    I had a pocket full of cash to spend at the vendor area, but there seemed to be less vendors this year. Allentown had a lot more if I recall (only went once).

    No complaints about the show....The organizers and volunteers did an outstanding job.

    The clowns were frightening, as they always are, but that was a brilliant idea to have wandering entertainers. Details like that are what make Pintastic...Fantastic.

    Free play area was nice, and the machines in there were in much better condition than the previous year. It's a comfortable room to play in as well.

    Timing probably wasn't good, but it would have been nice to have NIB pins available for purchase to take home. Had there been boxes of Ghostbusters, Hobbit, etc.....I would have bought one.

    Quoted from mainelycoasters:

    I was worried about some of this coming in to the show...mostly the break down issue....I brought 5 and bought Metallica pre show to make my 6 at show pins. After seeing what gabe brought and others last year, If they can do it so can I. I tried to bring pins not on the list. I am already planning on bringing 6 again. I don't bring my new sterns because I figured Automated would and I wanted people to play his games and talk with him if they liked them. I did bring BOP2.0 and LCA mostly because they are not common to find and play. Ripley is old enough I knew Automated does not have them for sale. I may bring my TFLE next year not sure. I have to get starscream to stop being dumb first.
    I agree if we can get even 40 people to commit to 2 games, just 2 games that is 80 games for freeplay alone. Then add the big guys who bring 5 to say umm 12 and you end up with a ton of them!

    Yes, bring the TFLE.... You'll win "best in show" again with that pin for sure.

    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Again, because I actually respect others' right to privacy, I will NOT publish pictures of Taxman here, although that would have been the sensible, retaliatory thing to do.

    Are "those kind" of pictures even allowed on Pinside? :p
