6k budget. What you buying?

Godzilla, no contest.
Or Bond

Bond for 6k you think? Loved it when I played at your Greg
Stranger Things Pro, hopefully with UV kit.
You never know in today's market but yeah might be a struggle.
True, you never know. Love Bond but IMDN or TWD gets my vote.
Ninja Eclipse with the current 10% off code comes in just slightly over budget. Seems like a lot of pin for the money.

If you hadn’t had it twice already I’d say JP but if you’re wanting something new I’d go with FF, miss mine already.
You really need to put a few games on it before purchasing it... there's not many shots to it so it might get boring fairly quickly...
Godzilla and Rush both excellent value at that price. Rush probably comes in at a saving on 6k.
Maybe a Guardians of the Galaxy? Or perhaps a John Wick, if you like a fast pin and the direction of the new code (and can source one at your price)

I loved having IMDN and wouldn't be totally against another if I couldn't find something new (to me). TWD is just so ugly I can't get on board with owning it, great game though.
Nah absolutely not, 2 older/cheaper games could work potentially although I do lean towards newer Sterns.
Yeah do have a soft spot for the deep code of modern Sterns too, would say Godzilla, but seems like that's almost too easy a suggestion.
Couple of decent Spider-Mans have popped up recently, that's rated up there with the newer games, Avatar in the sale section looks a decent buy. Would leave plenty in the kitty for a companion.

Cheers Kev. I do like Spidey I just played it to absolute death when I had it. I did have a peak at that Avatar but the theme is just so bad (for me)! Kinda fancy another Sopranos but it'd need to be super nice

Nice Sopranos a few weeks back, but price was silly, think it eneded up selling for something more realistic on eBay tho
£5850 with the code pinfest2025I’m seriously thinking about getting Legends of Valhalla, at £6.5K for a limited edition NIB Pin is crazy. The reviews are very good (Gonzo’s review is very interesting), seems like a no brainer.
Hopefully theres gonna be one at pinfest as I might be tempted by that one too.
Really, wow I think that may have sealed it. Message to self, must find a hiding place for it when it arrives

Nice Prem was just reduced to 7.5 before selling so I think so or very close
Rumours of another Star Wars being released, but I'd let my Pro go for under your budget.
Mando, Rush and TMNT pros will all be under £6k if you want a modern Stern. Of these I’d go for turtles as it was a right **** kicker and love the theme- satisfying when you get a decent score on it. Rush is underrated and plays better than all of these but the cab artwork on the pro version really lets it down- Rush Premium would trump TMNT but have no clue how much they go for. Mando third place- great sound package, assets, use of weapons as perks- didn’t like the. Layout as much
OP
OP
I had a single game on a Star Wars and it seemed alright. **** well but obviously I had no idea what I was doing. Not a bad shout. I did wonder whether Black Knight 3 might be a goer. It's a shame Munsters is so shallow as the theme etc works for me.
I've owned Mando, forgot to add it to my my sig. Good game although I felt like the shots were too close and it was VERY Dwight multiplier heavy. Rush I can't abide purely because I don't think I'd ever heard of them before the pin!
Oh and Turtles. Good theme. Trouble is too many pinball friends I trust think I'll likely dislike it
I have a Sword of Rage Pro here on loan at the moment and I love it. It has this mod installed and it makes it a much more balanced shooter.

I’m honestly not sure why I didn’t get one before. Not looking forward to it leaving at all.

Never seen that mod before, so that altera one of the ramps to return to the left?
And yeah BK3 looks awesome, love the music and call outs.

Rush Pro, with Expression Lights and expression speaker lights, upgraded speakers to still come in just shy of £6k is (in my biased opinion) is incredible value for a newer Stern Spike 2.
Absolute travesty that later music Pros can't get the expression lights.

When the Empire Strikes Back pin comes out - is a SW premium closer to £6k? The hyper loop makes the game much more impressive than the Pro
