Quoted from yzfguy:None of my games are even on Twitter!
That is going to be part of the next Stern Insider upgrade and cost $500.

Quoted from ViperTim:Rearranged a little bit in the garage. But still not satisfied.
Oh well might be adding The Shadow to the line up soon so I’ll rearrange them by then.
My wife is strong and only pin she had troubles with was Big Guns as the cabinet is quite low on it.

I don't know why it never dawned on me, but seeing you RFM made realize if I get a Pin2K I can fit another pin in my small gameroom.

Solution - get rid of the car! Got to have priorities in order...
Quoted from scootss:Very nice! Where did you get that WCS topper?
I've always liked the DMD animation where the extra ball rises out of the ground. I was going for a similar thing where the soccer ball would look like it was breaking out of the cabinet. I ran lights under the ball and tied them to flashers on the back box. I only had enough supplies to make the one side, and I always forget about the opposite side when at hardware store. Thanks for the reminder about it, I need to decide whether to scrap it or do the other side. .
The ball was from Amazon: this or very similar to this. https://www.amazon.com/Soccer-Adults-Light-Bedroom-Decorations/dp/B09LRK5H1W/ref=sr_1_14

Awesome, my wife also is OK with the pins, and Flintstones is one of her favorites and she wants to get one someday. However I don't think she will go for your backglass version.

How do you like Super Kixx vs the Chexx?
Quoted from pinballdork:Haha good eye. a bit of photo shopping multiple pics to get them all showing the titles.
Hahaha I mean this nicely but your username definitely rings true here. Good work! I’ve wanted the same thing in the past when taking pics so I totally understand.
Quoted from DVDA:it’s pretty damn fun but super chexx is still better
Yeah it looks cool. Got my super chexx last year. Fun game and gets more people playing that aren’t into the pins and arcade games.

Quoted from pinnyheadhead:I just thought about how it’s likely even more impressive to accumulate that many games since you are in Australia. Seems like getting any game can be a bit of a struggle there.
No, the market here is much smaller of course, but very active.

Just noticed i've sold 15 games so far too.
When my Mermaid comes i will have 5 aussie games here, but i'm really in a refining stage now. I used to go after the weird and wonderful, but Spectrum and Spy Hunter are the last of them. I tend to like the small run machines now too.
Bally/Williams are my faves.
It's a really pretty translight. Bit less melted crayons than the last half dozen Sterns.
First time i've seen it.
Nice job.
Buy some conduit and cover the cords, i see so many pics here of ugly cords hanging down walls and it's simple and cheap to cover.
It's almost invisible once done. two sided tape only.

6 months til that pool table is replaced by four pins 
Quoted from pinballjah:New Rush corner. Will look better when I get a premium translite in.
[quoted image]
Man, I LOVE the Pro translite? Both are good, but if I had a choice I'd definitely go with the owl.
For some reason I tend to gravitate more towards the pro translites lately. Rush, Godzilla, JP, Turtles.
Some updated pics of my modest gameroom...

Nice! I'm guessing you don't play any wildcard games!
Very nice, almost makes me miss NJ. Love the NJ Turnpike sign and blue Jersey license plate.
And you don't see many Senator's jerseys...

Poker and pinball, my favourite combination! Always try to hit up a cash game at a local casino when I drive down to the US for a pinball show.
Quoted from mbeardsley:Very nice, almost makes me miss NJ. Love the NJ Turnpike sign and blue Jersey license plate.
And you don't see many Senator's jerseys...
Thanks! There's also a Garden State Parkway sign that is partially obscured by the poker table.
I have 57 Mitchell & Ness jerseys; I rotate them in the frames usually about once a month (except for the Giants one, which was autographed by Bobby Thomson). The Senator's one is from 1959; #3 Harmon Killebrew.
Quoted from mbeardsley:You don't see many Senators jerseys.
You see even fewer jerseys for the House of Representatives.

Love it - especially Giants uni.. very cool atmosphere.

That hidden batman style switch is awesome did you 3d print the statue?
Quoted from Krh13:Quick picture from watching the Super Bowl tonight.
[quoted image]
People actually watched that?
Quoted from Trizel:That hidden batman style switch is awesome did you 3d print the statue?
Actually, a few years back, Diamond Select Toys made this full-sized replica Shakespeare bust out of vinyl as a piggy bank. I modified it by incorporating a remote control for infrared outlets, so it makes for things turning on and off much easier, and it looks cool to boot. I also added some weigh to it so it had some heft and wouldn't tip over.
The unfortunate thing is that I don't think that these are being produced anymore, and if you are lucky enough to find one you usually have to pay a premium for it:
After 14 long months of waiting for the house to be done. The day came and first room to be furnished of course the Game room. I angled them for now but will have to rearrange..Halloween CE on order.

Really nice room. I was born and raised in NJ, and I think you have captured the essence quite well.
I was 153B, I assume you are right around there.
He's in Saddle Brook, which is very close to where I went to High School (Paramus Catholic). Not sure what exit that is on the Parkway - most people go by their Turnpike exit (18W for me).
Quoted from mbeardsley:most people go by their Turnpike exit (18W for me).
In my experience it is quite the opposite, I guess it depends on where in NJ you are from. Everyone I know from NJ when they find out I'm from NJ they ask me what my parkway exit was. Same thing at my alma mater (Go Scarlet Knights)! Being from Paramus I would think you would be a Parkway guy...
I was 16W off of the Turnpike not that you were asking
