1.  Ac/DC at $5950 is a bargain.

2.  Black Knight 2000 would leave Spiderman for dead 20 times over.

3.  Fishtales, Popeye, Getaway HS2, Frankenstein, Last Action Hero, Revenge from Mars, Star Wars Episode 1, Star Trek Next Gen, Congo,
Tales from The Crypt, ARE ALL MUCH BETTER players than Spiderman which is double to triple the price of most of the titles i mentioned IMHO.

4. Blair's Ripleys BION is excellent. Looks like a cracker of a game as well.

OR arrange a pin with Nino if u can get a good price, and you will KNOW it will be a great machine for a very long time.  ^^^

I think patience is the answer.

I always wanted a few machines as I knew that sometimes they would be out of action due to needing maintenance, and if you want to play pinball you still can assuming the others work.

I knew the one machine I really wanted, but it wasn't available, so I purchase a couple of interesting titles as the other machines. Then when the one I really wanted landed I purchased that as well.

However, it sounds like you already have a couple of machines, so I would hold out for the one(s) you really want now.

Oh yeah I really love the look of the Stern Spiderman but have never played one.

It's a great game. Find one and start playing. SM would have to be one of Sterns best.

As for those SS trophy pinnies - any Melbourne dealers getting their hands on these machines??
If not Tim, you might have to cross them off your list. Can't see our fellow members selling them.

SS Trophy machines are often overlooked by dealers. Paragon appears on eBay at least once per year. Fathoms - I've seen one on ebay in 15 years, and it was a shocker. Sometimes you have to look for a "sleeper" from this era, such as a Flash Gordon. Almost as good as a Fathom, and MUCH cheaper. Medusa is also a HARD game from the same era.

Nice to start easter with a good laugh...bk2k is good but nowhere near the player sm is, it's not even in the same league.
Acdc is a fan pin only and a waste of time or $$ for anyone else.

Geez don't waste your pinball money on your wife I don't find other money ^^^ Blairs "Pintoxicated" has some nice machines for sale I know as I've babysat some and played all of them and they are fast and clean and he's only in Albury nice Sunday drive ^^^ and its like going to an arcade.

I have had all my money for my LE AC/DC sitting around for a long while now and even that's starting to burn a whole in my pocket I'm terrible I become impatient and NEED to spend it, also although some dealers are expensive they will always be open to bargain and I've seen some people get some great deals on fully shopped pinball's, if I had some spare money I'd buy Blairs Pinball magic.

Good advice from Peter, I have a PM and it is a game that is nothing short of fantastic. Hard shots, extraordinarily fast - so much so I'm too scared to install the NOS cleared playfield - I'm convinced they installed the factory mylar to slow these down!!
