 $.$ and  %)% to Aussie Pinball !

20 years is a LONG TIME.. Anyway, the important thing is you are back in the game.

Yes, games are cheaper in the USA. But once you add shipping costs, fees, GST and every other expense that they make up, it ends up be far lesser of a saving unless you buy a container. Games such as Firepower do change hands, and there are lot of games still hidden in sheds and collections. Right time, right place. So really, it is which one is the lesser evil - Risks and costs of importing VS patiently waiting for one to become available ?

If it were only one game - I'd wait until you can actually SEE the machine in person.
