    Quoted from rotordave:

    They used to have quite a few there in the 90s but got rid of them when the popularity waned.
    They got put in containers and shipped to Europe and Australia.
    I have a few ex Japan machines in my collection. Theyve done a lot of miles ....
    Made in Chicago
    Shipped to Japan
    Sold and shipped to Europe
    Sold and shipped to New Zealand
    They've traveled the globe!!
    rd.

    I used to frequent the arcades in Tokyo in the 90s and there were indeed pins in a few locations but pretty much none the last time I was there in 2006. Not surprising they got exported considering how small by U.S. standards most Japanese homes are. There's probably not much of a 2nd hand collector market since space for something as large as a pinball machine is at a premium.
