[Sederien]

STAR WARS!! Join the Dark Side.

Welcome to PT!

No!

The Light Side is obviously better because we have cookies!

(The Dark Side only has moldy cheese.)

...

This is going to devolve fast. Perhaps it would be best to link you to some resources:

Ultraman

Ultra Seven

Ultra Seven 2

Star Wars

Even if you don't speak Japanese, you can click around and get a feel for what they do. Decide on that for personal preference.

[BigBearSteve]

Ultra Seven 2 looks pretty cool

Welcome to pachitalk!!!

I would get Star Wars while you still can. Ultraman is a great machine, but I think Star Wars will be harder to find before Ultraman will.

I do want to get Ultraman as well, so maybe I'm just saying this to eliminate the competition...

[Youngjedi]

The only bad thing I have noticed about Star Wars, The price keeps going up. It's a great machine. I've been playing it quite a bit today.

[johntofva]

Didn't the first one go for $1400...

[Sederien]

That and you really shouldn't worry about the price... You need to like the machine enough to keep it in the end.

If you get Star Wars because the price is going up... but you would have had more fun with Ultraman?

Just don't let that be your reason.

[glockman]

thanks for the info .
i think i will get star wars first then ultraman
ultraman is 275.00 shiped
star wars is 350.00 shipped
not sure if these are good prices or not

[Youngjedi]

Didn't the first one go for $1400...

Ooops, Your correct. But in all fairness, I didn't join this hobby until after that (Thank Gosh!)...Otherwise, I would have been one of those $1400.00 people. I was able to get mine for about 250.00.

(and .99 for my second)

Welcome to PachiTalk glockman!!



I think you made a good choice

from the two you mention, I only have and have played Star Wars,
So I am not able to give you a very balanced opinion

But I will say that Star Wars is the most popular Pachinko in my home,
that's with children and adults

I don't think you could go wrong with that particular Theme

That's reasonable... Is this from Hiro?

[glockman]

Yes Its From Hiro

[MrGoodBurn]

Hiro does have great prices. He is usually cheaper than most of the other dealers.

I payed $55 for my 1st Pachinko the "Castle " at Toys R Us back in 1976 in Milwaukee ,Wis. I used an old Strombecker slotcar transformer for the lights . Fantastic machine .
