Quoted from Conrad:We get an entire evening to ourselves till I think was 2am, noone else allowed (people who brought pinball machines)for playing all the new machines that vendors brought and the ones collectors brought. So we got to play all the new stuff besides ours. Than they do trophy's as well for machines like best DMD, best 90s era etc.
I'd be happy to look into bringing this back
Quoted from northvibe:You talking 2dcon or mgc? At 2dcon two years ago, it was dead at night so we played until 4am like the old mgc days. I played LoV for 3 days straight, it was amazing
I may have snuck into the arcade an hour before it opened to do some, uh, quality testing. Need to make sure Queen and Godfather were working.
Quoted from LTG:51 years ago today we unlocked the doors for the first time at 3pm. First customer was two hours later, Mike McNeil, he got $2 worth of quarters. Reflecting back on all the people that were customers, many became friends, and sadly the ones who are no longer with us. I come to realize how lucky I am. Thank you all !
LTG : )
Lloyd congrats! It was great to talk to you today and play the games!

You split before I could thank you and say good bye and wish you a safe trip home.
Thank you for helping make this day special !

This was at MGC last year.
I want to thank everyone who made the anniversary of my business special. I appreciate all the posts and kind words. And happy to see some that were able to make it in and reminisce. And thank you for the gifts. And only 3,287 days until the 60th Anniversary party !
LTG : )
You should also post what you are looking to get. I always assume someone’s price isn’t realistic if they aren’t willing to even have a start.

Fork, yeah! It's about time, too! Woo-hoo! Let's see a fistful of those stored/missed pins back in action! Can't wait!
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:Fork, yeah! It's about time, too! Woo-hoo! Let's see a fistful of those stored/missed pins back in action! Can't wait!
Great news! Says they will have over 40 pins as well!

I think they messed up the dates.
Last I talked to John, he said they open on Wednesday the 11th with a grand opening on Saturday the 14th.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:I think they messed up the dates.

That makes total sense, as many places do soft openings. That way if something needs to be corrected before the grand opening, they can always say "Hey, we told you we'd be open on the 14th!!"

Guys listen to Bill. There is no where better to play Pinball in North Dakota than Brewhalla. Get amazing beer, pizza, gelato etc while you play an awesome selection of pinball. If you have to come to North Dakota, you may as well have some fun.

Did you purposely hide your Thunderbirds in the corner because you’re embarrassed to have it? 
In all seriousness, very nice place.

May have to take a trip up there this fall Bill. Looks and sounds like a blast
Did something occur in here with Jason_Jehosaphat that I missed? Posts missing/removed and an eject icon by his last post?
skink91 If I had to guess, it was his cutesy ad non-ads saying he wasn't really listing a game but instead his "Elegant Lady named E the Third is desiring a new escort, as she is a barely molested beauty of 35 tickles" stuff.
Kinda funny and clever but maybe not okay to pretend you're not selling by being goofy about it? He now has a normal ad up so maybe that was the wrist slap to follow whatever rule it is. To sell a game in here, you gotta say you're selling a game I guess!

Ah. I figured it must have been at least related to those (rather odd) posts. Is there a specific rule about needing to create ads to sell things?
Quoted from skink91:Ah. I figured it must have been at least related to those (rather odd) posts. Is there a specific rule about needing to create ads to sell things?
Marketplace ads are required for games with a $3k price tag or above.
Aha. Haven’t revisited the community rules for awhile, but:
“- Games listed in the regional For Sale forum threads must have an accompanying MarketPlace ad (embedded via the shortlink provided in the ad) if the game is $3,000 or greater. Intentional lower pricing to skirt this rule (i.e. listing for $2,995) is not allowed.
- It is strictly prohibited to post fake, funny, crazy or otherwise non-serious MarketPlace listings. Doing so may lead to revoking of your MarketPlace placing abilities. “

In all seriousness, very nice place.
Its such a terrible game. Being shamed to the corner is definitely appropriate.
The lineup at Drekker is definitely destination worthy. The only thing needed is connecting all the Insider Connected machines to the wifi there. Couple games still aren't online yet. 
I have a client with a ball bowler united team bowling 6 player. He is in Southern mn. Cosmetics are very nice from pics. He has moved it to his garage for easy pick up. He is at 1k. Please pm me for.more details. Just trying to help him move this.

We just can't let go of Thunderbirds but we also can't let it mingle in the "general population". It's one of those games we rarely see (for valid reasons) and would likely never buy again.
We finally have all our Spike 2 Sterns on Insider Connected after some battles with the wifi!
Thanks again to all our clients and supporters.

Please don't quote me if you're don't know or remember what I wrote, in particular if you include the word "molested," something I most certainly did *not* write or imply. If a date - which is what in fact I did write - is to you the same as an assault, you should probably get some help. Thanks.

Come on dude. The way I remember it is also some version of “virtuous maiden” or some such thing as well. ‘Unmolested’ or ‘barely molested’ is an entirely different intention of speech than some type of assault as you imply… and is a mere hop skip and jump from what you said.
Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Unbelievably Thunderbirds isn't the worst game at Drekker. They have a very rare Cosmic Carnival that works on occasion, if you're unlucky. It is absolutely gorgeous and I bet casuals enjoy it, but it plays like a garbage can.

I would disagree, code on Cosmic Carnival sucks but it's way more fun to shoot than Thunderbirds.
They both stink. But its rare to see two in one location so I appreciate it for that - even if I never play them at this point.

I've thought up a half dozen smart ass replies, but they wouldn't make either of us feel good, and I just don't have energy or care to stir up pointless pinball drama. There's plenty already.
My intent wasn't misquoting you out of malice, but a joke about your joke post, and I'm sorry if I angered you or hurt your feelings. I'll go get some help. Good luck with your sale and finding a date for your pinball machine.

I honestly believe that Suncoast blew the budget on Cosmic's art and figured they would get to the code after they started selling.
Truly some really amazing Dirty Donny art.......paired with fisher price code
just listed a very nice Palace Guard for sale. Add A ball version of Royal Guard.
Quoted from madtown:Wondering if anyone near madison sells anti reflective glass, invisiglass/vodoo ect. Might be interested in buying some. Or if anybody is looking to sell theirs, dm me please!
Check with Chris at Kingpin.

If Jim doesn't have it, you can order it from me here and either pick it up by the dells, or we can arrange to drop it off when we come through town.
we are also offering free pick up of products at Pinball Expo

Tough day to list a Stranger Things!
Anyone heard about the not backwards compatible new projector they're putting on the new premiums? Wouldn't you just need a diff apron and the new projector? I've never owned one but I think I remember seeing that the old one is HDMI isn't it?
It's really tempting because there isn't another game like it with the projector and the UV lighting. As a pinball machine it is so unique that way. The layout is generally pretty good. That little kickout shot is kinda lame and that hole center left is lame but the rest of the game is a total banger. The soundtrack is awesome, the colors. THE VIBE. Stoked they are making more of this game and hopefully we will see more on route.
What is the rumor on Jaws lately? March? Will there be another Stern cornerstone this year?
