Excellent marketing .

The 1964 1/2 convertible in the display is cool too.

These pins have the Running Horse Emblem on the back box.

This is gonna be great for pinball. Think of all the non pinheads saying "gee maybe I should get a pin" or worst case hey lets look up where we can play one, this could be huge for pinball as a whole.

Same thing happened with Tron (it got the arcade scene guys into pinball)
Same thing happened with Metallica (got the band's fans into pinball)

Some themes are great at attracting attention from outside the hobbyist bubble.

Did anybody look at the 50th Anniversary display of the Mustang? I am curious if they had my 1964 Chicago Coin Mustang on display at the Chicago show because the company that leased it from me for the Detroit NAIAS show was supposed to return it to me by 1/31/2014 and I still don't have it back and one of the employees at Imagination - The Americas (who did the display at Detroit and at Chicago) let it slip that they wanted it at the Chicago show but then back-peddled and said "but we couldn't arrange it".

And strangely enough my machine is MIA and no one seems to know where it is.

If someone could let me know if they went to the Chicago show and if my machine was actually there, I'd appreciate it.

If there are pics of it, that'd be even better!

TIA

If it is missing, that would really suck. I hope you have everything written in a contract. Good Luck.

They didn't have any brochures or anything that told you how or where you could buy one. Most people probably assumed Ford made the games to promote the car. It's a good thing Ford has them for sale on their website because that's the only place anyone who's new to pinball will look.

I was there on Sunday, and only saw the seven new Stern Mustangs...and then the Mustang cars, of course.

Was it at the Detroit show? I didn't see it in the Ford booth.

#19 10 years ago

Yes, it was at Detroit.

You had to go up the stairs to the "bridge" section that spanned the booth entry...

Too bad I missed that. Both the post and the machine on display. I went upstairs at the Lincoln booth next door but really did not spend much time in the Ford booth.
