Any mention of those Spider-Man Pins by the Batman 66 in the pictures above?
Quoted from VacFink:This is fun to watch, I hope you keep them coming Labnip. If its interesting now, I can't imagine what we'll see once you deplete that recently replenished stockpile of beverages!
While your there, if you like greek food, greektown has great stuff, and on the way out heading south, Chicken in a bucket. Man I miss Chicago. The aquarium is also fantastic if you have time after and head down to Navy Pier.
cool. see if we can sneak out again for some greek food. i'm a total greek food nut
Quoted from PinBallMagician:Any mention of those Spider-Man Pins by the Batman 66 in the pictures above?
yep.
home model. stern is going to float these out into the market & see if there's enough demand. if so, they'll start making other "home model" pins at lower cost.
Quoted from PinBackpacker:Who did they mention wouldn't make the Stern party tomorrow night? Couldn't hear in the back.
the monkey
Quoted from kermit24:I wouldn't say trying "the pin" again. It seems like a total reboot to me. On the FB video, Jared called it "Home Edition" and mentioned that the cabinet was full sized.
playfield is same size (with cheaper toys/targets), cabinet backbox is smaller, etc...
Man, this would have been an awesome year to be at Expo. I've never been...
Have fun to all of those who are there!!!

I also miss the area... need to hit up the Pita Inn in Wheeling... best kebab and falafel bar none...
Suggest you order a Lou Malnatis pizza and have it delivered. Order the Deep Dish Sausage and you wont be disappointed.
If you do go to Greek Town, check out Diana's and order the flaming cheese as an appetizer...OHHHMPPPAAAAAA!! Plenty of Greek wine and a cab ride home.....love Chicago!! Cubs if you can catch them...
Quoted from hool10:Will there be a Twitch stream of the panel tonight at 8PM?
Dunno
Quoted from rotordave:Space time?

I was right! Time Zone is the 2 player version of Space Time. It's nice to be right occasionally.

Well Jack Danger said that he is most likely the only streamer so most likely no panel streaming. Facebook Live, anything would be nice. It's 2016 people jeez. No wonder Pinball isn't popular. Sigh....
Gary Talking now. Said operators probably 50% customer base. Talked about playfield problems and replacing playfields starting next month.

Talked about the issues? Wow. Would have expected deflection when those types of questions came up.

Is Josh the best person to have the camera on? CBS =/= Vice when it comes to words they allow. Tear it up Josh!
There are other folks streaming from Expo.
Jersey Jack will be Periscoping tonight. Stern live streamed on Facebook earlier.

You need to find the shorty flipper games, my friend.
Dutch Pinball cancelled their seminar. Chicago Gaming cancelled theirs. So did American Pinball. WTF?

Ok at least there is that. Many game expo's and conventions are streamed now on Twitch. It makes sense too for people to get interested and it's free advertising. People might be like "I heard from IGN they are making a Batman Pinball machine and oh wow there is somebody livestreaming it at the convention".

The other guys in the tournament paid the camera man to distract him with a camera in his face during his turn

How is Dutch pinball doing financially?
Did Alien have a credit dot?
Right after free play there was a period. I don't know if newer games have a credit dot anymore.
