Mhhh .. very nice report ! Thanks for sharing !
Question:
I own a MC prototype but have not this medieval figures and never saw them.
Were this figures really on the pin ?
On my DinosaurEgg I have some dono figures, looking similar to the ones on MC on the picture and the flyer.
Would be nice to know !
Wow !
very good find !
Now it would be intresting if someone can remember that he ever saw a MC with this figurines.
They are not looking good on the machine, but they are also on the flyer !
Quoted from play_pinball:Based on the colors of those figures, I think they’re “Monster in my Pocket” figures that were briefly popular around that time. I had a bunch when I was a kid.

Yes, those were Monster In My Pocket toys! Per a conversation with Michael Gottlieb several years ago, he said that no games came off the line with them. I have always thought that it would be cool to add them back though, so at some point the MC here in the Alvin G Museum will have them!
Also, I just wanted to post another public thanks here to Caitlyn who reached out to me after seeing my WTB post from 7 years ago where I was looking for a copy of this magazine. She is donating it to the museum. Very nice of her! Up until now I have only had scans to display. Thnks again, Caitlyn!

Quoted from ThePinballCo-op:Hey guys, I'm looking for a left flipper rebuild kit.
Anyone have one lying around? Or one for sale?
I may have some mint/unused Alvin G main boards to trade you.
Start a WTB thread. This thread is to celebrate the company and their games. Please don't clog it up looking for parts, tech help, etc.

Quoted from Don44:Does anybody know what Alvin G machine these go to?

Guys, please start tech threads. This thread is to celebrate the company and their games, not talk parts and issues. Thanks.

Seriously? They are Alvin G parts and this is an Alvin G thread.

Yes. There are LOTS of Alvin G threads. Post in one of them or start one. Does a thread titled "A *Tribute* To The Gottlieb Name" seem like the best one of them to post your target question in?
Quoted from Don44:Ok, sorry. I didn't see any others. Anyhoo, picked up a pistol poker the other day and loving it so far. The dots are crude but who cares. I like the rules and its very unique. Great art package as well in my opinion.
Congrats on PP. It's a great game! A bit of trivia about PP... the layout is based on the unreleased prototype game, Jolly Roger, that Wally Welch had done a few years earlier. They needed something quickly, and Wally used several elements of the design to make PP.

To be fair, many of the club threads have weird names. Given there aren't many Alvin G machines, it kind of makes sense that there's a club thread with a name that covers all of them.
I mean, given the number of times people have mistaken this for a club thread, yes, it's obviously not clear that your intent for this thread is not a tech thread. Maybe change the title to "Alvin G tribute - NOT A TECH THREAD"?

I didn't start the thread, so it's not mine to change anything in. But given the current title, common sense would tell people that it's not a tech thread. The reason that it keeps getting hit by people for random reasons is because it has had a lot of posts over the years and it pops up in searches.
Anyway, xTheBlackKnightx doesn't get on Pinside much anymore, but his thread intent should be upheld, so I try to help that.

most owner thread has a healthy mix of topics including tech, which makes them more lively. I like contributing both way on owner thread for that reason, and none of the other have "restriction" on topic type really... Seems a bit extreme imo-

I was just about to post asking for some help but seeing the above I won't. Here's a link instead to a thread I started about my beloved Mystery Castle having issues. If anyone could take a look and hit me with some suggestions I'd really appreciate it as it's a weird one

If it wasn’t for the tech requests, this thread would be dead a buried, so why the gate keeping?
Trying to preserve the purity of a dead thread like a fly in amber?

Europes largest collection of Alvin G. machines was sold to the Arcade- and PinballMuseum Seligenstadt.
I am happy that "the guys" stay together and will be playable to the public within some month.
So far they went from my gameroom to a storeroom from a friend.
It was a great time having and collecting them.
Thank you to my friend Matt who made it possible to get this collection together.
