Who got a pin for Christmas??
(Topic ID: 258187)
I got a pinball compendium book 82-present and ninja pinballs 3 sets of Back-alley Pinball Sliders 
I was happy !!
Funny I saw this thread. I just bought a Fun Land EM about an hour ago from a friend. I won't take delivery until we can get together, but the deal was done on Christmas!
Not me... but convinced my old college buddy to track down a Star Wars Pro for their family’s first game.
Kudos to the nice Pinsider who drove it down from Virginia and set it up for them at a very fair price... not sure who you are, but you made some kids very happy this year and hopefully created a new monster in this little hobby of ours 
The unwrapping video was an absolute treat to watch!

Thankfully my dad lets me store games in his garage.
I’ll drive back out after the new year and get them in a week or so.
Quoted from Coolpinballdino:Pcked up Terminator 2 last Sunday Christmas gift for myself.[quoted image][quoted image]
Way to go! Totally miss my T2.
Quoted from MurphyPeoples:I gave my daughter Gray her favorite pinball machine for Christmas. She's played it a million times on Pinball Arcade, and didn't see it coming.
Thanks for sharing that is an awesome story and it made my day!
I only wish I could get my daughter into pinball. She helps me open them and only plays them when she has her friends over. Hoping as she grows older she will get bit by the pinball bug?
Quoted from Gunnut40:Well I kinda jumped the gun(3weeks before). It wasn't like my wife was going to buy it for me.[quoted image]
Yeah, I would be shocked beyond all belief if my wife surprised me with a pin. Only gift I would get is one I bought myself. That said, she did completely surprise me with an Apple Watch which was nice
Picking up a TAF tomorrow and I’m counting it as my Christmas pin
Quoted from Gunnut40:Well I kinda jumped the gun.
So Gunnut jumped the gun. How appropriate.

I bet my world Series games on it's outcome.

You pretty much nailed it with saying "hoping as she grows older". My two daughters have had at home access to pins for years. It's only as they've gotten into college that the bug has bitten the oldest. Now she peppers me with "when are we going to go to so and so to play Cyclone, or WOZ, or etc". I'm always like, you drive, I'll pay. And she's ready at the drop of a hat. Of course she loves to drive too, and is always ready for a road trip. lol
Quoted from HB_GAMER:2 pingulps and already put them to good use[quoted image]
Do pingulps fit if you have your pins tight against one another?
Quoted from Freakyguy666:Do pingulps fit if you have your pins tight against one another?
Yes, usually or at least mine have...due to the headboards being larger than the cabinet. 2 Widebodies next to each other may be cutting it close.

I always buy right hand gulps then install them facing forward on the left leg. That way I can still squeeze my fatness between 2 games to work on em. I also think it looks much cleaner!
