SNiPeRX: Get an apprisal by someone who knows these kind of things. It's worth the price for something like that.

Ebay. All the ones I researched on using google before buying the one I did were much higher off the internet even by the same people selling the machines on ebay, go figure:p.

I would plug the one I got even though its not a movie themed one. Its cool because the screen rotates while the action stays the same, comes with 400 balls and some feet so it wont tip over and is only $279 shipped for years of fun. My son and I were playing it again last night and got super jack pot 3 times in less then an hour. I love watching this thing go nuts with the lights, Japanese animation, and Japanese heavy metal music pouring out of this thing its freaking awsume!

But if you have the funds get starwars or Lord of the rings. They both are supposed to have alot of the movie clips in them which would be really cool to see.

Too bad their selection of machines sucks... Whenever I see a machine I want at one of these places, it's gone before I save up the cash... (But I've still got a handful of pachinko balls in my pocket!) Frankly, I don't like movie-themed machines. Generic machines ftw! (Although old anime-themed machines like Lupin III and Mazinger Z are okay.)

Pachinko is crack. Avoid it at all costs lest it become an overwhelming part of your existence. You have been warned.

Luckily I have plenty of SNES, N64, and PS2 parlor sims to keep my tenuous grasp on sanity intact.
