    They haven’t had that warehouse for several years. They have just been holding ReplayFX/Pinburgh at the convention center for several years. Quite a shame to see this event dissolve. Many of my favorite pinball experiences were trips to Pinburgh. I wish a pinhead would just buy them out and take over.

    Really Pinburgh was a far more fun and impressive event than PAPA. But I get your point.

    Those “Bloody Barry”s were the best!

    The only comparable collection I’m aware of is the Museum of pinball, near LA, where INDISC is held. They have a great collection. The only problem is, their tournament is not great. Maybe they could change to the Pinburgh format. I would definitely attend if they did, and I bet we’d have a lot of people from Colorado in attendance. Who else would go if they switched their format?

    They have a ton of games that weren’t used for the tournament. Are there any other huge collections out there with that kind of potential?

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    Those games aren’t tournament ready.
    They would need a massive staff - like papa had - to get them tournament ready, and to run the tournament.

    Yes, it is very difficult to host any sort of event. As you know, I run my own event. I was clearly not just being critical of INDISC, quite the opposite. I was simply pointing out that the Pinburgh format is amazing, and wondering aloud if there was anywhere else that could pull it off.

    Quoted from CrazyLevi:

    “Their tournament isn’t that great” is the opposite of criticism?
    Clearly!

    Not sure what your problem is.

    I am critical of that tournament, but this was not my main point.
