Adam,
I did enjoy my D.E Simpsons. Being a huge Simpsons fan it was great.
However with the possibility of the Stern Simpsons being available again I'd be saving for one of those NIB!...
Ahhh yes, MartyJ. Your machine on ebay was what re-kindled my pinball flame. I still kick myself for not acting faster. On the other hand, I bought two fun machines since then.
I played the Stern Simpsons machine at Bumper last month and out of all the machines there, it was the only one of the modern pinball machines that left a lasting impression. If I had the dollars, I'd love to own a Stern Simpsons machine, but I'm a man of nostalgia and need to own a Simpsons D.E. I'm also a huge Simpsons fan, so it would go nicely with the memorabilia I've collected over the years.
Yeah, mine finished up going quite cheap!
But thats the nature of the beast with eBay. The new owner was a Simpsons nut so it went to a good home...
