Nice! Cool guy to let you play the first game out of the box!

He had a standard Metalica in there a few weeks ago when I was there (in the same spot). Most of the games there are in great condition. I played Cactus Canyon for the first time there. I spend most of my time playing the WOZ though. It kept sucking me back in.

Best pinball collection around!! Met the owner David who was very nice. Has most of the top 50 machines in good condition or better. Awesome good times.

That place is the bomb. I found 6 free games on WOZ - played them all. Kids had a blast winning tickets. Finally played BBB and a ton of others. Great collection.

Heading out there for a tournament soon. Have heard such great things about the place that I'm finally going to make the drive down there to check it out

I'm at nags head for the week, heading there Friday- cant wait!!!

Looking forward to seeing/playing a few games for the first time:

BBB
MET
WOZ

Though, I just saw someone post the WoZ was not 100% functioning

I'm heading to Nags Head next Saturday. Would have been cool to meet a fellow pinsider at Flippers.

David is a great guy. I hear he runs quite the ship up there, I've been wanting to make the 8 hour drive to see the place eventually.

I was back again today. WOZ lights were fixed.

Sweet.... I'm tempted to sneak out there tomorrow too. I have a feeling I going to go Friday, decides its awesome, but that's our last full day at the outer banks and wouldn't be able to return....

So... Go tomorrow.... AND Friday.

How crowded is the place? Waits for games? $1/play?

ha! crowded? I was there twice last August and for most of the 8 hrs ish we were alone. it is tokens, can't recall the cost per game but not expensive. best part is the condition of the games!

Spent about 3 hours there today, maybe 2 others playing in the span of those 3 hours..

Yeah I've never seen more than 3-4 other people there at the same time. 50¢ for the majority of everything, WOZ is 75¢ and a few older games in the back are 25¢.

Ugh.... Why did I wait so long to go to this place?!

Hell, forgot "is it worth a 30min drive from our beach house", this joint sounds like its worth. 3.5 hour drive my home...

Just spent an entire day at Flippers. Played lots of MM, TOTAN, Shadow and BSD. Got a couple games in on MET and the new Star Trek. MET gets my vote. I'm gonna miss that place. Probably won't get there again until late next year.

Awesome bathroom signs too

flippers is great! go there every holiday season when I visit my sis in VA beach. Only an hour away. Great machines and never crowded.

Today I went on a road trip to Grandy NC to Flippers Variety Store and Arcade. It's about 75 miles from Hampton VA, about an hour and a half drive one way. I have been wanting to make the trip for a wile as they have many great pinball game title's including many new Stern and even a JJP The Wizard of Oz but when I heard they got the new Stern Star Trek Pro I knew it was time for a road trip. The main reason for the visit was to see and play the new Star Trek and I have been itching to see the WOZ for some time. I played Star Trek first and first impression, I love it. It's everything everyone that has played it has already said, it's bright, fast and fun. I cant wait to get my LE. The WOZ is also a fun pin but I can see it will take some time to learn what's going on and what shots you need to make. I have to say I had more fun on Star Trek then any other pin their. I did play MET, AC/DC and the rest at least one or 2 games of each of the new Sterns in the line up. Their was a problem with the LOTR LE, every time I hit the ball to the upper left of the playfield the ball would get lost which made the game pretty much unplayable.
The big surprise to me which I am sure is no surprise to most of you was the Medieval Madness, yes they have a MM with the ColorDMD. When they announced the MMR I did not know what all the fuss was about as I had never seen or played one but after today I am a fan. Not an 8K I must have fan but anytime I am at Flippers I will drop some coin in it.
Their Creature from the Black Lagoon wile in great condition could use a little love. The creature hologram was not lighting or moving . I could barely tell it was their, just enough light to see it but that was it but the colorDMD looked great. I took some video which is not the greatest, I need a new camera, but you can get an idea what's their.
If you love playing pinball and you are ever in Grandy NC then you must drop by.

Flippers is a great place. I am going back there soon to try out the ST pro. I just hope they can get enough business to stay open. It never seems crowded.
