Quoted from lordloss:

Was thinking about selling my STTNG to fund a TSPP. Game has color DMD, Full LED package, and a few more decent mods. I'll get a full list later.
$4600, located in Boyden IA.

I have a TSPP I was thinking of trading out for another game....STTNG is one I might be interested in. Wanna trade?

Quoted from NightTrain:

Hey guys/gals. I've got nephew and a niece with a birthday coming up in June and I was thinking about getting them a cheaper pinball machine. Their parents don't have a lot of disposable income or the know-how to make this happen and I would love to get them into pinball at a young age. My nephew will be 6 and my niece will be 3. So if anyone has a cheap game that might be rough, I'd be interested in buying it. I don't care what the cabinet looks like, I imagine it may get colored on. I also don't care about play field wear. I don't mind fixing it up if there are broken switches etc. I'd love something with a DMD that would appeal to kids. Ideally, I want a TMNT as my nephew is a Turtles freak! If anyone has something like this, let me know. Thanks!

That's a really nice thought but do they have the income or desire to get it fixed when it goes down? You better ask them and explain the realities of owning a game.

Surly + Pinball = Brilliant.
I was there last year in a brewery tour and can't speak highly enough about that facility, tjeu dropped some big money on tjat place,in fact when I was there I said " if this place had pinball it would be perfect". I'm coming up from Chicago Thursday. Any good places to play on Thursday or Friday night? I'm staying with friends in Cottage Grove.

I would fix it for them. If it was a pricey board I may have to talk to them. Not too worried about that really though.

#8557 7 years ago

Will do Dave. We have completely different collections so you may enjoy mine.

Anyone else want to come over that Friday evening and show the out-of-towner a little Minnesota hospitality? PM me and lets make it a party.

Plane tickets purchased. I am flying to Chicago to do some work at Stern on the 28th, and then direct to Minneapolis on the 29th. I will stay through Sunday evening. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

If you are in Cottage Grove, you are only about 10 minutes from Sun Ray Lanes. They have league on Thursdays, so there will be people to play with if you stop up then.

Tron is a kick ass game. I figured out my remodel and am able to keep my current line up.

"Hey, anybody seen a ghost?"

Will be up and playable about lunch time tomorrow at Mortimer's for the locals. With these 2 and 2 others on loan, we should now have at least 4 Ghostbusters pins at the launch party, along with several other pins to play.

New game store is reopening under new ownership in Shakopee called Legacy Games. Retro games, MTG, and hopefully pins soon. Maybe 1 or two machines potentially in the coming year.

Only 5 days away now from the Ghostbusters Launch Party with Ernie Hudson here in Minneapolis. All the times and pricing details have been finalized. I updated the Facebook event, but for all those not on FB, all the details are in the event thread on pinside here as well...

Oh man the GB release party today was a killer, had to have been 200 or more people there, the place was packed. 4 GB Pros showed up but before the doors opened one started to smoke from inside the cabinet so we were down to 3. The lines were long for all 9 games were there but they all played well. Ernie Hudson was a HUGE hit and for the 3 hours he was there the line was always long. I could tell from watching him at the table signing stuff and having his picture taken with fans that he was REALLY enjoying himself. D&G went all out on this party and I don't think they will EVER top it. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this the HUGE success it was. I had a BLAST.

Lots more to come on this one. I can't even begin to describe how awesome that was. D&G Amusement set the bar so high with this one. Everyone who offered to step in and help out without even being asked made this a night I won't ever forget. To see all those people out there, young and old, playing pinball and just enjoying a full blown Ghostbusters celebration...that's what it's all about. I'm exhausted. I didn't play a single game of pinball all night long and I can honestly say I had an amazing time!

#8590 7 years ago

What an awesome looking event! What did everyone think of the actual game play?

Also, I was wondering if anyone has any extra parts for Skill Roll? I have a friend looking to rebuild one, but most parts are needed at this point besides the actual play field. Thanks guys!

#8591 7 years ago

Had a fun time! Didn't put any time in on the pinball games but it was good all the same. Got to hang out with friends and take in the atmosphere.

You forgot the part where you were afraid to enter the tourney.

Posted this on Facebook, but thought I would share in the forums as well for everyone...

For anyone who bought a poster and wants a cheap gameroom decoration. Hobby Lobby has 11x17 glass frames for $6.99 (only $3.48 after 50% discount).

http://www.hobbylobby.com/Home-Decor-Frames/Frames-Photo-Albums/Acrylic-Frames/Black-11%22-x-17%22-Quick-Frame/p/98613

Then go to Dollar Tree and get a big piece of green $.69 poster paper to use as a background mat. Bingo. Awesome looking decor for less than $5.00!

If you didn't get a poster at the event for $5.00, but still want one, D&G still has some available. Shoot them a message and I am sure he can hook you up. I believe there are a limited number of shirts still available if you want one of those as well. [email protected]

The official WI Ghostbusters Launch Party is this next Saturday @Alt Brew in Madison. Check www.madisonpinball.com fof full details.

We wont have Ernie. We wont have Ecto1. We wont have cosplay (well, some might I guess). We wont have Jared (he is welcome but this is not the sort of thing that people fly in for).

We will have beer (it is craft beer week) and we will still have a good time! A bit more low key for a launch but sure to still be a great way to spend a Saturday. Official trophy, a few translites, and a BUNCH of Stern swag showed up yesterday.

The launch party also provides an opportuntiy for in person registration for Mad Rollin' Pinball, the largest annual charity pinball event in the region (sells out every year even through we make it bigger and better each year).
