Dean,

Being serious - pinball collectors are just like herion addicts - they just keep looking for their next hit.

Mate I have been a 'pinball junkie' for THIRTY ONE f**kING YEARS and still get the buzz and the hit when I pick up a new game.

Also the more you get the more you want.....

Was out in the gamesroom tonight, had the music pumping (Motley Crue, Alice Cooper and Metallica) and just put together a new order from PBR, started ANOTHER rebuild, drunk some beers and it still gives me the kick it did all those years ago.

So to answer your question - mate your f**ked 

[Retropin]

LOL- Tony, i know about your addiction - this year you put me to shame and i had a BUMPER year for pinball expansion!

My games room is full, as is the garage. i now have 2 pins in the front room - for this to happen the dining table had to go. I still reckon i could fit 4 more in the front room before i start to look at the spare bedroom. After that, its my bedroom.

There is so much furniture that doesnt get used - all is a waste of pinball space.

But thats only the machines.. what about the schematics, the spares, the flyers, the tool space to fix em...

...im not married by the way..

( not anymore that is)

Youre right, I have had machines since my early teens and never out grown it.  I love being f**ked, ove the hit when you get a new one, love fixing em, playing em Love everything about em.

I feel everyone's pain... and it NEVER ceases.. It will get worse, and you can always blame other collectors..

I feel like I'm a Pinball Conservationist.. I HATE seeing Pinballs "go to waste" in people's garage's etc... I LOVE taking the machines out of neglected households and working on them...

It is an addiction.

Between you and I Dean, we own almost 1% of the **total build run** of Asteroid Annie... Who knows how many are left - we might have 2% or more of the surviving games!!!

I guess that means we must be addicts to have gathered such a measurable percentage of the whole run of a particular game! :)

[Mr Pinbologist]

Well i guess im not a "collector" in the true sense of the word, as i'm not actively looking for more machines. That is especially true when you consider that in 20 years that i've been into pinballs i only have 12 machines! Having said that though, anything that comes my way thats a little bit interesting (and the right price) i'll have it, and there are several games i would love to own.

Im sure many of you can relate when i say i can always find somewhere to put "just one more"! As it is now i have 11 in my garage (can still JUST get my car in there ) and one in my lounge room, my home made "Vortex" machine, which i will post pics of soon, though it will be moved to a new home in the not too distant future.

Most pictures I post here are only HALF the garage...

Gotta love late-night pinball - just topped both the Dirty Harry and the Mousin' Around, one game on each, straight after the other.
