Which Pin would you choose of the following titles:

And why?

Sorcerer
Space Shuttle
Solar Fire
Big Game
Flash
Laserball
Street Fighter II
Firepower II.
 
Assuming they are all the same price, Streetfighter 2...it's a DMD game, newer and i'm a fan of Gottleib System 3's. Seems like it'd be a good fit for an arcade, esp. if you have the arcade game. I'm not much of a fan of the older games.
 
Sorcerer or Space Shuttle.

I've never played SFII, but I bet it isn't near as bad as some make it out.

I am leaning toward the Sorcerer. The artwork is amazing on that one. Either that or Flash, as that is the only one I played from that list BITD. But keep your personal choices coming. These are all for sale from the same guy and he shops them all before selling. These are the ones currently ready for sure. I am in no big hurry, either, so I could wait for the list to grow.
 
Personally, none of those. Unless they were dirt cheap.

But, if I had to take one it would be whichever one is the newest Williams. Space Shuttle probably is the most popular of the bunch. And, yeah, that Sorcerer does look cool.
 
I'd take Space Shuttle first and Firepower II second.

Honestly, I love Street Fighter II the arcade game, but I've found the pinball machine to be an absolute mess.
 
Ive only played Space Shuttle, and I liked it so I would choose that one.
 
There's a nice sorcerer close to me and they want 500CAN. I could probably talk him down if I wanted that pin. Good luck on the new aquisition.

I would buy Space Shuttle all day long before Sorcerer. Not sure on price as I've never seen a Space Shuttle around here for sale before...
 
Holy overpriced retail Batman! I didn't realize you were such a sucker Phet? Those games better be fully restored and clearcoated for those prices. A simple shop job is NOT worth that price.
 
I'd go with the SFII if I was adding to my current collection. It is one of the few pins I am looking to add to the collection.

If I was just looking for a pin that is fun and attractive I'd go with the Sorcerer.

In all honesty, I continue to read here about how pins are "worth this", or "you should be able to get it for that", but I have never seen pins in my area for cheap. Ever. I had to ship the pin I got because the price was awesome, but after shipping I was right up there with what I probably would have paid if I picked it up somewhere around here.

I wish I knew where to find all the cheap pins around here...
 
I friggin' LOVE my Space Shuttle.

I think Sorcerer does look kickass, though. I went to look at one recently. I was very, very excited, because I also really like the art on it. As I approached it, the cabinet looked fine and the backglass looked great, but then I saw the PF and my heart sank. The whole bottom half the PF was REDONE with some stupid looking castle. On top of that, the whole PF was coated with some kind of dark yellowish "clear" coat. It was a NIGHTMARE. :(

For a second choice, I'd go for SFII. I've had lots of chances to grab that one cheap, but never went for it because of the terrible art on the backglass. I read up on it and it sounds like the game play would be interesting and I'm into SF, so it seems like a good fit.

You've played all of those games?

The only pins you're going to see for good prices consistently are pins that are not working. Pinball machines are not cheap. That's just reality. Especially shopped and working ones. If you want deals on pinball machines you need to buy them broken. There are plenty of deals on broken machines... but that's because they're pretty specialized and difficult to fix in many cases.

If it makes you feel any better I would like to know where to find all of these cheap pins as well. I buy cheap pins all the time... but they're always old and busted.
