Gomez and Lord of the Rings, I think, is definitely his best effort. It's funny, when I first started playing pinball at a time, I really got into the Sopranos. And after getting into the Sopranos and playing the hell out of that I shortly thereafter found a Lord of the Rings and loved that game too And then shortly after that I found a Monster Bash and loved that And then once I started learning more about pinballs and designers and all that kind of stuff and found out that Gomez was on all of them, he was like immediately my favorite designer. I definitely have to clip that hurry up I just did later. Or if somebody can do it now, that'd be awesome. That winner is coming, hurry up, I collected it on the right orbit. that was 462 million holy crap now we got to get to winners come that's our goal right here I'm just trying to collect them I don't care what the rest of my hurry ups are worth.
