    Default Which Machine to buy

    Hello. I am new to the site and purchased a Pachislo machine the other day. I purchased a Sansei pachinko machine tonight and want to buy a more modern one. I was told to buy the Gundam one but i also saw a trigun for around the same price. Is the gundam a lot higher quality or more fun? I know it is more modern and the screen looks to be larger. I love the Trigun series and am a huge fan but would choose the gundam machine if they are very similar.

    Attachment 80234

    this is the one i purchased. It was a lot of fun until i saw multiple error codes and had to rip the machine apart to figure it out. The ball was stuck inside the sensor on bottom (payout i think) and there was a random lightbuld jamming up the balls inside. I think it fell out of the spare parts bag the previous owner was keeping with the balls.

    The attachment in my second message was my older machine I bought yesterday. I can't decide on trigun or gundam. I looked all over YouTube and the gundam has a joystick and action button with more animations I think. It also looks like a really limited playing field. The only trigun video I could find was from a distance and you can't really tell anything.

    I would go Gundam myself. Akimono.com sells the Gundam one. There is a video on it on the site.

    That they do. I got my Yamato Resurrection from Frank. If I ever get another newer machine, I will go through him.

    I am thinking Trigun.. then Gundam later.

    Gundam looks to be more interactive.. with the V trigger frame.. I already have one of these frames with Macross Frontier.

    Buy the machine that has the theme your most interested in, I don't know anything about either machine, but if friends come over, you want to be able to tell them something about the machine and the theme of it, which makes it more interesting
