Quoted from midcoastsurf:Any way to pre-order? Would hate to miss out.
Be careful of a preorder. If you’re a tall person he might not be able to deliver on his high five.

Quoted from dirtbag66:I imagine a Pinside party would look like:
Bangerjay in the green mankini. That is what it looks like.

D0008C60-E3AD-426F-A6BA-EBF967F30896.gifQuoted from drfrightner:I have a question. I've never been to this show and if I come I can only come on Thursday. Can you buy a game from either a vendor or private seller and remove it Thursday night? Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance.
Quoted from Yelobird:No. Like most shows the games on the floor are there for the duration for others to enjoy. There is an alternate thread covering what is for sale/trade at Expo for those wanting to meet in the parking lot to do trades. So like this some don't but from years ago shows it was always crappy to see games being turned off or wheeled out on day one because the new owner Had to have it now. Hope you can make it!
Hello everyone,
I just wanted to talk about this for a minute.
Vendors selling games in the vendor hall can sell what they want and let it go when they want it to. That is something you will have to work out with them.
Games in the game hall can also be purchased at any time. Staff is only able to help during certain times and the info can be found on the Pinball Expo website. There is only one side effect. If the person bringing the game sells it before the show ends their armband has to be returned when the game is removed from the show.
That said, we obviously want games to stay for the whole show if at all possible.
If there are any questions, feel free to reach out to me in email or (224) 279-1545.
I hope this helps clarify, and appreciate your attendance. It's a blast and I hope you have a great time.
Thank you much,
Andrew Barney

How about someone that wants to bring a game for free play tomorrow but needs to leave first thing Sunday morning?

Okay well now I really feel bad about not bringing a game. Haha. Maybe I still will. Is it an issue to just show up with a game around 5pm tomorrow night? Haha. Might be a last second decision for me.

Quoted from damonbeals:Per the expo website Elvira is charging $40 to sign and $40 for a selfie.

For $80 she ought to sign a glossy color 8" x 10" and a full-color 18" x 24" poster (that she provides) *and* let you record a 1-minute video in which she says your name at least 6 times while pretending you've been good friends forever. And she should be in the complete Elvira getup while doing so.

Sadly, this pricing is comparable to what Comic Con charges. How that price will be perceived by this audience remains to be seen.

Andrew,
Thanks for the clarification I think most people who come from out of town can't stay the entire time... I know I can't. I go to many tradeshows and the last day is always the most dead as a doorknob. It only makes sense to let people sell their stuff and allow it to be removed when those customers are leaving.
I feel better knowing it can be done! I was bringing a truck just in case rather than my faster Hellcat Redeye! LOL I didn't think I could get a pinball game in it but driving up there would go a lot quicker! LOL
I guess now I'll switch back to the truck! Darn! LOL
Quoted from drfrightner:Anyone have the link to what's for sale at Pinball Expo?

Do you take requests?
If so I've never played WWF royal rumble

Sorry. Dipsy doodle is the big winner. Other people gotta see this one. My buddy did a bang up job restoring it.
Normally I would though, and Im pretty sure I have the nicest original WWF on the planet.

Bring it. We can settle the score on this beauty at the show. It’ll be nestled up next to Gottlieb alley with Cincy league crew.

When she was at TPF there was a line out the door because she genuinely spends a nice amount of time with each fan and doesn't rush them through. I'm sure those that waited and paid, appreciated it.
Quoted from dirtbag66:Oh my God. Pinside party? When I close my eyes this is what I imagine a Pinside party would look like:
Here's the photograph of the luminol test the police took after the last Pinside party at the Westin. Honestly, you might want to keep your eyes closed.

But what about the Lebowski rug? It tied the room and Pinsiders together!

I’m not saying she’s not a nice person … but @ $40 per signature/selfie, she should - and can afford - not to rush them through.
I remember the days when most celebrities used to genuinely appreciate their (respectful) fans and *not* charge them for an autograph or a quick picture, particularly when already appearing as part of a promotion. I guess not all vendors have to pay for space in the vendor hall.

My wife and I will be traveling in today and will be down the road a piece at Pacman Entertainment (formerly level 257) in Schraumsburg around 8pm ish for pinball warm ups and drinks after the long drive. Come on over and see us if you are in the area.
