Heads up that we will be closing down the payment part of our site for YEGPIN on April 30, 2018. This will be the last chance to get your pre-purchase discounts on posters and shirts. Will also be the last opportunity to pre-order you weekend pass and pickup through our VIP line.

Pre-Buy discounts end on the 30th, show prices are as follows:
Brian Holderman designed locally screened YEGPIN Show Shirts - $40
Brian Holderman designed locally screened YEGPIN Zip Up Show Hoodies - $75 (no pre-sale, VERY limited quantities and sizes)
Brian Holderman designed and hand screened YEGPIN Show Posters - $40
Weekend Passes (sold Friday only) - $60

Also, we will have many more silent auction items available for sale (including, back by popular demand, some limited edition Brian Holderman prints) you will just have to show up to find out what items there are for each day of the event. I have to say this years clothing quality and designs are off the chart we really appreciate all of the support from our supplier Print and Platen, they did a bang up job and really 1up'ed the quality on us. Posters are all tubed this year so they will not get damaged in shipping or in person.

Each purchase of this merch goes a LONG way and supports this not-for-profit event. We really appreciate all of the pre-orders to date and those who plan to support at the event.

Here is a sneak peak of one of our pinball league models with the hoodie. Looks sharp eh!

7 days to go!!!

7 days too long. I’m calling in sick next week.

We are all working hard to put on a world class event for everyone. Seriously, some of us have new grey hairs!
But all the work is worth it and we can't wait to see you all there. It's going to an amazing way to kick off the summer.

We kick things off with two new tournaments this year. The Retroactive Arcade : Knockout Cancer Pinball Tournament and Pinforge.com Ms PacMan tournaments. Followed by the legendary Nitro Pinball : Western Canadian Pinball Championship and Print and Platen Classics Pinball Tournament. We also run a non-IFPA tournament just for the kids. Wizards comics and collectables will be hosting the The Little Flippin Pinball Tournament all weekend.

Some quick updates. Alberta Cancer Foundation will be the beneficiary of all funds from the Retroactive Arcade : Knockout Cancer Pinball Tournament. We hope you all show up to this fun, fast playing 3 strike (2nd,3rd,4th get strikes!) tournament aimed at warming you up for the main tournaments. Focus on fun! 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as well as oldest and youngest players will get a limited edition Brian Holderman poster! All ages are welcome and encouraged to enter!

I ducked in for 45 mins so far. Looking well attended already!!!

Was there Friday night. What a Blast! Looks like a lot of work was done to get this years event running. Congrats to the Organisers and Volunteers.
Well Done!

Didn't even notice the topper at first... this pin is hilarious!! Donald trump callouts and all!

IMG_20180504_2321182.jpg

Played the Hollywood next to it and also never noticed the topper. That was with the house light on. That photo looks like it was taken during the Friday night party. Have to check it out closer on Saturday.

I'm surprised that Retro-Arcade didn't win the nicest machine award for that Punisher themed cabinet. It is a beauty!

IMG_20180504_230138 (resized).jpg

Same here. Didn't even notice the topper until they turned the lights off. Go figure lol

It is an amazing but vendor games were not eligible.

Lol .... loved the pop bumpers... fake news fake fake f f f fake new fake news !!!! Ohhh man that game had me laughing out loud!

Why so many games turned off? Last night at midnight it was crazy. Was hoping to play a few games with the wife to convince her to make a purchase and everything was off....

What games won? Best arcade, best pinball, donor winner for qbert and joker poker?

Too bad, would of had my vote for sure. That machine had every bell, whistle and light going for it. I love retroactive arcades, I keep leaving having spent way more than I wanted to

Didn't even notice Obama lurking in the background until tonight. Lol

This pin is so well done. Hats off to the creator!

And a big thank you to all those who organized YEGPIN, all the volunteers, techs and donors! I'm having such a blast this week end, thank you so much!!
