    Quoted from REMAXRick:

    We've gone to the Ann Arbor Michigan Pinball Show (aka VFW) for the last few years. While I can't imagine a better place to play a variety of well working machines in good condition, we are looking to expand our experiences.
    ...
    Thoughts/comparisons on Texas Pinball Festival, Pinfest (Allentown), Ohio Pinball Show and Arcade Expo (Banning, CA) or others you know about would be greatly appreciated.

    I went to VFW and Banning in 2017, to GSPF in 2018, and always attend NWPAS. I also look for playing first, and in that regard, nothing beats Banning overall, plus it has an impressive video game area for a diversion as well.

    But I thought both VFW and Banning were lacking as far as recent releases. If you want to get hands-on time on newer pins, nothing beats NWPAS. There were nine Iron Maidens alone last year, and never had to wait more than a couple minutes to play one. Did any other show come close to that?

    Quoted from Borygard:

    By at least three times, yes. MGC had (if my memory is correct, someone I'm sure will correct me or come in with exact numbers) 30 Iron Maidens, and a total of more than 50 new Stern games. It was incredibly impressive.

    Wow, does Stern attend that one, or who's bringing those all? Is that the usual every year?

    I haven't heard much about that show, just looked it up. It sounds a lot like PRGE only bigger and I really like PRGE, so I may have to check MGC out.
