Quoted from CoreyStup:Louisville Arcade Expo, Retro Shop and Marco Specialties are teaming up for 2019 to offer show discounted Stern machines for pre-sale starting today!
Games will be shipped to LAX, unboxed and setup for free-play in the Marco tent for the duration of the show. This is a great opportunity to get a new Stern game with just a few days of play on it. Shipping and sales tax are free too!
Louisville Arcade Expo will also provide a free weekend pass with each game!
Games available:
Munsters Pro
Deadpool Pro / Premium
Iron Maiden Pro / Premium
Guardians of the Galaxy Pro / Premium
Star Wars Pro / Premium
Batman Premium
Ghostbusters Premium
Metallica Pro / Premium (Monsters)
Star Trek Vault Pro / Vault Premium
AC/DC Vault Pro / Vault Premium / Luci
Click here to email Tony at Retro Shop (http://retroshopky.com) for more information on pricing and availability. All orders must be in and paid for before February 8th or the games will not be delivered in time.
The fine print:
- Quantities of some games are extremely limited.
- Games must be pre-ordered and paid in full on or before February 8.
- Games will be setup and set on free play for the entirety of the show.
- You're responsible for breaking down, packing up and transporting the game after the show ends on Sunday at 4:00 pm.
- All sales are final. No upgrades/downgrades.
- Credit cards will incur an additional fee. Check/money order/wire transfer is best.[quoted image]
Good thing you're not offering this on CGC games too or it may just be too good for me to pass up on and I don't really have room for another game right now!

Quoted from chuckwurt:Bummer! Maybe someone will see this and be able to help out with an OG A/V board.
That would be cool even if it was just a loaner / swap for the weekend.

Quoted from Aflacjack:Will there be a CIRQUS VOLTAIRE there?
I thought about taking mine but it sent me a message or two at Pincinnati that it does not want to be a show game so hopefully someone else fills that void.
Quoted from chuckwurt:Haha. I think you would’ve fixed it faster had you not been 10 bourbons deep.
Maybe, maybe not - thankfully we'll never know!

If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at anytime. Thank you.

Uber / Lyft drivers will be making some $$ there next weekend!
Just saw that American Pinball is sending an Oktoberfest test game to the show, can't wait to play it and see how much it's changed since Pincinnati!
Quoted from Dantesmark:No monkey business?
He may still be around somewhere, have to keep an eye out for him!
Quoted from Aflacjack:Will a T2 be there and still hoping a Cirqus.
What kind of Bourbon do you have to bribe someone (cough, cough) to bring a C.V. to the show??
Quoted from chuckwurt:I think I saw him in the bumper cars one video.
I'm still partial to his appearance on the translite they had at Pincinnati!
Quoted from Aflacjack:Name it!
Rock Hill Farms, Weller 12, Old Rip or Pappy! If you have those you could probably sell them and buy a game with the market the way it is!! 
Quoted from goingincirclez:It's been a hellacious week: my girls are smart enough to fix pins to an extent, but dumb enough to pour fishtank gravel down the bathroom sink (yay I just love plumbing and cutting pipes). Fixed that, and the inherited "but it held for how many decades?" repair to a sanitary drain promptly took its cue to start leaking because eff you that's why. Day job devolved into a circus, side gig deadlines crushed me, my buddy got lifed so he (and his 5 games) can't make it, and in the last 8 days I've had to redneck 2 miraculous fixes I'm both proud / not proud of to keep my pinhauler (is there anyone else idiotic enough to daily a 25-year old Aerostar?) spitefully running long enough to schlep my reduced meager offering of two pins to this show.
And then in spite of the recent dry spell, all the rain made the walkout steps so permanently slick, I slipped and bashed the corner of Bad Cats (restored partly by my girls) into a door piston. Ugh. Cracked, and at least it didn't drop.
I refuse to admit defeat, so even though this seems ready to still blow up in my face, the barge is loaded and ready (?) to head out tomorrow. If anyone sees a decrepit green van on the side of I-64 or US60 westbound toward Louisville tomorrow, help a guy out! Otherwise I'm jonesing for a well-earned break and can't wait for the party to start...!
I don't know you but if you find me at the show I will buy you a drink to reward you for your perseverance!!
Quoted from t8tony8t:I will bring a Cirqus to the show if someone buys me a beer!
Wow, you really under-cut my deal by a HUGE margin!!! 
Quoted from t8tony8t:I have not. But I’m serous. My C.V will be there. Think we have 16 pins loaded up. See y’all this weekend!
That's awesome, I'd bring more if I had a way to haul them. Since we don't need two CVs there I guess it's STTNG after-all. Now if someone still wants to share some bourbon with me, I'm still more than okay with that!
On that note - is there an updated list of Pins that are registered to be there?
Quoted from t8tony8t:I will bring a Wellar 12. Just find me.
I'll bring some Antique or something equally good!
Quoted from chuckwurt:A group of us are going to recbar Saturday night to play in an impromptu tournament if interested. I’ll post here with more details but shooting for 10:30pm recbar Saturday night.
I'll be there to donate my $20 to the winners.
Quoted from WeirPinball:Looks like the trip will be delayed til later in the day. Who told Stern to deliver Munsters LEs on Friday?
First world problems!
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:Please post pics of Oktoberfest playfield gang.
Thanks
Haven't been able to grab any photos yet but it looks really nice to me.
Quoted from snyper2099:Is that GoldenEye for sale?
There are two of them here and one is for sale.
Quoted from rlbohon3:Great show so far tonight! Be sure to check out my buddy’s Fun House. Definitely equipped with a few unexpected extras. Bad Cats played awesome. Nice, smooth playing game. Loving Circus Voltaire too. Met a nice guy who played my Getaway, scored 450 million tonight on his first game in over 20 years. FP and TMNT getting some good play too. Lots of fun overall.
[quoted image]
That is one very nice Getaway, wonderfully lit for a dark show and buttery smooth!
I have to give a shoutout to t8tony8t and the whole crew at RecBar here in Louisville. They already had a bunch of great games here but when someone else that had a big space reserved couldn't bring their games these guys pulled 5 or 6 more games in for the show at the last fricking minute. These are the same top-notch guys that did essentially the same thing at Pincinnati in November. If you are ever in Louisville or anywhere close please go visit them, buy a ton of tokens, beers, booze, food, etc. and thank them for being awesome!!!
P.S. It won't be a sacrifice because they have an amazing lineup anyway.
Quoted from jclass:Anyone end up with an extra CGC show game that is for sale. Would like to take advantage of that promotion but live way too far away to drive to Louisville or Texas.
There was an unsold AFMR SE sitting there for $7K at the end of the show, it's a good thing I didn't have a way to haul it and my game back or I probably would have bought it. Talk to ZMeny at Flip N Out to see if it is still available, what shipping would cost, etc.
