The best pinballs in the world.. The biggest and best meet in the world... And a great country to visit... Cant go wrong.. IFPA worlds one day Dave??

Nah I think it could happen for sure. You have the machines and the space. Have a word to the Sharpes about it when you are in Germany...

I've been to this event twice and it's awesome great machines great people in an awesome country if you can get there do it, highly recommended

Peter

Had a great time this year, cant wait till the next one - be good to have you all down in Christchurch!

Can't wait

I'm so in for this one Dave . Bring it on .

The best meet in the world... PaulOz has the best TZ in the world as well...

Thanks Richard but the credit goes to Kerry (Tilt) for having it look and play as it does.

wouldn't mind seeing if there is any cricket or rugby union on at the same time, Aussies vs kiwis!

Would you consider visitors from the Northern hemisphere as well? We make decent losers (talking about Rugby, can't even figure out what cricket is )

haha YouTube cricket........

I can only reiterate what has been posted by rgr and gorgar. 2014 will be my fourth pincade(if they have me) and I look forward to it each year with gay abandon. Minty mint, schmicko schmick A list and rare machines, nicest/friendly people you'll ever encounter, unbelievable women, free board/airport transfers/driven from location to location and bbq's cooked for you where ever you.

I do however have three criticisms: 1. If you are sick of playing top quality pins and want to rough it with a playmatic then you might be out of luck. 2. NZ beer is terrible and made even more so at 4% but that's easily fixed by top notch cool climate wines or below 42 vodka. 3. You will return to your home clinically depressed for at least two weeks due to the realisation that life after pincade is mundane and that nothing can be done to alleviate your pain until next year.

With the greenback coming good but let's face it it's always been strong against the nzd there's no reason to be a pinball pleb and not come over. As the kiwis say, Kia Ora.

Super 15's start in march??

I tried to get into union when I first came to NZ (football the beautiful game merchant) but found it too boring so got into NRL much better with a bit of biff! Go the Warriors now can't watch football as they seem like a big bunch of girls rolling around the floor at the slightest hint of a tackle. Funny how taste changes over time eh.

I believe paulOz has a woz(see what I did there) coming, any teasers of significant line up additions? Anyone have a Jpop ordered, BBB on the way, Homepin thunderbirds prototype???

I have a MoPLE coming, as well as the WOZ and have ordered the yet to be announced (worst kept secret in pinball) Star Trek LE on order but that may or may not be here for Pincade 2014.

cold or hot weather there that time of year, what do I need to pack?

in my experience the weather is mild. Combine that with 70 odd blokes and their sweaty balls while playing pins and its jeans with t-shirt attire. Depending what sort of sand grobber you are, you might need a jumper.

cant wait to play woz and your mople paul. These guys have minty and nib pins yet open up tbeir homes like an arcade and make everyone feel like the guest of honour.

comic book guy would say, best pinball holiday ever.

Pinballs indoors.. All good no matter what the temp.

Touch rugby Aussies v kiwis anyone?

If you need an incompetent, unfair and corrupted referee from the Northern hemisphere... I'm your man...

Nope take too long. Feijoa shots of below 42 will do nicely instead.

what are Feijoada shots?

Feijoa is a type fruit. It's also a flavour in the below 42 vodka range that is native to new Zealand. Damn Steve jobs and his iPad typo got you too with the feijoada.

Each year I go it just gets bigger and bigger yet the comradery and friendly banter remain. You definitely feel like you are among friends and the machines hold up magnificently well despite the flogging they get. Come to think of it I've yet to see a pin that's been out of order.

Hot damn! This sounds like about the best time in the world! Even though I don't know what the eff "depending on what sort of sand grobber you are you might need a jumper" means haha.

Colloquially some one from western Australia is referred to as a sand grobber, a queenslander is a cane toad,a south Australian is a crow eater and a Tasmanian is a two headed inbred freak. Hope this helps.

It is sand gropper not grobber haha I'm from western australia.......

LOL, yes indeed it does! Quiz me later.

Yes indeed. Meant gropper don't even know what a grobber is.

Sh*t that is one sweet looking space RD, and I thought my lounge was big at 10.5 x6.5 metres, got my full size snooker table in though.....boyhood dream tick

Giggly girl excited bump. Any updates for us plebs? Has a line up of venues been set? Would particularly like to hear about the Christchurch collections.
