Wasn't able to go, but before Expo I heard words like 'epic', describing the upcoming events. However, watching the weekend unfold here on pinside, was it a success or failure? Not saying failure in the terms of the event, as anything pinball, is good. But failure as it relates to expectations. Because I saw:
MMR release - Was expected, but with the LE vs STD, the handling of orders, the non-confirmations, the check mail-in, it seemed to lose alot of steam after the initial excitement.
Predator - Non-starter and a major disappointment on many levels
Ghost Squad - Cabinet and Translite art from Premier era...Don't know if the game was playable but didn't hear alot of wow
Stern - All sorts of hype about next pin, but nothing revealed
Buddy's Giveaway - Mr. Pinball Australia wins...'nuff said
Again, don't get me wrong...wish I could have attended, but it sure seems to have fallen a bit flat, especially compared to expectations. For those that attended, what was your overall take?
