Time for a new machine.

[monkeyboy]

So I currently only have a Rocky machine but I'm hooked. I think it's time for a new one. I could afford a 007 now or should save up a bit for a Star Wars? What do you think? Or any other suggestions? What's the best Pachinko?

[luckydog]

theme is everything, if you like the theme odds are you will like the machine.

if you can't wait like the rest of us get the 007,

but, if you are patient go for one you really---really want .

I love my Looney Tunes Machine...so you could try that one...

Personally, Ultraman is one of my favorites.

i agree with luckydog about getting one with a theme you like.i own a julie pachinko mainly because i also collect pinball machines,and i enjoy it very much.i am also in the process of getting a top gun because i like the f-14 theme.

Another thing that might help you decide is "what can you get?". Not everything is available now, so it may help to find out what's out there for sale and then work with that list.

I agree to definitely get a theme that you like and you should love it. My first pachinko was a gift, Fierce Animal King. I love the animation and music and so does our 21 month old. Second pachinko was Star Wars and it's a great machine too.

As others have said, it's really important to get a pachinko based on a Theme you like, that way you get extra playability

My first Pachinko was Star Wars and i thought it was awesome but it helps that the whole family are very much into Star Wars anyway

Saying that, I haven't bought a Pachinko that I have ever been disappointed with, maybe that's because I don't rush and buy the first one I see or it could be my super duper taste

It could be a good idea to draw up a list of ones that REALLY interest you, sort of a 'wanted list', if it's not possible to go try one out, then do a little research here at PT and check what's actually for sale at the moment

Good Luck!!

Theme can help, but out of my 12, Star Wars is the only one that I got for the theme..the rest I got because they looked cool.. and I've loved all of them!! I guess I'm more likely not to want something because of the theme than to want it for its theme!!

All that said I thing all pachinkos are cool!! My advise would be get what you can when you can because the one you wait for may never be available to you!!

Never judge a book by its cover.

I've just seen the new Star Wars machine here on Pahitalk. I think I'll get to the back of a very long line for that one. How long until they become affordable?

[fronzdan]

Never?

For that Block Anime cartoon version ??? I'll take The Mummy Returns Pachinko from slot pachinko

[pachinkoball76]

I would like to have Bruce Lee Game of Death Pachinko. But It's impossible to me now.
