Great Job guys! Looking forward to seeing this to completion.

I also love the Desperados (Tequila Beer). Nice choice!

Awesome thread guys. You guys have the best Friday nights! At least your wives know you are staying out of trouble - cause you guys look like you could get into trouble!

I really like the "do-it-yourself" look of this project - it is amazing what you guys are doing with stuff you just find lying around. Don't finish this project too quickly because I enjoy reading it on lazy Sunday mornings (ok maybe afternoons).

Cheers.

Damn it, Friday night is just starting over here in North America and you guys are done already. Don't you guys have minions that can keep going? great job guys. Gonna have a beer for you guys - I think Guinness tonight.

Come on guys - it's Friday! Start drinking some Desparados and get welding and tinkering with stuff. But don't get carried away and knock over the laptop this time.

Just remember to take good pics and notes because with all that good scotch I wouldn't want you to put it back together as a "Smurfs" pinball machine by mistake. Cheers Amigos. Looking forward to the new playfield.

OK, no more Scotch, Desperados or no-goggle welding for the next few weeks Amigos. Then again, that is the stuff that got you to this point! Carry on!

This is a great thread not only because of the pin but because of the comradery that you amigos are demonstrating while performing the build. That is the greatest part of the hobby for many of us and most of us only get to experience it so intensely a few times a year (at shows) whereas you guys get together every Friday. That's cool! We envy that and live through you guys. Every Friday I have a beer and toast the Amigos!

Awesome work guys!

Black here as well. Awesome job Amigos!

Interesting, you guys are starting to live like minions. Even your skin tones are taking on a yellowish glow and you are starting to sound funny in your video's. Kind of like how pet owners start to resemble their pets.

Looking forward to the Friday updates.

Awesome - spent all weekend at a hockey tournament so just catching up on this thread now - Sunday. It was a perfect weekend - hockey - minions updates and now superbowl (and beer - did I mention beer).

Really really looking good Amigos!!! So good in fact I am going to go and have a beer to toast your ongoing success (while waiting for my Amigos to come over and watch the big game).

Sitting here enjoying my coffee and the re-build.

Someone needs to update Wikipedia to indicate that Rotterdam is also home of the world famous Minions pinball machine.

Great job Amigos. Really coming together. My 15 year old son is also very impressed as he was a huge Minions fan when he was younger. As you know it is hard to impress a 15 year old so I'd say that is high praise.

See you next week!

Coming together nicely Amigos! Looking forward to a gameplay video once all the tweaking is done. Not to mention playfield close-ups (so we can ensure that there is no insert ghosting - I Kid! I Kid!)

How far along is the software? Are you going to have to spend a lot of time getting it to where you really want it or are you pretty happy with it now? I can't remember but which Amigo is doing the software again?

Yes, the programming is the less sexy part of the build but no less important. A little tougher to make that as exciting as the manufacturing part from an eye witness perspective.

Good luck on finding your jackpot light gremlin.

I Still like that Whiskey Barrel Table you guys made! 3 glasses , 7-up - Looks like JD & 7 tonight?

I love the front door & sound effects.

Awesome job Amigos. Now I am going to go out and have a few beers - so I will catch up on the remaining Minion action tomorrow while I lie around on the couch recovering.

Exellente. J'attends mon machine-a-boule "Minions LE" numero un!

Awesome job Amigos! Just sitting around reading while I am waiting to go to my son's end-of-year hockey party at Tag Zone. (Shoot each other indoors in the dark with hard rubber balls). Coaches against the kids (15 year olds) so I am going to be sore tomorrow. Those little buggers are growing up and now they are fast and strong. Maybe I will pocket a few pinballs - they'll never know what hit-em.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Looking forward to seeing this thing flip with everything in place.

Never say that again! Just doesn't sound right.

Keep up the awesome job Amigos. Having some amigos over tonight to play pinball, drink beer and watch hockey - gonna have a beer for you guys.

Now go weld something!

Yes, we want to see a good ole fashioned 3-player game "smack-down" between the Amigos this coming Friday. Last Minion Standing gets bragging rights! We don't care bout no stinkin rules (we buy Sterns).

Great job Amigos! Very impressive!

Looking forward to the next build.

Jeeze, you guys just posted 4 pictures in a row and not one of them showed any signs of beer, occupational health & safety violations or minions. This thread has jumped the shark. Just kidding guys. Looking forwards to the next build.

Now, what the hell am I going to read about when I lie on the couch with a hang-over.
