If you had your choice which of these pinballs would you chose, Junkyard or South Park? Both are pretty comparable in relation to playfield wear and cabinet wear, so that's not a factor. Also assume the price is the same so which do you chose and why?
 
Even if you like South Park, the voices get old real fast. It's fun for a couple games, then it's just annoying. I'd pickup the Junkyard. - Barry
 
JY

pick the JY, I have one and it get played alot by myself and family and freinds, Everyone likes it. lots of video modes and easter eggs, fun game. SP is ok but not as good in my opinion. Ive owned 3 JY's and love it, the one I kept is a HOU that it mint, under 200 plays when I got it. LED that puppy, that backbox gets hot!
 
The other question that I had was for possible resale/ trade value. Which game would give me better trade bait at a later date?

BTW I do like the older South Parks so the theme to me is great, but worried that it might get old fast as I only have 2 other pins.
 
Junkyard is a thousand times more fun to play. And, Junkyard has a thousand times better resale value.
 
I have owned both. JY is a much better game. JY usually sells for more than SP. Both games are considered 'B' games. The TIME MACHINE mode in JY is cool. It plays functions from other Bally/Williams games, like AFM, CFTBL, etc.

I would have kept my JY but a good trade offer came in for a TZ trade.
 
I'm a big fan of the South Park series. And I could see myself owning the pin someday. But the real question is an early Stern pin vrs a mid level Williams. That isn't even a contest. Williams any day of the week and twice on Sunday. That being said, I can't say I am much of a fan of JY but its still a Williams. Unless you are a big fan of the South Park series, I would say go with the JY.
 
South Park gets old *REAL* quick. JY is a good game, but it is so shallow. In a home environment, you will be defeating Bob in space multiple times in one game in no time.
