AC/DC BIBLE. Got me back into pinball after a 30 year break. First NIB purchase. Love the game and the collectible factor.
If you don't remember the 70s then you were on drugs.
If you remember playing pinball in the 70s you were having a good time.
If you don't remember anything,  then read about it here,

Off topic discussion about the quality of reproduction ramps etc split to its own thread http://aussiepinball.com/index.php?topic=14524.0

I remember reading your thread, your excitement on getting WNBJM was contagious.

It has to be my Empire Strikes Back. It's my first and favorite and started the ball rolling (groan) on a really great hobby. I remember getting the Trading Post early on a Thursday morning I left work and drove from Campbelltown to Southwest Rocks to view it. I couldn't say no, it was Star Wars and only $200 even if it did weigh half a ton. Little did I realise it would take over 15 years to get it working correctly but it's still my favorite.

It doesn't hurt to ask..

Wife and I are big trekkies so STLE was our happiest purchase.

We have watched many of the tv series and movies together and thanks to generous relatives, have the Dinky models of the Enterprise and Battlecruiser. No not as toppers although we did think about it. Lol
