Wow Nino now i understand why you were so keen on unloading that Container. I was excited just to help but with 3 pins waiting i would have been like you aswell
I've been pushing Mark / Childs for quite some time to chase older pins. Once I saw some "early" photos - I recognized the games and basically asked if I could "reserve" them - pending availability. I also helped "twist" Mark's arms to keeping a "lookout" for them.
It also helps if you give the guys a list of what you may be after. It helps them make the business decisions based on demand. I always knew that a 40 footer and 20 footer full of oldies was going to "walk out the door" - and I was right. I basically asked Mark - If you have title X, Y, Z - Grab them for me.
If someone would have told me four years ago I'd have these games in my collection - I would have laughed my head off. All I did was ask.
Yes - I sweated as the FIRST Haunted house was an empty body !
The SECOND was complete and sits in my garage.
