Gav is right - some of the BEST and most sought after titles are NON licenced.

Getaway HSII, MM, CV, Junkyard, etc etc

I am not a big movie fan, I rarely go to the movies. I don't understand Hobbit, Lord of the Rings or any of the other myriad of shit they keep churning out to waste peoples time......I am not a buyer of ANYTHING that is themed, it doesn't sway me at all.

I couldn't care if a new Hobbit pin sold for $2K - I wouldn't buy it 'cause I have no idea what the theme is about AND I'm not interested in finding out.

Of those only CV and MM are worth buyng and hold any value and even CV is on the decline..MM is a great game but way over-priced..maybe toss in TOM and TOTAN but those two are losing ground also in the $$ they once went for.  

Looks like you will have plenty of cash to save for older non themed pins or other pursuits in the future, can't see any non themed new pins any time soon, if at all.
If you were to start a new pinball company today and build only original themes I bet you would go broke quick smart.

The kids of today who are the future of pinball sales in the future if pinball is to survive will have little or no interest in games they can't associate with their childhood...ie movie themes etc until they really catch the bug and even then it is still up for debate.
Unfortunatley you are in the vast minority.

Btw, I think Hobbit is a crap theme also.
