    It took a long time of waiting and waiting and waiting for the right auction to come along but I finally snagged one of these puppies from DGI.

    I will review it when it arrives, and I've had a chance to break down it's secrets.

    DGI jacks up their prices? Not that I'm aware of. They tend to run good clean auctions and have a lower posted shipping charge than any other vendor. This is my 5th machine from them and I didn't get a jacked up price on any of them.

    I paid $212.50...

    Is that $212 total or $212 plus shipping? Just curious so I know what a good deal is?

    Wow...If these other vendors/dealers are asking $600 - $700, I guess that puts you at a great deal then!

    In my opinion there are very few machines worth over 300 those being spin luck, dragon dice, etc. 250's the max i prefer to spend on any machine including shipping.

    Metal Slug has been on my top ten want list since I first found out about it last year. It's not that common which is going to keep it's price up, plus I love the theme.

    Top Ten All Time List...

    1. Spin Luck (have it)
    2. Dragon Dice (have it)
    3. Harley Davidson (doubt I'll ever pay that much for it)
    4. Metal Slug (have it soon)
    5. Super Blackjack (have it)
    6. Thunderbirds (have it)
    7. Terminator (have it)
    8. Betty Boop (have it)
    9. Magic Pulsar (have it)
    10. Addams Family (still waiting for the right price)

    Two short of completing it.

    Tulsa, the Thunderbirds machine is it a machine that you would recommend getting or is it overated?

    Well I like it a lot. Now you have to remember I grew up watching the show when I was a kid in the 60's. So temper my statements with that bit of nostalgia. It's has a quality 32 bit graphics engine and great sounds. You will have to install a volume control on it as it whines without one. Bad design here.

    The no chrome looks is appealing with all my other chrome slots. It's attract mode is simply the video, nothing great. It has English, which is a major plus for me.

    My list looks a lot like yours. My "have its" include the Spin Luck, Dragon Dice, Metal Slug, Super Blackjack, Thunderbirds, Terminator, and Magic Pulsar.

    My "want its" include Addams Family and Harley (also not likely to pay enough to get one). Ones that I want that are not on your list are Austin Powers, Bang Bang Dash, Gamera (big lcd), Twenty-seven (haven't seen any in the U.S. yet), Popeye (again, none in U.S. yet).

    Good point on the Bang Bang Dash. Guess I'll have to drop the Terminator out of there to fit it in!

    Nice Buy ! Thats actually how I fell into this pachislo mayhem. I was looking for a metal Slug 3 Cart for my Neo Geo MVS cab and found that Pachislo the other week that went for Retarded Money ( 500+ I believe ). I actually had that one you won in my Watched Items but forgot about it. eh i will get one sooner or later. I went a bit crazy with my start into this hobby buying 11 Machines in 3 Days. About to play Fire Drift now. Havent hit much yet so Im due. I think my favorite currently is Neo PalnetT but I am sure I will like Speed Racer more once I fix the Sound Issue. Mike : )
