Reading all of this just makes me so sad. Is it that bad to believe that a great designer/artist could not have made one or two pins even at those high prices. I should have known better when AIW was announced and I had to hear about it here as I told John I wanted to purchase everyone of his future pins with the same number. He had me a customer for life and I bet many more,why could he just not build one and concentrate on that. I am reminded of a commercial when a fellow was in a hold and was trying to get out of debt or something and the voiceover said "The best way to get out is to stop digging"

Happy Easter or Passover! I wish I was looking at unboxing pics.

Even for distributors who now have used show only pins rather than the desired new in box.

Where is the Kiss proto now?

Futurama I have 50k find 5 more

I would also like a custom drive in theme pinball but could use CFTBL as a template but use my drive in called Central Drive In Theatre located in Norton Va. I like the naked chick I saw on a few CFTBL too.

Thanks

I do too great toys and with LEDs the look is incredible. The one I got from Greg in Arizona is incredible and I have yet to tire of playing it. He dud a great job of getting it custom modded and powder coated.

No Steven P is a real person and nice guy. He warned me about doing a fund raiser for my drive in theatre in 2013, he took some heat on here for his answers of law but was genuine and really cared. I was upset as other drive ins were raffling guns and atv so I tried a pinball machine here in our community group. I went ok as long as tax income reported. I meet him later at Expo with John. He owns some pins too and like many of us a fan of JPOP'S work beforehand at WMS.

Robots are going to be doing that soon with new wage increase. Fast food has no choice but to let you push the color button to order fries now like getting your own drink. I remember the good days when a real person messed up our order.

I will never have robots at the drive in as I often work the ticket booth and love interacting with my customers. Our food concession stand makes everything the old fashioned way fresh and hot made to order. Sometimes the wait can be long however. 15 dollars per hour would probably inflate movie tickets from our 8 dollars for two.movies to 10.dollars per person. Check us out at www.centraldrivein.com
Pinsiders get half price if they mention Pinside and are a member.

Busch or Corona?

Major difference in price points.

I enjoy my rare PistolPoker pinball and CSI and NBA from Stern which have smaller production runs than most Limited Editions.

If you had never sent that late night RGP post I would have never known and maybe we would have lost out on those expensive Tshirts. I so wanted to believe!

I never got a full refund but I did get partial refund for 3 months plus this neat TShirt.

Congrats to everyone, what a ride!
Is 19 the confirmed number as it was only 13 then 19 then maybe expanded to 30 or 50.

I had rabbit 004 I wonder who got mine. I felt lucky to get a partial refund but ne er dud the full amount. So glad to guys are getting yours but that money I need to reopen the drive in movie theatre and on March10 this will start the 4th season of the new digital format vs 35mm used for decades. Please send me some pics of the lucky person if possible.

If it sells for anything close Congratulations just remember me at Expo. I love another care package like last time when you had to get on the plane with John. Makes for happier moments in life.

I was in for both machines also..I did get some money back but nowhere the full amount. Maybe my refund was just BHZA or RZA instead of MG and I should be getting one of the Magic girl pins already. 27k paid got 10k back and one 5k check bounced that I have as a souvenir. 17k balance should be a MG.

hand delivered too. Oh man so sorry

It was great meeting you and seeing your collection. Ok be of my favorite traveling up to Expos in person trips. I just wished we had never seen that post on old newsgroups so Don and I could have saved money. Sorry for your loss too. Somewhere my 5k might still be doing someone some good. Sure wish I had it now for to Covid killing the cinema business. Oh well. Atleast we have the memories.
