Just wanted to say thanks Chad brobra for swinging down to Chicago and picking me up a super tasty STTNG! I advise anyone to take him on his offers to snag games for you during his routes, great deal and a pleasure to work with.
P.S. I saw the orig HUO Monster Bash hes got up for sale in person and its the cream of the crop. Someone in the market will be a happy camper. 
Quoted from brobra:If I like you, then I’ll even bring it in and set it up for early morning play
Confirmed: Unloading a STTNG AT 7am wakes you up.
Actually selling the STTNG I just got, new super tempting opportunity just popped up so I'm listing it:

Quoted from Grangeomatic:Hey, I’m heading up to Door County later this week. There used to be a few spots to play pinball there, but I’m not seeing much on the map anymore.
Any pointers on where to play a few games?
Thanks,
Jeff
No pinball pointers but have some Wild Tomato pizza for me please!
Quoted from isJ:Speaking of Pinball Map and locations: we got four games back on route. St. Paul's Bark and the Bite -- a small BBQ restaurant with great brisket, hush puppies, and a full bar.
Their soft open is slated for tomorrow and their hours are currently pretty limited to start. Pop in and show them that more games would be a welcome addition to their establishment!
Right now the four games are Theatre of Magic, AFM, TWD Pro and Star Trek Pro. We will rotate games in and out of there as time goes on.
All games are $.50/play. Wash your hands after grubbing out and drop some quarters! If you notice anything broken don't hesitate to PM me.
That is an absolutely fantastic 4 pin lineup. 
He had that premium but found a buyer. I had one for a week (I was just the mule in said transaction) but fell in love with it. Top 10 game for me now

For what it’s worth I vote not separating WI/MN. This thread does WAY more good than “bad”.
The market is what it is…up. When it’s down the prices will reflect as much. No one is being unreasonable.
Quoted from DParcade:Relocating to the Green Bay area soon. I knew where to find all the deals in SoCal, but everything looks pretty barren in the WI area so I know I need to adjust how I find pins. Where do most folks find deals in these parts?
Wisconsinpinball is a good community. Most of us trade or sell at very reasonable prices...most of us are not looking to make money or flip LEs, just play. Some overlap of members on Pinside as well...but this place is much friendlier:

Side note: I also recommend KingpinGames, great team over there.

Good morning. I have a Godzilla Pro up for trade and a list of wants but I won't list it on Pinside for a few days. More info/pics here https://www.wisconsinpinball.com/viewtopic.php?t=2536 but I'm looking for the following:
-Iron Man (vault)
-TWD Premium
-BKSOR
-POSSIBLY Ghostbusters Pro
-Tron
Public service announcement for Mazda CX-5 drivers. I always used a 2014 and 2017 Mazda CX-5 in the past to haul pins...fit all pins no problem (newer Sterns, older Bally, widebody etc) the normal way.
Bought a 2021 CX-5 late last year. Just went to pickup a Stern pin the other day and they DO NOT FIT. 
They took about an inch off clearance wise (height). Had to turn it sideways very carefully. Just a heads up for those in the market.

Yeah the opinion universally seems to be consistent. Super pleasing to look at, want to love and keep it, gets boring quick.
Appreciate all the input
Quoted from Methos:I have one and I love it, but it isn't a game for someone who rotates games in and out. Its a beast of a game, and lots of mechanical issues. But I love the theme and the amount of energy and creativity that went into it.
And it shoots nothing like a modern Stern.
Hey man! Yeah then maybe thats a good reason its not for me. Hope you're well.

Looking for a #star-wars-stern-le or Jurassic Park (Premium) or

Quoted from ralphwiggum:Spoken for!
Thank you Mr Wiggum
They will be put to glorious use!
Quoted from FatPanda:Check with Pinzap
I believe he has a mint Magneto LE available. He's a good dude. Located in Sartell, MN.
Thanks @fatpanda! Is it your old one?
I've changed my opinion since initial reveal, I think Toy Story 4 looks promising. I think there's some thought that went into the deceptively simple layout. I bet its 'fun'.

If its stock...high $5k low $6k depending on condish.
One last Monday push before I open it
switched to sale
Apologies for the multiple posts about this, I re-listed for user error reasons 
switched to sale
switched to sale:
sold
Quoted from cavalier88z24:^^^^^ I have to ask since you posted about this game multiple times. Did you really buy this game to not play it and sell it for more then MSRP?
Nope. Bought it and while waiting played it to death on location. Mainly wanted to trade but decided to list as sale as well and purchase my wishlist games that are also priced way above MSRP per the current market. My GZ is the lowest price on all of Pinside.
If you want to passively insinuate other negative intent, please message me personally.
Appreciate the support. I just like to play and have nowhere around me with a good collection to try so the only way I can put time into a machine...is buy. Sometimes I love the game and it stays (or I buy it three times ) or I play it twice and its gone!
My only options are Tilt (1.5 hrs), District 82 (3 hr), or I can buy/sell/trade and enjoy meeting all of you! I'm no saint and have backed out of deals...but 9/10 times I list games for exactly what I buy for or under.
Now if someone wants to value their Metallica Prem/Pro at MSRP...I'll do the same on Godzilla for a trade
Wanted to say thank you to Jason_Jehosaphat For giving me the lead on a Metallica Pro in Minneapolis.
He reached out to me on the side with no skin in the game and gave me the tip. I picked it up tonight…thank you very much Jason!
Quoted from atipinball:I have a Monster Bash (special edition) that I'm getting ready to list for sale, but I am having a hard time finding a price to list at. I see only two on pinside marketplace for 11,000 and 12,400. Any input on a fair market price would be appreciated. The machine is in very good condition and HUO to my knowledge.
I personally think that’s a little high. When I had Jurassic Park Premium last month I was going to do a trade for a special edition HUO monster Bash straight up and we were both happy so I would peg more low to mid 9s.
Great to meet you yesterday @pinzap. Amazing collection, hope to deal again in the future! Anyone considering buying/selling/trading with him...don't hesitate.
I'll say it for you "Wow you sure go through games quickly/didn't own that long yada yada yada" - Yep sometimes
Not busy enough with work, music, and swapping pins 7 days a week...why not try podcasting!

Happy to have another MN/WI guest If you wanna chat about our bonkers hobby

-Star Wars pro
-Godzilla pro
-Medieval madness

Quoted from roffels:I got a little sneak preview of the venue a couple weeks back, cool place, and sounds like the owners want to make it a great place for pinball players.
Noice. I'd be happy to help get a league thing going there, a tournament scheduled, or help with maintenance here or there when I have time (quite a few burnt bulbs and a couple switch issues).
Shout out to brobra on Episode 3!!

Pinball Party Episode 4
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pinball-party-podcast-1#post-7137250
Quoted from Jason_Jehosaphat:Congrats on your plug from Marty and Jeff.
You are clever. You got their attention by mock-insulting them and they apparently liked your sense of humor.
Haha thanks man. I doubled down on that even more in Ep 4
Last time I'll post about this here to not make a habit of it...but we're moving to TPN!
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/the-pinball-network-/page/73#post-7147051
Totally unrelated...I have your old TMNT now Jediturtle
Quoted from Waxx:What code improvements? I loved mine but the scoring was heavily imbalanced.
New update 9/12/22 upped the episode points: - Doubled all the scores from Episodes.
Regardless it will be back on the market any second...not my cup of tea and you did warn me haha.
See ya!
Quoted from Vitty:Best stern of all time
Yeah? I'm starting to not disagree. Seems like the most popular answer for that statement is usually Metallica or LOTR.
...But yeah even though the rules are somewhat linear, there's something about the "adventure" coupled with the fact that the music is often times chill and not subtly forcing you to always hit hurry ups so you can take your time, find your shots, attack it from different angles.
The first time i owned it a while back I didn't like it at all, must've been high on meth that day.
Well for some reason, I prefer my 2019 Jurassic Park Pro instead of this 2022 Premium? No idea what it is but man am I surprised! If anyone wants it ($8400 firm) just got it from a fellow Pinsider (HUO) but I prefer the Pro. Who knew.
Quoted from JonCBrand:You were not kidding about keeping games for days.
No I wasn't Maybe your tip up there had something to do with it ^

Hey everyone…the Pinball Awards would love your thoughts and votes on “best of” 2022”. To add your opinions:
Played a bunch more Bond today. Aside from infant code I really like the way some of the shots feel. The rocket ship area...meh...but everything else is pretty great. Hopefully the code starts maturing soon.
Quoted from anathematize:Might be outside of your range but a friend of mine has one listed and he's near Detroit Lakes, MN.
Game was immaculate last time I played it.
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/139242
Not out of my range but it looks like its sale pending
Quoted from Dan_Halen:DAMNIT!! I live 10 minutes away, but the Bond Premium on order for my friend arrives tomorrow and I gotta go to the western suburbs after work to drag it downstairs and set it up
Dude that sounds like an equally sweet night though! I love the way (most) shots feel in Bond. While you're moving it feel free to code more in the game as well please, thanks.
If anyone is looking to sell a Deadpool (Premium), PM me please.

I think its a fantastic idea. I'll promote it on the podcast tomorrow
Quoted from LTG:Thinking on trading my jjp POTC for a Godfather.
Any local offers ?
LTG : )
Disclaimer : Anything works out I will pay Pinside fee.
Possibly...I'll PM you.
Quoted from roffels:One of these days you'll have something I can trade Drac for.
Just let me know what you're looking for, and I'll try to find it Thats part of the fun imo.
Quoted from Dan_Halen:Look, we're clearly steering toward a "I'll pay you to come take this away" situation, so I'll just pop down and grab it. It'll look nice next to an original run
Feel free, just "accidentally" leave 7800 united states dollar bills behind plz.
-Foo Fighters - Very promising...I'll have a Premium in just a few weeks!
-Godfather - So early but it looks beatuiful and I've heard it shoots really well.
-Scooby - Played it twice, got a little bored but it was beautiful as well and it felt pretty great to shoot
-Pulp Fiction - Cale and Electric Bat are buying one on the first run...but that's in October...looks like a home run.
-Final Resistance/P3 - someone around here needs to get one so we can all play P3 games!
Maybe I should get a P3...
Anyone got a TWD for sale? Prefer premium but would consider a pro.
Added 13 months ago:Only a Premium
Quoted from Deadpool66:Open to trades?
Only on a TWD Prem….what are you looking for?
Quoted from RustyLizard:My Walking Dead pro is 6K. In a brewery in Stevens Point if you want to check it out.
Thanks Russ, glad I could finally see the District 1 Brewery. Nice place!
Quoted from JonCBrand:I should have my NIB Pro in May, I would consider a short term trade knowing how you rotate games quickly.
Sorry, I only bolt Yeah that could be cool. I'll keep in in mind for sure.

Quoted from Chumples:WildRover
Thank you, the pleasure is mine.
Favorite intro ever:
Ep 28.
*Queue Pinball Party Podcast Intro Music*
"Buckle up dickbags"
I laughed so hard that morning on the car ride to work when I heard you say that. You caught me off guard with that one . Keep bringing those laughs. I hope you know you bring tons of smiles and entertainment to so many people. I am very thankful for you, your music and your podcast. Much love.
You are too kind, glad you like the show!
If anyone is looking for a basically new FF Premium here you go!:
Its going to be a Mazda CX-30 turbs. I can still fit a pin sideways in the CX-5 and honestly they go in better sideways then "normal" ways. The CX-30 turby is fun as all f*ck to drive!
Quoted from Lawnboy:I might be going on Wednesday and could help you out.
Oh man thank you for the offer...but I made a yolo decision and went there and back again yesterday
Droppin a bit

Quoted from bulletbait:Starcade just opened up at their new spot in St Paul and it sounds like a much better Pinball place. Their Livestream said they've got 25 pins and they're now outside the arcade section, so you can pay to play those without the cover fee.
NICE - Do they have a game list somewhere just for their pins?
Quoted from Waxx:Is this for Foo?
No, an Insider Connected kit
Yes because Star Wars Pro 'Comic Art' doesn't show up on Pinside unless you Google it oddly. I put it in both spots so people can find it easier.

I've played it and it was very...pretty. I would double down on the advice of "try before you buy" on GTF if you can.
Quoted from Savageroots:Jason is that your quickest flip. Not even opened?
Hey man! Surprisingly not Its close though.

Would love your opinion fellow chaps. What's safer to own for a couple weeks currently? As in not lose more than average on moving it on:
-Godzilla Prem
-Stranger Things Prem
Lets get more granular lets say I do find one that is basically new...what would you be wiling to pay for a GZ Prem or STh prem used (if anyone is looking)?
Quoted from precisionk:I've been keeping an eye out on GZ prem prices. I'd like one but I am willing to bide my time. I'll wait for $7k mark.
$7k?! Man, you are a patient one.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:didn't even want to play it once? why even take it out of the box?
Correct. I value not progressing a physical injury over playing a pinball machine.
