Quoted from Dee-Bow:No, they won't play Reba in your absence.. and No, the game's they selected won't be annoying. Why you being a Debbie Downer?
Was joking on the Reba, and the fireball 2 is a great game, just not a fan of the sounds.
Doing some work for the show so we might as well announce another pinball machine in the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championships. There is a love/hate relationship with this game as it has one of the most difficult and challenging shots in all of pinball. Get ready to shoot for some 'disks' and try to master the 'Gem' shot the 7th entry into the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championships is Tron.
Only two more machines left to announce for the DHPL Classics Tournament. So let get right do it and rattle off another one. I can't tell you much about this one as I have never played it, but from what I have heard it is a stunning looking machine for its age. Let's give it up for Golden Arrow!!!!
Curious if out of town pinsiders are making plans to do anything else besides pinball and hang out? Anyone bringing their wifes and kids?
My brother will be bringing the kids Saturday so it will be fun to expose them to pinball. After lots of recommendations we're thinking of trying Pampas brazilian steakhouse and I know of a few auctions Saturday and Sunday that will be calling my name. Wife's making plans with her girlfriends to go get tattoos.
Can't wait. Should be a fun weekend!
If you go to Pampa's head to Costco first and pick up a $100 gift certificate for 79.99.

Well we are almost getting to the end of all of the machine announcements going to be one hell of a tournament but we just couldn't resist putting this one in the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championship. With famous sayings like "your under arrest" and "book him" and "your move creep" I would surely buy this title for a dollar. The eighth machine slated for the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Championships is Robocop!!!!
Noon...

Quoted from Pinhead306:What time does the event open on the Friday?
Well this is it, the last machine announcement for the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championship. What do you want to see, maybe a Big Bang Bar, ha 'Dream On' the 9th and final machine announcement is Aerosmith Pro.
One last thanks to the folks at Nitro Amusements who have supported this show from the very start and have allowed us to provide the biggest prize pool in YEGPIN history for this event. Lookout for the last announcement for the DHPL Classics tournament tomorrow.
Whoever is bringing the Asteroids Deluxe to Yegpin. You are my new best friend!
Also, a shout out to anyone with working Vector graphics games (Tempest, Battle Zone, Star Castle, Star Wars, Star Trek, Graviton, Asteroids, Armor Attack, Solar Quest, etc).
Please bring your machines !!!
Finally just booked my room for this at the best western plus, picked up the 2 queen suite for 135 night instead of 185 night.
If anyone has a gold wings, heavy metal meltdown, barracora, robot or locomotion to sell, I am looking to buy. Need to know beforehand so I can make arrangements to transport and so I bring lotsa sweet cash.
Hopefully they gave you YEGPIN show rate. See you at the show!!!

Well this is it for the DHPL Classics Tournament, one last announcement. Our team has spent the last few months fully restoring this machine from the ground up and this will go to the grand champion of the Nitro Amusements - Western Canadian Pinball Championships. Without further ado give it up for one of the toughest solid states of all time and the 6th and last entry into the DHPL Classics Tournament, Flash Gordon!!!!
Some of the restoration pics are below to give you a tease but you will have to come to YEGPIN yourself to play and see this beauty in the wild.
One last announcement tomorrow for the Wizard's Comics and Collectibles - Little One's Flippin' Tournament

I haven't checked the game list in a couple weeks and I'm totally bumbed
2 of the 3 games I wanted to play most are no longer on the list.
If a Edmonton pinsider is willing to let me try their met premium, I can supply beer, bud or both for 30 minutes of your time. I'm buying either a pro or premium at vfo this fall and really want to try a premium first.
Thanx
Quoted from dirkdiggler:2 of the 3 games I wanted to play most are no longer on the list.
That's one what are the others?
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Which I see you own
Going to a new home soon , has 350 original plays ... Out of respect to buyer had to pull from show!
Perhaps should me meet you can have a game or two...
Sorry to disappoint !
Yes, probably the most difficult part of the show is getting machines, people are buying, selling or trading machines all the time, the show rolls with the punches and is very thankful for anyone who contributes to this show. In return, we post them as quickly as we can for all our ticket holders to see but we also ensure to tell you upfront that things may change and donations can be pulled at anytime and we provide our generous donors with this flexibility. There is an excellent selection here at YEGPIN 2017, there will be some awesome titles for everyone to enjoy. Hell I want a Big Bar Bang there to try but that ain't going to happen and you don't see them at shows very often. Pretty sure we will be able to get Met LE in the show I am just not committing to it until I see it in the flesh. There maybe some surprises we haven't posted yet stay tuned, lol...

Thanks to all who are sharing their games with us. And the volunteers and event organizers. It takes a huge commitment to pull something like this off.
Quoted from dirkdiggler:Master of Puppets, Aliens and AMH.
Aliens will be there,it's on the list to.
My Aliens should be there and set up as well.
Rob Zombie to.
Could also bring RZLE #1,and AMH,if someone wants to buy them both in a package deal.
These two games belong to a friend.

I was disappointed to see AMH gone. Too bad. Still a lot of awesome games coming though.
I see there's going to be a Granny and the Gators at the show. Looks pretty cool. Never even heard of it before. The promotional poster is a must find now.
We have all of the passes printed, I had a chance to see them in person last night. I was amazed at the quality, all of you donors, volunteers and VIP's are going to love them. Look out for pictures in the VIP newsletter #3 that will becoming out soon. The only way to get one if these now is to donate a machine to the event, we have assigned our fulltime volunteers and VIP's passes were long ago sold out. Over 100 pins and Arcades committed, lots of silent auction items to be sold, lots of show mechandize, thou quantities are limited I would strongly suggest to pre-order, going to be an excellent show!!!
Quoted from puck:I would be interested in the RZLE if someone is interested in the AMH
What's the price on amh?
Does anybody know if Nitro is bringing any led displays, led and solenoid driver boards for the old Bally games again
Quoted from nightsearcher:Does anybody know if Nitro is bringing any led displays, led and solenoid driver boards for the old Bally games again
Quoted from yegpin:Yellowhead Inn has rooms for YEGPIN! It’s not far from the event (10-13min drive) and they are a great pinball supporter. Thanks Yellowhead Inn! Use code YEGPIN Rooms are only $70.
Just called and was told maybe $75.00 but probably $95/night
Edit. Yellowhead is $70/night

There must be between 40-80 hours of sweat equity into that game alone, plus parts.
Are those spinners original or if not, how did you make them? Paint + decals?
