We felt so bad for the guy that dropped his pin off of the cart top side down, broke the glass ... maybe more. Ouch!

Yeah, that was awful. Poor kid.
Quoted from capguntrooper:Best looking Atlantis I have ever seen and there is a constant line on the JJP machines
Yeah, one of like 6 machines Pinsider Skypilot brought for everyone to enjoy! Great dude, he even brought a Cactus Canyon fresh off a purchase for people to play before he starts a restore on it, it's collectors like him that make these shows great! Thanks Keith!
Quoted from Pinballdad1961:Looks like a great show - are there any EMs for sale?
Yes lots actually.
Quoted from capguntrooper:All right dude I waited in line for two other pins, after I was done the same little kid behind you was still waiting to play. If I see you playing four games again I am tripping on your power cord.
That's how that dude was on every game I saw him on. He was hogging that GOT for at least 45 minutes.
Lots of fun oddball games on Friday! Can't wait to get more time in on Surfin' Safari, Deadly Weapon, and maybe try that Dialed In thing everyone seems to be excited about 
Robo-War is being criminally underplayed; folks don't know what they're missing!

Posting a pic here will really fix him up.
Another reason to also attend the VFW Pinball show (www.vfwpinball.com). We have aisle monitors that will take care of situations like this. If the orange shirt workers don't notice a situation like this, just point it out and it will be taken care of.
Quoted from Leachdude:Maybe you could politely tell him the pinball etiquette, he could just be joe blow from the streets and thinks what he is doing is fine.
I never get why people just post pics on the internet vs talking to the guy. He might not know it's rude. Some people are just born assholes with no consideration for others. These people need to be told it's not cool. You could always walk him over the golden arm wrestling machine and demonstrate your manliness to him after.

What is this VFW show you speak of? Never heard of it in any other pinball show thread before.

I told him politely that everyone is just playing one game and there are other people waiting to play. Dude knows exactly what he is doing and is completely aware of pinball etiquette, he is just being a jerk. There is no need for me to prove my manliness those that know what I do know it is the in tact

I was kidding about the manliness part.

Here's an update for vfw show coming soon and I believe Saturday is sold out must pre buy tickets, no tickets at the door
Great show. Special thanks to the father & son who were playing Batman66 while I was in line behind them with my grandson. The kid needed a bathroom break. When we got back they had put us in on a 4 player game. This is what it's all about.
Phoebe's Fathom is drop dead gorgeous.
Fathom Was Beautiful, my 8 year old decided he loves wood rails, I was really liking the Pin Stadium lights on Aerosmith, and I played Medusa for the first time...My show favorite. Great show as always. See you again next year.

I was disappointed with the number of games at the show this year. At least 20 less machines than last year. Still enjoyed it!
Yes. Less games this year. Which means longer lines. But still quite a few that I haven't played before. And I always love that.
Quoted from PinRob:Little closer to the flipper button may help. Unless she was plunging
I'm sure she was plunging. She's a pretty good player.

I would agree, this year was pretty weak. Most of the show has packed up and gone home tonight. I'm curious to see what's left tomorrow @ 1

Just this and some tumbleweeds.

Thanks Gnatty,
It's always great to see everyone at these shows. I appreciate all the nice comments on Atlantis and bringing Cactus was fun. I had no idea how many people have never played it before.
The Cincy group, Annex and Mot brought quite a few games also.
Had a great time at the show; definitely going to be back. Loved the Ghost Town shooter - should have brought it home!
BeyndtstngI recorded these on my phone Friday. Thursday had a little less pins and less people. Saturday was a lot busier but around 6:00 the machines started to thin out.
Part One
Part Two
Quoted from wayout440:We had a blast playing that. Thanks for bringing it!
Glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately it fried the bat coil yesterday evening. Tried to repair it but I think 3 days of play on a 50 year old coil was just too much.
I made the drive from Cincinnati and with a buddy and had a lot of fun. There did seem to be fewer pins and some on the list were not there/operational on Saturday. But, that's pinball!
Thanks to all who brought their machines to the show!
It was another great show. Lots of really nice games my favorite was the Bally Fathom. Something about its play kept bringing me back for more. It was great seeing all the regulars again. Thanks for putting it on and to all who brought games to share!
Yesterday was my first time at the Ohio show. It was smaller than I expected, but the quality and quantity of really good games was better than other shows I have been to. Thanks sky pilot for bringing cactus canyon - had never had the chance to play it before. I thought the best machines were the Congo in the center area, the demo man in the tournament, dialed in (of course), Aerosmith, firepower and fathom. The tournament was really fun and I liked that you could buy beer at reasonable prices. The only part that I didn't like was that there weren't many vendors selling new products and the vendors seemed to clear out early Saturday evening before I had the chance to buy anything. Maybe I should have shopped earlier, but I didn't think it would be an issue at 6pm when the show closed at 11 with one more day to go. Either way, was definitely fun and always enjoy hanging out will fellow pinsider amenbrother.
