    Thought I would start a post for people with any interest in pinball flyers. Some people just collect flyers for the machines they own and hang them on the wall, some collect them in binders. In the old days before computers when I used to do service calls I carried around a loose leaf binder to show customers what I had for sale.
    It got out of control when I started my website in 1999 and I decided to scan and upload all of them. In recent years I’ve added many more foreign flyers that in many cases are the only proof the game existed.
    I thought it would be a good idea to bring it to the attention of the newcomers on pinside. So please share you’re collections and favorite flyers and by all means let me know if you have anything I can add to the collection.

    There’s also a registry if you want to trade with other collectors.

    I collect the pinball flyers too. There's a decent number of people around the world that collect them pretty seriously.

    Personally, I ran out of room for more games - so I started collecting the flyers. I've met lots of good people thru this side of the hobby.

    If you want to start collecting - join the registry on New York Pinball's site. I've got lots of spare flyers and always willing to help a new collector get started.

    #3 3 years ago

    Here's one of the reasons I like the foreign flyers, reading the descriptions of the sales pitch in broken English before the days of spell-check......guess I amuse easily .......

    Yes, foreign flyers are great. Amazing how many games were made back in the day that have not been seen in the US. Flyers are a great collectible as you will never see these games in person unless your very lucky.

    I'm known as a flyer collector. I'll be using over 90 pinball/video/arcade flyers from my collection in my presentation at the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo (http://uplink.liretro.com/). I also rely on flyers for much of the info behind my updates to the Mr. Pinball Price Guide. Most of my wants are driven by wanting to make some point in an upcoming presentation or information resource.

    I'm glad to see the Long Island Retro Gaming Expo at the Cradle of Aviation Museum is doing so well, they seem to be gaining in popularity each year. So this year they are doing a virtual version? The LIRGE is mostly video games or are they doing some pinball also? Glad to see you're incorporating flyers into your presentations. There are a lot of video arcade flyer collectors out there too.

    Had no idea the expo was still happening this year, albeit virtually. I now have plans that weekend, but will try and check it out. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully the expo will be in-person again next year. One of me and my daughters favorites.

    Yup, I collect mostly arcade flyers, but have just started getting into pinball too. The older flyers are the best. The artwork is fantastic.

    I’ll check out your site. Had no idea this was happening in my backyard. I’m across the county in Queens.

    I have at least 2-3 big binders full. I have no clue what's in them.
    One unopened package of Cactus Canyon, have no clue how many are in a package.
    It looks like the red binder has some video games in it. All the old stuff I got from a collector many years ago. One of the binders has a lot of newer Stern games in it.

    Yep, there's something about the colors on the older flyers that are really special. Some manufacturers that used color well were Atari, Gottlieb, Zaccaria, lots of the Spanish manufacturers too. I always wondered if the same artists that did the artwork for the machines did the art for the flyers.

    #12 3 years ago

    I learn so many strange little tidbits of information collecting flyers, here's an example. A Spanish manufacturer making a machine titled Apache. But the art doesn't show the typical native american indian apache, it shows a french thug harassing a woman. Curious, so when I googled Apache I find out it also means: "a member of a gang of criminals especially in Paris." who knew ??

    apache-2 (resized).jpgapache-2 (resized).jpg
    #13 3 years ago

    Things that make you go hmm. Another curious one, why would a Japanese manufacturer make a pinball machine about a mountain in the alps between Italy and Switzerland. Lots you can learn from the flyers, they mirror the times when they were made, when you start watching the way the themes match the era the machines were made, you learn a bit of history along the way.

    #14 3 years ago

    On the topic of foreign flyers. Sonic of Spain made some great colorful ones including Mars Trek circa 1977. Space age and science fiction titles are fun to collect.

    I did a quick search for comics, there's a few:
    Dialed In
    Iron Maiden
    Judge Dredd
    Space Invaders
    Strange Science

    I think that's all of them

    I have a meager collection of a few dozen. Would love to buy some more early 80's flyers but the few "mint" ones bought off eBay were shipped in nothing more than a manila folder, and by the time they arrived they were anything but mint.

    Here's an example of what's old is new again. I always thought cameras in pinball machines were a smart gimmick for JJP, but while looking through my flyers I noticed it's not new. In fact Stern did it in 1979 with a game many never even heard of, Cosmic Princess, which I think was a kit game, but the IPDB says it was made by an Australian company named Allied, so a bit of confusion on that one. But did Stern copy if from Weiko with their "Flipp Foto" idea? Then it was seen again in 1982 with Magic Picture Pin from Arkon of Germany. Then again in 1986 with Flash Dragon from Playmatic. Then I don't see any until JJP re-introduced it. Anyone aware of any camera games I'm missing? I wonder who's idea it was at JJP and what gave them the idea.....

    What are the best spooky/haunted themed flyers?

    What are the top medieval/wizard/castle/dragon/knight themed pinball flyers?

    If anyone has any suggestions, or any for sale, please let me know.

    I didn't know the IPDB did re-themed games now. I just updated my New Canasta's flyer description to show that it has a camera, thanks for that! Go Girl looks pretty unique, I heard Stern is working on something similar....or not. Pinball 42, eh, seems there's a lot of these video screen pins popping up, can't keep tract any more, nor do I want to. I think all the JJP games have cameras, don't they?

    Hmmm, there are probably many, I'll just take a stab at a few. Not sure if you're going for haunted/spooky themed, or Halloween themed or both here's a few:

    Spooky ( zaccaria)
    Americas most haunted (spooky)
    alice coopers nightmare castle
    haunted house
    addams family
    alien
    class of 1812
    devils dare
    elvira
    freddy nightmare on elm st
    ghostbusters
    mephisto
    munsters
    mystery score
    POTO
    TFTC

    There's probably many more.....

    Medieval?

    The obvious
    Medieval madness
    Dungeons and DRagons
    The black knights
    GOT's
    Gladiators
    hobbit
    LOTR

    So the “V” is a reference to the TV show, circa 2009. The green thing on the face was part of the show as well....

    I have some of these already, but some I had to look up.

    Do you know where I could get a flyer for mystery score, spooky, one of the Elviras, or class of 1812...or anyone that may have them?

    I have a scared stiff and class of 1812, figure $10 plus $5 shipping. Zaccaria Spooky is pretty rare = expensive and don't have an extra. And no Mystery Score. LMK if there's any others you need.

    #31 3 years ago
    Quoted from NYP:

    I didn't know the IPDB did re-themed games now.

    We'll show a re-themed game if we see it out and about at shows where attendees might not know it's re-themed and will search IPDB to find out more about it. We'll make a modest listing for it, to inform them it's re-themed rather than let them pull up nothing and then possibly think the IPDB omitted a factory game.

    Go Girl! got a lot of attention at its Expo appearance.

    #32 3 years ago
    Quoted from I_P_D_B:

    Go Girl! got a lot of attention at its Expo appearance.

    Must be the most obscure description of a game on the IPDB!!:

    The player has to stand on a pair of 8-inch heels to play. Making the skill shot - "spin the queen" - causes a Ken doll dressed up in drag to spin around in circles. While the game is in action, the video monitor in the backglass shows images of drag queens cheering you on when you are doing well and sassing you when you are not. Your goal is to knock down the homophobe drop targets and spell "get it girl" to lock the balls in multi-ball. When two balls are locked, your face appears on the video monitor with any one of various wigs superimposed over it. Using the flipper buttons, you are able to scroll through a dozen different hairdos until you find one that you like. That image is captured and you play multi-ball. Locking the balls again allows you to digitally apply make-up and lipstick to your image. All the while, a disco sound track keeps the action going!

    Do you have the flyer for this one Ron??

    #33 3 years ago

    I'm wondering how many people slipped into those heels to play it at Expo It actually sounds like they put some thought into the design. No flyer for that one....

    #34 3 years ago
    Quoted from NYP:

    I'm wondering how many people slipped into those heels to play it at Expo

    I wouldn't be allowed to play it, I only have 6" heels as part of my drag outfit...

    Are you sure this has a camera in it that photographs the player? I'm only aware of the projector that projects images on a screen in the playfield... like Sexy Girl does by the same company...

    I've thought of selling mine also. I must have 150 or so.

    Mostly 80's and 90's although a few older and a few newer. All manufacturers.

    I need to sit down and make a list. I've never had the ambition yet.

    #42 3 years ago

    I am looking for a midway mystery score, bally 4 million bc, bally joust, and sega monster gun.

    I am interested in medieval/castle/dragon/wizard/knight themes and also
    Spooky/haunted/monster themes

    If anyone has anything like that, please let me know.

    #43 3 years ago

    Does anyone know if Stern made flyers for Black Knight SoR which no NOT have the Planetary Pinball logo under the Stern logo? All of my flyers (Pro, Premium and LE) have this logo, Inc. doubles... as per photo below... can't see this logo on any other Stern flyer...

    Quoted from pinballslave:

    I would think not. It's probably part of the deal by which Stern Pinball licensed any WMS intellectual property related to Black Knight. That logo has not appeared on any previous Stern Pinball flyer because BK:SoR is the first game where Planetary has been the licensor's agent.
