it was a couple posts up, I just knew he mentioned it somewhere, glad to help. I have to get out there and check out the games.. I've heard good things.
I don't believe I had to educate the MN crew about the release party in their backyard! and I am a Cheesehead!! If your not careful we might annex the Twin Cities Pinball scene into Wisconsin! The Wisconsin Pinball Mafia would love to get that territory 
Let me check with the Wisconsin Pinball Godfather and other associates if we want it. I call dibs on the Twin Cities territory Hilton if we do!

That just shows how much you care..........and would rather live here.

I just knew the Wisconsin Pinball Ego(tm) would grow beyond the state's boundaries. Not even Lloyd could stop that! 
Tmac > I have already been in collusion with the twincites boys and 'dibs' will be established based on the number of pins that have been assisted in movement into the state in the previous years/
Quoted from s1500:I just knew the Wisconsin Pinball Ego(tm) would grow beyond the state's boundaries. Not even Lloyd could stop that!
However, If they keep with this attitude we may need to retake ownership of all previous WI games and stop the flow of any future games across the borders...

MN and WI need to come to an agreement. You take one of ours and we get one of yours. I'll be doing that this weekend.

I agree. Someone drive over here and take my TZ and beer money but leave me your ACDC Premium....

They pull a bumper on you; you pull a ramp on them.
He sends one of yours to the tilt; you send one of his to the slam switch!
That's the Milwaukee way!
And that's how you get Skill Shot.
Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that? I'm offering you a deal. Do you want this deal?

Pretty bold to speak for Milwaukee when that isn't your town.
Pretty bummed I will no longer be a Milwaukee citizen after this weekend.

LOL... I don't think the Untouchables quote would hold the same punch, if I had said "Trevor".
(Plus I grew up in the Chicago suburbs, and now live literally walking distance to the Illinois boarder... so all my Wisc coworkers & friends still consider me a "FIB".)

In that case... Josh and Tony, when you gonna find me a few good deals on games that I can bring to WI...
Is it 3 I have now sent to MN in some form or another?
Quoted from big_ragu:Anyone looking for a fun convertible for the summer?

We'll EVENTUALLY have a spring/summer here, right??? Maybe someday?
I heard Summer may fall on a Saturday this year

Where you headed?
I grew up on 82nd & Greenfield, then 32nd and Oklahoma. Plus I went to UW-Milwaukee - so figure my Milwaukee "street cred" card is in good standing.
Quoted from Bryan_Kelly:You take one of ours and we get one of yours. I'll be doing that this weekend.
and probably taking some of our Beer also!!!!
Quoted from Methos:Where you headed?
I'm moving to West Allis from apt to rented house. It has room for a few pinball games in the walk-in basement, and has no neighbors who bang on my floor when I play them.

No but if anyone in the area has a galaxie / or galaxie 500 convertible for sale or trade I would be interested. 60-63 please.

Aww snap.... You should see the THIRD bug I just picked up three days ago.... 62 sliding ragtop from the original owner.... I think my car problem is bigger than my pinball problem
Sweet. Can't wait to take it for a spin this summer.
Yeah I just want a big old cruiser. That way I can put the top down and head your way for a day of pinball.
Plus something like that is big enough to throw a machine in the back
Quoted from ChrisS:No but if anyone in the area has a galaxie / or galaxie 500 convertible for sale or trade I would be interested. 60-63 please.
I happen to have a 63 1/2 Galaxie 500XL Fastback, but it isn't for sale. Took me a while to find a nice one, it was worth the wait. I'm losing my winter storage next year and I'd rather keep the Galaxie than the TR.
My Dad might be selling his 60 Fairlane soon. Awesome car- solid lifter 390, 4 speed toploader, power steering, power discs.
ETA: sorry, I glossed over the "convertible" part. Good luck!
Any chance you could include South Dakotans in your thread
Anyone looking to sell a Whitewater or TZ in the area? I've visited with Jason and hopefully we get something done. If not, simply wondering if anyone else has these games for sale.
Thanks.

Hey WI / MN Dudes
So I'm thinking of adding another pin the pinball road case line-up.
Looking for a routed AC/DC pro or Metallica Pro. I'm leaning to AC/DC pro. The playfield needs to be clean cab can have some wear.
I'm not sure how easy "routed" versions of either of these will be to find since I assume they both earn well.
Hit me up if you have something that fits the bill. I'd consider something in Chicago-Milwaukee Area and then in and around the twin cities.

Dang Cris, the tour is gonna have to hire another rig just to haul your pins around. 
When the tour comes to the Twin Cities you and the gang will have to stop over and play. Real easy to get to my place from MPLS.
Quoted from MustangPaul:When the tour comes to the Twin Cities you and the gang will have to stop over and play.
and buy your met pro
Quoted from davewtf:and buy your met pro
and PLAY my MetPro
Quoted from tmac:Did anyone go to the Mustang Release Party? Pictures? Results?
I was a little busy. 
Quoted from Tallon:Just poking my head in. Old to the hobby and new to the ownership.
Welcome Tallon. You've found a great little corner of the internet here.
Quoted from tmac:Did anyone go to the Mustang Release Party? Pictures? Results?
I had three of the worst games ever, completely embarrassed myself
The three tournament games were Golden Arrow, AFM, and (obviously) Mustang.
They were giving away Stern flyers and some other small swag bits.
First time I ever entered an actual tournament. Isn't it normal to have the machines set to free play after you pay to enter? Not a big deal, just kinda annoyed that I had to pay to play after I paid to play.
Didn't seem like a lot of people came through, I was there around 2pm or so. I think it ran from 9am to 5pm????
