    Question My next machines. Any suggestions

    I'm getting ready to buy 6 machines from Hiro, but I have only found 4 that I'm set on so far.

    Star Wars (White Frame)
    Indiana Jones (Gold Panel) (White Frame)
    Cutey Honey
    Galaxy Train (Not sure what frame color I want)
    Hiro has White, Red, and Yellow to choose from. Does anyone have this machine in red? Any color suggestions?

    I still need to pick 2 more machines from his list, but I'm not sure which one I want yet. He is giving me a good deal since I'm ordering 6 machines. I just can't resist!

    Some of you may have his list.. Any suggestions for my last 2 machines? I will attach the list when I can.

    I have matchy-matchy and symmetry issues... SO I would get all in white frames or do 3 of one frame color and three of another or 2,2,2... of course, your symmetry would depend on what you already have. I think the choices you've made thus far are great!

    the white frame on my Galaxy Train looks fancier

    I have the red frame on my Evangelion.

    Your about to embark on a journey not of dimension, but sight and sound...

    For colors on the frame...Get what appeals to your eyes. Try not to match the furniture or walls, It's impossible to fung shway the machines based on colors.

    White = Classy
    Red = bold and daring
    Yellow = Soft and cuddly

    That's my two cents

    Galaxy Train is a wonderful choice. I love mine, but again it only cost me $75.

    Mine are silver, pink, yellow and orange. All right next to each other.


    They do match my socks, though.

    No... Selling Unicorn Balls turned out to be a very lucrative business.

    Does anyone know if Galaxy Train originally shipped in any other frame than the white one?

    Also, I am sacrificing Monster Village in this deal. A friend of mine really wants it. I told him he could have it for $100.00, which is what I paid for it. I was originally trying to get him to buy one from Hiro, but he didn't want to spend a lot of money on a machine.

    I guess I don't mind since I am getting 6 new machines to play, but I'll miss it.

    If Hiro has a Top Gun, Buy it!! It will fit in well with Star Wars and Indy.

    He does have one in a white frame for $375 w/cabinet. I may actually buy it. It's a little more than I wanted to spend on each machine, but if it's worth it; I may just buy it.

    I was thinking about these machines as well, but he doesn't have them on the the list. He does have New Sea Story, but I don't like the look of that one like I do the Super Sea Story. I really want the Caribbean Sea Story that I found on YJA.

    I purchased a Super Sea Story from a lady on ebay about two weeks ago, but after the auction was over she said her husband dropped it, and she couldn't sell it to me because it was broken. I know it's a line of bull, because I tried everything to get her to sell it to me even broken, and she wouldn't do it. I really want that machine...

    I'm also looking for a good deal on a Loony Tunes machine.

    Unless something changes today; my final selections are below.

    Star Wars
    Indiana Jones (Gold Panel) (White Frame)
    Galaxy Train (White Frame)
    Cuty Honey
    Maharajya
    Top Gun (White Frame) With cabinet
