You just won the lottery what two pins would you buy?

revenge from mars, elvira and the party monsters, nib tron however it would be totally toen apart and redone ad stern sucks ass.
 
Tell my wife I was buying two pins but buy all of the Williams System 11 pins I did not already have, all of the pins designed by Steve Ritchie and a LOTR.

Hey - it's my money. :D

I would call up Pat Lawlor and have him custom build me a pin for starters.

Then I would pay a crazy amount of money to Steve Ritchie, George Gomez, John P. and all the other top designers to donate their birth mayo. I would then pay a super model to carry the child, who will hopefully be female and really hot. Now my super model with all the magic pinball design genes would grow up and design the super pin. The super pin would be so great it would usher in a new wave of prosperity, end world hunger, establish world peace and fuel exploration of the cosmos.
 
I'd have to go with Williams IJ and Attack from Mars. Two great themes and two games that are easy to learn, but tough to master.
 
This has got me thinking (not that I'm daydreaming at work....) but if you won the lottery and price was no object, how big of a home gameroom would you build? Sure it's easy to think I'd like a few dozen games but at some point the comfortable home gameroom turns into a big cold feeling warehouse. You wouldn't want (I least I wouldn't) to have to take a 5 min walk to get back to the tapper, or need to yell to talk to your buddy on the other side of the room. So how big is too big for a gameroom?

If my wife and I won the lottery we would not move. Seriously. We custom built our house and we love it.

I would, however, have a REALLY nice 3 car garage built with a nice open room above said garage :). I want to do this now but it is expensive, because I want it to match the house (siding and stone work, etc.).

My current plan is to expand my collection to a minimum of 5 and a max (based on available space in the basement) of about 7. A local pinball buddy of mine just got his ninth machine. He throws a party every year, and 8 machines was enough to occupy a lot of people without becoming too impersonalized (if that makes sense).

I love the look of a "row" of machines side-by-side (and thank GOD my wife thinks that's cool, too).

I figure by the time my collection has gotten to 5-7 machines, I'll be well versed enough in repairs and restoration that I'll begin to get just as much enjoyment out of working on them as I do fixing them up. At that point, I will likely keep 6 or so up and running with one project in the workshop.
 
i'd buy some stock into stern and have an opinion on architecting some pinball projects that combine classic elements of the favorite styles.
