Indi Jones out-performed just about any recent title in terms of coin-drop, but home buyers largely decided to skip the title - maybe because Indi Jones and Batman: The Dark Knight were released in quick succession. Shrek was a re-hash of the great Family Guy but was such a limited run and never quite lived up to it's predecessor. So from the list it has to be Batman for me. I had to drop one back to a retailer after the UK Pinball Show and managed to make excuses and keep it for a few days. I used to buy every new Stern machine but I try to be a bit more sensible these days. Keep up the great work guys and more pinball stuff please!
