    2. Is he famous or something along those lines?

    Think he’s in the middle.

    American Pinball talk should be kicking off about now?

    #1119 5 years ago

    I’ll be going by my self (first one) tomorrow. If anyone else would like to explore together PM me. I’d love to meet some fellow pinheads and hang out at expo.

    #1120 5 years ago

    Is there a cutoff for kids pricing, or is it all the same?

    #1121 5 years ago

    So my buddy most likely just won that Chicago coin bowler (288 score). We're from the east coast and have zero connections or ways to get it home. If anyone is interested in buying it or trading for a pin please let me know.

    Who had/has all of the project games in the corner of the second room where all of the video games are? If you see this hit me up- Interested in a couple. I thought I took a pic of the contact info but.....John?....

    #1125 5 years ago

    And did anyone check out the Black and white TZ? I thought that looked pretty bad ass.

    That would make for a pretty cool limited edition game.

    Quoted from Wmsfan-GAP:

    Yes. It's insane.

    #1127 5 years ago
    Quoted from Langless28:

    Yes. It's insane.

    Has anyone played it? It seems like it would be very hard to follow the ball...especially the powerball.

    #1128 5 years ago
    Quoted from Zablon:

    Has anyone played it? It seems like it would be very hard to follow the ball...especially the powerball.

    I think they were keeping the play on it to a minimum as I think the asking price is kind of way up there....

    What is the JJP booth like, how many POTCs?

    #1131 5 years ago
    Quoted from solarvalue:

    SDTM Exclusive: Oktoberfest: Pinball On Tap

    Actually looks like a fun game....

    #1133 5 years ago
    Quoted from PtownPin:

    I think this might be a really fun game and theme. Man I’m official impressed with pinball this year, all us pinheads are in a pretty good time to be in this hobby.

    #1134 5 years ago

    The new MBr’s looked great!

    We had some technical difficulties with our network connection and sound. We will stream Monster Bash Remake LE tomorrow, Friday, October 19 at 7:00 PST. For those who connected to Twitch waiting for our stream to go live, thank you for your patience. We hope to see all of you joining us on Twitch tomorrow night!

    We have been impressed with the show so far. As a vendor, we couldn’t ask for better treatment. Not sure how it was in the past, but the vibe feels a lot like Texas for us. There was a lot of traffic in the vendor hall and a ton of games, include POTC, MB, all the new sterns, Houdini, Oktoberfest and many others, including TAF, bsd, jm, bm66, gb and tz. Couldn’t ask for more.

    I went into the free play room for a little while and there was a nice selection of games. Played checkpoint, totan, pinbot, police force and a few others, all played well...thx to those who brought games.

    If you are at the show the next two days, stop by our booth, we like meeting fellow pinsiders. We have a beautiful DI CE on free play in our booth, which I had never seen, take your shot at knocking me off as GC, 2 mil yesterday. If you do it, I’ll give you a free Lermods T-shirt.

    This is really good to hear. Small vendors (like me) are very interested in how the show works out for our peers... I hope Chicago has rebounded and that it's great for you guys.

    Are all the middle-of-the-nighters fast asleep?

    #1144 5 years ago

    yes Oktoberfest and monster bash kicked there ass last night. I'm up for a seminar

    #1145 5 years ago

    Keep'm coming! We are living vicariously through your pics and video.

    Quoted from lancestorm:

    Are all the middle-of-the-nighters fast asleep

    When I go to expo I am up till 4 or 5 in the morn. This is the reason my wife will not go with me anymore!

    #1146 5 years ago

    That's an impressive number of free play machines available this year. Great amount of up(not broke down) pins, and it isn't 60% EM. A thumbs-up indeed.

    Quoted from s1500:

    Was just there this morning.... not sure if I really agree. Lots of EM, lots off , and a bunch not working. Perhaps Im spoiled in chicago with all of the great barcades, but paying $30 for today so far was 100% not worth it for me.
    Games I came to play
    Godzilla. Off
    Dark knight off
    Totan: one ball missing error

    And twd premium.. not there but was pictured yesterday.

    does anyone know if they moved the walking dead premium that was in the free room yesterday? Was it sold and removed?

    Hope the main room is better tonight.

    #1148 5 years ago

    After months of handwringing and negativity about this show it is great to see people actually having fun at the show. Keep the impressions and photos coming!

    #1149 5 years ago

    I was going to head up last night but got bogged down with work. The one game I absolutely want to play is JJ POC. Are there any of these on the floor available? Last year I was there for the release but it was a scene and a half and I didn't get near one.
