Thansk for all the updates

Thanks Brett for the photos & reporting. FYI, those gas displays with the individual wires are known as Nixie Tubes. Google for more info. We can thank our Russian friends for them.

The Nixie tube displays on Zitt's Mirror Uni machine are freaking awesome. Haven't played Predator yet 'cause the crowds are redonk. Probably will try at the vendor party tonight. Having a blast, wish y'all were here. Sold the Earthshaker, bought an EBD. Pix to follow. From a camera, not a phone.

My first "selfie" taken at the behest of the World Record people. Unofficial count was around 230 machines. Smashes the old record but gives lots of room for improvement.

Both of my machines getting lots of love, but no buyers yet.

Thanks both of you for the pics. Make you fell like we are there.

Anyone have any update on the presentation from JJP?? Was any new Hobbit info/pics revealed?

- Please update when new info emerges!

Not from me. I'm not doing any of that this year. Will get some great pics later during the vendor after party. The crowd is very thin and easier to work around. The show is better than ever and I am really looking forward to tonight. Texas Land and Cattle for dinner then back to it. A few of the higher end pins for the auction are not for play(BBB) but most are. Cactus Canyon is getting lots of love. There is food and drinks on site as well as the occasional food truck. Same vendors as last year, more stuff to look at and good show prices. Even from CPR!

Picked up some boards for my Space Invaders project and, somehow, an Eight Ball Deluxe managed to find its way into my trailer. Damn.

Lots of folks telling me they were wanting to see the Acrylic Pinball Project. Sorry to have disappointed so many, but it will be done right and here next year. Quite an ego boost to hear that stuff.

The frustrating thing for me is that my wife flew to Dallas to attend a Montessori teachers' conference this weekend. She's just a few miles from TPF, and I am up here in NC with the kids! The sacrifices we make for love. Sigh...

Do tell....

Did Jack end up speaking about The Hobbit?

Thanks!

The prices aren't bad, but here's the rub.

I would have taken $2750 and ran with it, unless maybe it had a nucore in it.

Not bad!

man if I was gonna fly to any show this is the one. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for the thorough review. I am very interested, and in many encoruaged, by your description of the game as "hard". Until this show and your review, of the people who took the time to express an opinion, the predominant feeling was that it was very much too easy.

Of the people you have talked to around the machine,have you found your assessment of the difficulty sentiment shared?

I consider myself a thoroughly mediocre player and I found the shots really tough at the Louisville show
