I'm downsizing my insane rate of collecting and I'm going to start selling some pins/arcades. I'm keeping this as my core of pinball machines:

- Bride of Pinbot
- Twilight Zone
- Jurassic Park
- Lord of the Rings
- Simpsons Pinball Party
- The Simpsons (DE)

Everything else is fair game to go, and I need to update my sig as I just sold my Hurricane and Jackbot pins. I want to add one more pin to the collection as a keeper, and right now I'm not seeing anything else in my signature as being that pin (Taxi and The Getaway were close). I'm thinking right now that Indiana Jones (Williams) is the game to finish off the lineup. It plays differently than anything I have, and it's a game that is generally liked by pinheads and newcomers alike. If not IJ, any other suggestions? Here's what I've eliminated, for what it's worth.

- Addams Family - I love it, but it's too similar to TZ and I prefer TZ anyway. Great pin, but would be a little redundant next to TZ.
- Spider-Man (Stern) - Was going to go with this, but I'd be a bit Stern heavy with three in the lineup. It's a fun game, but I can wait until it's much cheaper to come back to it a few years from now.
- Theater of Magic - I like this game, but it's never felt completely satisfying to me for some reason.

Probably since you can left-flipper the center stair case ad-infinitum to get huge scores... i think my best was 5.xx billion, with 2x grand finales... heh.
 
Few suggestions of pins that I really like:

Funhouse: Can't go wrong with a nice funhouse. One of my faves and a classic for sure

Whitewater: best ramps & lots of modes

Attack from Mars: Wicked funny humor and a great looking machine

Tales from the Crypt: One of the first pins that got me hooked. Affordable, good theme, 6 ball multiball, shaker motor..

Tommy Pinball Wizard:Blinders, cool music, cool multiball

Scared Stiff: Amazing looking machine, nice sound package

Tons more pins out there for sure..damn hard decision.

I would prolly axe one of the simpsons games myself. Seems like if you are limiting the size of the collection I would not get two of the same theme.

I agree with the posters above Funhouse would be cool if you want a non DMD or Elvira and the Party Monsters or Taxi.

I think Creature from the black lagoon and Terminator 2 are fun games too. You didn't List Star Trek the next gen that is always popular.

So many to choose from really, I am super jealous of your collection well done.
 
Scared stiff is a nice pin. I've had mine for 3 years and never get tired of it. Plenty of features, great light show and humorous commentary.
 
Meh. You should just give up on this whole pinball thing, really Its not worth your bother... Just bring your pins up here i will be a freind and take them off your hands... ;)

But really your collection is awesome. I am super jealous
