Yes and no.

I wouldn't consider the games 'in storage' as most people think of it. We have full-time technicians that work on and need access to the games year-round. We are setting up a new studio at HQ2 for PAPATv and have many exciting things planned for that as well.

The old facility wasn't really public anymore as we had only held one public event there in the past two years.

Double post.

I'm really bad at the internet this morning.

I don't really see there being less access than there was in the past two years.

We've already been increasing the number of events we take machines to and will continue to work with the local leagues as well.

Anyone who was at PAPA 21 or the last Pinburgh in the old facility (we only had 400 players) knows we had outgrown the facility.

Selling the building had to occur so we could continue to grow.

The Replay Foundation is actually doing more things now with the collection than we ever have. We will continue to run the Stern Pro Circuit Finals as well as Pinburgh. And now that the building has sold, we can start exploring planning out other championship events.

There is a lot of exciting stuff going on behind the scenes right now that we hope we can share with everyone soon.

The machines are actually on legs and playable right now in HQ2.

Once we are settled in to HQ2 we will immediately begin preparations for ReplayFX/Pinburgh 2019. Game testing/prep is scheduled to begin in early February and I have the preliminary banks drawn up.

If I had to place a bet, I wouldn't think we would be able to pull off PAPA 21 in 2019 mostly because this move has put us behind already for FX prep.

Our primary focus for Pinburgh is to continue sourcing games, techs and TDs so we can grow the event to allow more people in. We would prefer not to exclude anyone who wants to play, regardless of their pinball status or ranking.

Pinburgh tickets are non-transferrable so scalping hasn't been an issue that I've seen.

We will have further details available when it is appropriate.
