Parts vendors usually sell things a bit cheaper at the Expo than they would on their website.
Though Marco doesn't normally bring parts, but you can order on their website at the Expo and receive free shipping.

There are a few vendors who sell parts at the show, but I would not go there expecting everything to be available. I'll be picking up some glass I know.
I finally have Johnny ready to go, new red decals, LEDs throughout, fixed the glove switch. Creech is ready as well complete with colorDMD, LED speaker panel and LCD creature mod.
Two weeks to go!
Can we see a pic or 2 of the front & back of the 2013 event t-shirts.

Also, shirt colors?
My apologies if i totally missed these pics somewhere.
Thanks

Quoted from revmex:reposting questions I had:
"All,
This will be my first expo. Is it safe to say that I should make a list of all things I would buy and find them at the expo? Is cash king when your buying things from vendors or are you paying retail prices but you'll save $$$ on shipping (or tax).
Just trying to get a feel on what to expect."
-Rev
I'm still pretty new to the whole expo thing but the only two I've been to (Texas Pinball Festival) didn't really show to have any deals that were good enough to really get excited about "unless" you were a vendor or brought a pin and got in early. I heard their were some good deals made before the show started but once it started prices were pretty retail in my eyes.
Parts were about the same as what you could get online too.
All in all, for those two events I went with cash in hand hoping to come home with something and both times I went home empty handed. I'm now going just to play and quite honestly wont be bringing any buying cash with me anymore.

A very nice mix of pinball machines on the games list for this years Houston Arcade and Pinball Expo. 
And more pins planned for this years event than last year.
I'm sure I'll see some of you Pinsiders out in the hallway at the Crown Plaza on Saturday to visit and watch some of the college football games on tv.

Wow a change of heart, a total 360 from previous discussions.

Playfield glass is usually only available from Illinois pinball, who also will be there.

Are we setting up ramps out in the back parking lot Sat morning to see how many project pins we can jump with the 4-wheeler? That should add some more excitement and adrenaline rushes.

LOL. If all goes to plan the quad won't make it to show.
Quoted from retired_user_101:why do i get this feeling i'm going to come back much poorer
Depends on what game you are looking for...or get addicted to.
Would it be considered a charitable donation if we help Marc out by buying a game so he doesn't have to stress his truck out on the way home? I'll have to consult my tax adviser...
Thanks again Marc for bringing all your pins. I'll be there Sat afternoon with my wife and daughter. If you see us come say Hi. The three of us will be in our "Got Pinball" shirts that my wife picked up this summer 
Newcastle
The game room is not overflowing already is it? I still have my 6 pins to bring in with another guy's 5, then still have Marc's Hercules and 5+ pins as well loading in Friday morning.
