I think the point of the poll is "if" you were gifted $7000 and had to spend it on A), B) or C) - which would you pick.

A) Walking Dead PRO
B) Reconditioned Addams Family or equivalent (Not fully restored - $7000 won't be enough). Scared Stiff would be around the same price in really good condition.
c) Lesser combination of titles - WCS94 AND Fishtales / Striker Extreme AND Playboy etc etc..

I would pick "B" - Easily.

Why ? - And I have not played a Walking Dead - I'm a fan of the show and I love the pinball artwork and theme.

Price. In 5 years time, a Walking Dead Pro will be worth less than an Addams or Scared Stiff. If the price of a Walking Dead LE was $7000, then we have parity. If I wanted to sell an Addams in 5 years time I would have no trouble whatsoever as it is a popular and desirable title. If the market trend continues, I'd make a profit on the resale. Can't say that with a Stern.

I'll get my chance to play a Walking Dead soon. I'd never own one (any Stern) as they are too expensive.
