    Due to popular demand Pinball Magazine is shipping out an extra batch of Issue No.1 on January 8th. If you haven't ordered your copy yet, this is your chance to be in this batch.

    For those wondering about Issue 2: we're working on Issue 2 and 3 simultaneously. This month a lot of interviews for both issues will take place

    On a side note: in the Pinball Magazine Newsletter, which was sent to subscribers yesterday, we asked for suggestions for future articles. Not that we have no clue what to write about, but we're a bit wondering how the balance should be between EM games, '80s games and the more modern pins. Some nice suggestions came in. Perhaps anyone over here has some good ideas too?

    For anyone on the fence on buying a copy, I can attest that to call this a "magazine" is almost a disservice, a magazine to me is something you read and discard. This is a keeper that I enjoy over and over. Very well done and it resides next to my pinball books on my bookshelf.

    In fact, I had to purchase a second copy at PPE after I inadvertently left the first one in a hotel room and the maid tossed it.

    Bring on issues 2 & 3!

    I placed an order for one myself today. Looking forward to getting it!

    I picked up mine today from Michael Schiess at Pacific Pinball Museum. OUSTANDING JOB JOOSTEN! Read the Pinball 2000 article first. Hope you'll be able to make a graph like that based on Stern machines. I'll read the rest of the magazine later on in the week.

    Thanks! Roger (Sharpe, the magazine features a 56-page interview with him) appreciated the Pinball 2000 chart as well. Many may not have looked at the games that way and it may put things in new perspective for some. Enjoy the magazine!

    #19 11 years ago

    It came in. Thanks!

    For those that are really fast: I can still include you in the batch that already shipped out. It is currently still at DHL offices waiting for transport. As a few more orders came in I am dropping these off in about an half an hour to be send out with the rest. So, if you can hurry, please do. Else you'll be in the February batch.

    Got my mag yesterday and WOW! What an incredible magazine and I can't wait till the next issue. Do you have an ETA for #2?

    Loved the article about Pinside BTW. You should do an artice on Podcast that deal with our hobby.

    #22 11 years ago

    It is an entire bound book of Roger Sharpe - order it right now!

    #23 11 years ago

    Mine arrived! Still have not opened the envelope but it is a cold, icy rainy (freezing rain) night out. After dinner I will enjoy relaxing with it. Thanks!

    #24 11 years ago

    Received mine. Very impressed. Great work!

    Thanks for the compliments As orders keep coming in there will be another batch shipping out in about 2 weeks. I figure I better announce it a bit early this time as with the previous batch several orders came in last minute, or after the batch already shipped.

    As for Issue 2: several people are transcripting the interviews I did so far and the main interview I transcripted myself for about 50%. More interviews are scheduled and it looks like Issue 2 will have a similar or higher page-count as Issue 1. I'm trying to add a few more side articles to create a better balance between the main interview and side articles. I was hoping Issue 2 would be ready by the end of March, but I doubt if that is realistic.

    Update: The next batch of Pinball Magazine #1 is scheduled to ship out Friday February 8th. In case of any unforeseen delay it will be Monday February 11th. All orders outside western Europe will be send as priority mail. So, if you're interested and haven't ordered a copy so far, here's your chance to be in Batch 8.

    Thanks,

    Due to other obligations I had to reschedule Friday's shipment to monday February 11th. The good news is that this leaves some time for more people to order a copy A newsletter with news about Issue 2 is also in the making...

    #28 11 years ago

    I got mine a awhile ago, and this thing is MEATY! I'm tempted to order a second one, and just keep in the wrapper forever!

    Thanks Speaking of the wrapper: I had to delay today's shipment as I ran out of them. That actually put a smile on my face I instantly ordered a new box and decided to go for a slightly thicker, shinier plastic foil. They should arrive tomorrow and I plan to ship Batch 8 right after that. Else, due to other obligations, it will be Friday. (so, those who are tempted to order, but forgot about it for some reason, there's about 16 hours left to still be in this shipment... )

    Well, Batch 8 will ship Friday as the plastic wrappers were not delivered as expected today. The only 'good' news is that this will allow others to still order a copy and be in this batch, but would have preferred to have shipped last monday.
