just always visible)
-Bridge teeter-totter (replaced w/ return ramp)
-Upper mini-playfield/divertor (ramp shot always returns to left inlane now)
-Joker drop target
-Spotlights

Man...what a bizarre thing for Stern to do. Collectors won't want it, and it's probably still too expensive for the average-joe making an impulse buy at Costco. ...and then you risk that average-joe finding out they bought a shitty cheapo version, not the real one...getting pissed, and returning it to Costco.

I'm updating my list too actually from just being Tspp haha. I'm now including tommy which seems more in my price range for the time being and I have a feeling the blinders would be an awesome drunk time when I have people over.

mwong168 said:I believe Stern only made two cost cutting "Costco" edition pins with Ironman and Dark Knight only. Here are two articles from pinballnews.com that talk about them and point out all the differences between these "Costco" aka "Standard" editions compared to the "Pro" which we all know.
The Dark Knight Lite
Ironman Lite

brad808 said:Wow that's very detailed, thanks for that. The lite version does look like it would be disappointing after playing the full featured one.

No idea on price, but more than you'd probably pay privately... plus HST. ANyway, just thought I'd mention it.
Chris Bardon said:It's funny going back and reading that after what's happened since then. These days, the Costco version of BDK would have been the $5k Pro, and the regular version would have been a 7k premium/LE.
It is probably a well discussed topic, but one that, to my knowledge, has not been started on this site in its own thread.
Everyone is at different stages with their collection...some are near done, some are just starting out, some say they are done but are clearly not because they still keep buying! We all have a few machines on our radar that we would HAVE TO seriously consider buying if they became available, even at the expense of selling something else in the collection or spending a few weeks in the doghouse because we dipped into the family vacation savings account. Please list, discuss and/or justify the TOP THREE PINS on your radar that you don't currently own are MUST HAVES for your collection.
I could load up my list with a Medieval Madness and a Cactus Canyon, but realistically, I don’t think I’ll ever have the desire (nor nerve) to spend that much on one machine in the near future, so I will keep my top three list a little more realistic to my means. I guess it is nice to have pipe dreams, but I’m going to stick to machines within reach for "instant gratification".
I’m sure our local “enablers” will be watching this thread in order to turn these “Top Three Must Haves” into reality...so choose carefully...![/QUOTQuick silver . Mint condition . I'm looking to sell and accepting offers.
