That is one of my Saved Sellers!!

Often seems to have the newer machines, but sometimes has a couple of different price points for the same models, think he may be testing the market,

If the exchange rate wasn't so bad, then it might be worth making an offer...

Super selection this time around

[hennaoj]

Ooh, . But the price is

[hanabi]

Ooh, . But the price is

Well it is still quite new and very rare in the west I think??

I believe there is only one PT member that actually has one...

btw Do you like all kinds of music?? or is it just the Kiss ones that appeal??

Because there is a really really nice Pachinko available in the UK at the moment with a great sound track and a spare cell too

absolutely super starting price and if I didn't already have it I would have snapped it up already

Its rock music that I like (my hubbys fault). I'd love a Def Leppard one but I suspect that doesn't even exist.

I'm holding out for an AC/DC themed one myself with a little animatronic Angus Young

But I suspect it will be a long wait for them to make one just for me

It's an absolute steal £75

I'm keeping an eye on it.

[hennaoj]

Ooh, Lupin is Studio Ghibli.

Ooh, Lupin is Studio Ghibli.

What?

[hennaoj]

What?

Its a Studio Ghibli film. They also did Totoro and Castle in the Sky

The movie Lupin III - The Castle of Cagliostro is only one of 5 (I think!) Lupin III movies and is technically not a Studio Ghibli film, even though it was directed and co-written by Hayao Miyazaki, as it was originally released in 1979 and Studio Ghibli wasn't formed until 1985 (the first official Studio Ghibli movie was 1986's Laputa - Castle in the Sky).

The Lupin pachinko machines are based on the Lupin, Fujiko and Zenigata characters originally from the manga by Monkey Punch. However as this is probably the closest we'll ever get to a Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli pachinko I've got two of them (both Fujiko but willing to trade cells for a Lupin or Zenigata version).

PS, I'm a big fan of Hayao Miazaki/Isao Takahata/Studio Ghibli and will be going to the local arthouse cinema tomorrow to watch the subtitled version of Ponyo.

[hennaoj]

I'd love to see the Ponyo film, just need to get a baby sitter for my 16 month old.

[derek1960]

I am a Baby sitter I think.
My friends come round to play my machines, then bugger off to the pub,leaving me and my wife with about two hundred kids.
Its four actually, but it sounds like hundreds.
I like to fill them up with sweets and pop then send them home full of Sugar.

[hanabi]

OMG I almost cried when I saw what the Maharaja & Lupin cell went for...

I should have bid and collected it as a spare at that price...

I do hope one of our members here managed to get it??

[drcrippen324]

me too couldent belive it !!!
