[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 7703657, member: 7006"] That is the definite downside of only having a couple inductees every year... there's always a "Hey, wait, how did X get inducted before Y?" I know personally I have that reaction to the Game Boy going in before things like Hot Wheels, and The Game of Life getting to be the 5th board game to go in rather than something like Pachisi or Clue (behind Monopoly, Checkers, Scrabble, and Candyland) but it is what it is. Bubble wrap is one of those "generic object" toys that I expect will get in sooner than later. Pinball is in an interesting position though because the Hall has begun the video arcade game revolution (with the 2600 and Game Boy) and thus wonder if the pinball machine might actually be continually passed by as they move onto later systems like the NES and PS. Either that, or they're putting the pinball machine into more of the "adult game" bucket alongside things like billiards, darts, and ping-pong and thus aren't going to include it? No idea. [/QUOTE]
