How to arrange pin garage lineup??
« on: July 21, 2009, 10:37:37 PM »
Ok guys...what do you think???
Ive got enough so called keepers now (Well for this week) so how should I line them up in the garage??
Yeah the HH and BH should be together I guess???
Or should they all be lined up by age???
Or by Manufacturer??
Or all 3 widebods together??
dmds together with the RFM???
here is my list of pins....let me know how you would line them up all in a row???

Genie
Flash
Party Zone
KISS
Firepower
Revenge From Mars
Black Hole
Haunted House
Flintstones
and soon will have a Black knight to fit into the mix as well...

Jeez guys . I wish I had enough pins to even have this problem ...  %.%

I would've thought lining them up in order of manufacture would be good but it may just be a matter of putting whatever looks good next to each other.

Although with you RB you're likely to buy more and sell a few so leave the one's you're likely to sell closest to the door (easier to get out) ...  %.%

Well lets see.............

Line up the Kiss and the Black Knight at my place and then do whatever the hell you want with the rest of them  %$%

Seriously  - I would go ( from rear of garage at yours )

Black Hole, HH, Genie  ( all the wides ) PZ ( with its massive head at the end of the garage ) , Flintstones,  , Black Knight, Flash , Kiss, Firepower, RFM at the front of the garage.............that puts em in physical size order, keeps the DMD's together and will then have similar age SS's together with RFm on its own at the front.

OK, the answer here is simple and I can't believe you didn't do this...........

Seperate themed room for each pin.  You sleep outside in a tent <.>

I have become addicted to say the least and am buying more (much to my wifes displeasure) but my eight year old daughter loves them and thats the excuse i use ofcourse.At almost 40 yrs of age, I hadnt found anything i really loved as a hobby but thought i would buy a Simpsons pinball for my daughter but couldnt find one-early data east..It then grew from there.The funny thing, I never played a pinball ever until 6 months ago.I think Pinball has to be the most interesting hobby out there.Great fun and i have met lots of great people.

Flash
Firepower
Black knight
Black Hole
Haunted House
Genie
KISS
Party Zone
Flintstones
Revenge From Mars

Genie is a wide widebody - HUGE - so it goes in the middle, flanked by the two system 80s. Williams on the right, and then the KISS and DMDs on the left.

RFM is kinda "out of place"..
