I feel I should chime in. This was the first show I've been to. I live about 1.5 hours away and it was definitely worth my drive and entry fee. In 5 hours I played my fill on about everything I was interested in. My wife had fun too and she's not quite as geeked about pinball as me. It would've been nice to pick up some parts though. What did surprise me was the condition of some of the games... I would be ashamed to take games like that to a show. Loose inserts that spin when the ball hits them, dead flippers, masking tape on the playfield! But lines were about what I expected, very reasonable. Some games were open, most just a player or two in line. Newest games maybe 6 in line. Lastly, nothing to do with organizers, but something that happened multiple times- stood in line for a game before realizing the person loaded up all four players! Or two friends each playing two players. Takes all kinds I guess.

Oh these were definitely pinheads.

As my grandfather said, "people are no damn good."
