So I know there’s a few Idaho pinball people out there. We all have little groups and subgroups we stay in touch with through other means. I thought I’d put it out here to see if anyone is interested in maintaining a small Idaho-based thread.
Here’s my first actually worthwhile post. Anyone know of an avengers anywhere in the Boise area (on location or private collection?)

No avengers listed. That doesn’t mean there isn’t one somewhere there.

Thanks for the help anyway! I’m hoping someone will pipe up. I want to play one as I have a friend asking about it (mostly based on theme)
hey neighbors..I am looking to trade my GB Premium for an Indiana Jones or some other interesting deal....I am willing to drive up
let me know if anyone has any ideas or interest.

Yoo! I recently took over Woodland Empires pinball operation in Boise. I've lived here for a very long time and have been competing in pinball tournaments for over 3 years here. There is a private pinball clubhouse/museum called The Ugly Gold Couch. Those guys are very nice and open up the establishment at random times for public freeplay and/or tournaments. Id suggest getting on Facebook and looking up the "treasure valley pinball" page. Its a great hub that posts about most upcoming tournaments, leagues, even public and private gatherings that are all revolving around pinball. Here's a link

You might be able to view it without a Facebook profile, not sure, but the events page is updated regularly. There's actually a pretty active and healthily growing pinball scene in boise. I think I've met some of you in the past or recently, and i hope to meet you all! Keep juggling the steel!
Ps. There is an IFPA ranked tournament at Woodland Empire today(saturday) at 2pm.
20190916_191933 (resized).jpgI love Idaho, but not many pins around. seems that all of the good action is on the east coast.
Going to Las Vegas in November, should I go to the pinball museum?

I always enjoy going to the PHOF when I'm in town, but the last few times I've gone the machines were in pretty rough shape.
well, I will go and report back here with some pics. Need to save this thread.
Btw, I am wanting to find a Doodlebug machine somewhat locally, keep an eye out for me please 
Quoted from Blenderhead:At least THIS future Ca. transplant will bring more pinball along as well!
Yes!! Being more pinball. Leave the rest of California there. We like to visit it, but don’t want to stay...
JP2 is great. Really good flow. Still early code, but fun modes and lots going on already. Stuck balls are a possibility. I've had 2 ball gates break already on the raptor pen :/ waiting on a replacement again.
PHOF is fun. They are relocating but not sure when. so if you get to see the new location be sure to post pictures. There are some cool and rare games there. Be sure to play the pinball circus, the 3 level pinball game with only 2 produced!
There is a doodle bug in boise at the pinball clubhouse. It is not for sale. There are some great EM's in the collection over there.

Are you in courdelane? I can't speak for northern idaho, but boise has a growing scene. Also the west coast has a great pinball scene. I think Washington has the most pinball tournaments of any state. Oregon and California also have tons of pinball events happening throughout the year! Part of my goal as a new operator in boise is to bring machines to the area that are not publicly available.
Quoted from DeeGor:Welcome to the valley IdahoRealtor.
Ping me after you get settled in and we can talk some pinball.
Sounds good. Hopefully robin lets me change my name!
We will look forward to including you! Beware the California backlash in idaho! Hahah. You’ll want to get those license plates changes ASAP.
I’d be willing but I’m not the best tech. I do basic stuff but sometimes refer it out to an expert.
What pin did you get?
Quoted from IdahoRealtor:We finally made it out here. Such a nice area. I love it. Half my pins still folded up in the garage. Need to get on that.
Where exactly are they in storage?... asking for a friend...
Are we going to have to ask you to change your pinside name?! Hahahah. Idahoans are pretty cool, except about California immigration. Then we can be downright childish.

Lol. I'm trying. I asked Robin to change it twice already. I put out a big American flag day 1 to show we weren't Commiefornians.
Quoted from kevster:I got Back to the Future.
And just learning the basics for now would be excellent
I can give you a crash course on basic playfield cleaning & pitching and leveling your game to spec. Only condition is we get to have a play session on your back to the future after we clean it! I do not think I've played one.
Ps. I own and maintain the pins at Woodland Empire in Boise. I believe it to be the best playing public lineup in Idaho. Games maintained regularly and pitched & leveled to spec. Squares taped around the feet, So if the game is unlevel just gotta slide it back into the squares most likely. Hopefully will be back to running weekly tournaments there.

Sorry, I completely disappeared from pinside for a while and totally missed this very kind offer. If it hasn't expired, I'd love to take you up on it And we can absolutely have a play session after! I'll PM you.
