Balrog defeats Lionman!

Worst part about pinball is getting the things out of my evil basement. Lost one of the two trees I used to anchor my winch to and made a new cart to slide up the track. Things were going great until I realized that I neglected to account for the longer tow rope that now needed to travel a shorter distance.

doh

Was able to adjust and found success on the second trip. Swords of Fury is in the garage and ready to load tomorrow.

Saturday can't come soon enough!

Sooooo much pinball! I agree that MGC in it's new location is far superior to Expo. Great show. Attendance is highly recommended, especially the after party if you want to play pinball.

I did not count and so I don't know if the used carry-in section was smaller this year (still a ton of great games) or just seemed like fewer games since it was dwarfed by the gigantic vendor area. The only After Party pic I took, since I was too busy playing

It was nice to have all the parts and mod vendors in the hall. They had a bunch of interesting stuff for sale.

My unsolicited opinion of the new(er) games: (yes, I am dead inside)

1. Wonka: Solid game. Looks great, fun to play. Didn't really understand the toys in my limited exposure.
2. BK:SoR: Did nothing for me on any model. I'm a geek; the theme is right in my wheelhouse and I just didn't like the layout or the art. I haven't been as bored by an upper playfield since GoT. Kind of a No Fear vibe to it. YMMV and my opinion is often wrong.
3. Munsters: Never liked the show, but I thought the art looked great. Standard modern stern. Fun, but forgettable. Mini-playfield is a waste of time.
4. Oktoberfet: I had more fun playing the mini-playfield on Munsters than this entire game. Maybe it was just the specific pin that I was on with the back legs as flat as the front, but it was slow and floaty like Hobbit(an achievement for a standard sized game). By the end, I was almost trying to let the ball drain, but it wouldn't -so slow I couldn't miss and you need to watch the ball to avoid seeing the art- Just make it stop.
5. CGC: Not really new, but I thought their stuff was the best in the vendor area. I think I need to buy an MMr. (Please start making them again)

Great show, worth the trip.
