    As you may have seen we do not want to be like everyone else. I searched for different types of trophies for all our contests. What would be cool and different? I didn't want some cheap looking plastic trophy. It had to be unique something you would be proud to win and display in your game room. So awesome that James Calcia AKA shacklersrevenge on pinside will be doing all of our trophies. This is a sample of one he has done in the past.sample tournament trophy.jpgsample tournament trophy.jpg

    For those who haven't seen our "Kids" page, I just wanted to let everyone know that we are going all out to make this a super fun family event. We want you to bring your significant other and especially the kids!

    Last week we hired loads of entertainment for the kids. We'll be having Lee Lee the clown from Just Clowning Around there to put smiles on the faces of all the kids with some tricks and balloon twisting! So, whatever balloon animal the kids would like, Lee Lee will make it for them. Check here out here... http://www.clowningwithleelee.com/

    What kid doesn't like to have their face painted? Well, your kids will be able to have whatever they'd like painted on their faces by a professional face painter also from Just Clowning Around.

    Who doesn't like magic? Well tell your kids to get ready to be wowed by the tricks and illusions by professional magician Andrew Gordon! he'll be doing 2 magic shows each day as well as walking around doing close up magic for all the kids AND the kids at heart. Check Andrew out here... http://www.andrewgordonmagic.com/

    All this entertainment is FREE with your paid admission. That's right, NO extra fees, cost or charges! Like I said, we want to make this super special for the kids. We want them to remember this for the rest of their lives and be looking forward to coming out every year. Honestly, that's how we're going to grow and see our beloved hobby thrive for generations to come.

    So please, tell your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers about Pintastic and all the great kids entertainment we're having for them. It's a great way to have a good clean summer day of fun for your little ones for a little price.

    We're also working on trying to get a bouncy house and ice cream for the kids as well. So keep checking back for updates. Thanks everyone for all your support. We can't do it without you, so please keep spreading the good word.

    Not only is it stadium seating but also a nice table in front of you to put your stuff. Seats are comfortable as well.

    Agreed. It's nice to be able to sit normally at a table and take notes or video or pics.

    Pintastic is at Modern Pinball in NYC!

    modern4.jpgmodern4.jpg modern3.jpgmodern3.jpg modern2.jpgmodern2.jpg
    #357 9 years ago

    This is awesome and really nice of Steve and the great guys at Modern Pinball to help promote the show. Thank you for the support Steve!

    We know that many of you have been spreading the word too and we sincerely thank all of you. We have only gotten positive responses from all the businesses and people we have talked to, so we're really hoping for a turn out that will blow away all our sponsors and vendors at the show!So thank you again everyone for all you're doing to help out Pintastic and spread the good word.

    As a special Thank You, every person who has helped out by getting posters hung up in businesses and handing out our postcards, will be getting our exclusive 2015 Pintastic New England pin. This is not for sale and will only be given out to those who've helped out with the show or those who are VIP's. Yes, VIP's.

    Leon from Free Play Florida gave us the idea to do this. He said it's always a big hit at his show and he recommended we do it as well. So, we've created a new Pintastic General store page that includes an exclusive VIP ticket package. That ticket package will also include 1 hour early entrance into the show. So the VIP's will be able to get in and check out the best stuff first.

    The page will be up and running soon, so check it out.

    Thanks again everyone!

    *Just a reminder for anyone in the area who may be interested, today is the Entertainment Auction Company of New England's (EAC) Arcade, Pinball and Game auction in North Haven CT. Auctions are always fun to check out, especially on a freezing cold day when there's nothing else to do.

    *I'll be down there for a little bit to hang up some Pintastic posters and put out some info postcards for those that would like some.

    *Here's a link to the EAC Auction site... http://www.eacbids.com/

    Hello Everyone! I have some very exciting event news that I'd like to share with all of you. = )

    It gives me great pleasure to let you all know that Polar Beverages wants to have a big part in supporting us and making Pintastic New England an awesome community & family event! So we'd like to formally announce to everyone that Polar Beverages is now the "official" water & soft drink sponsor of Pintastic New England!

    Polar Beverages is the largest independently owned soft drink company in the USA! They've been making bubbles since 1882 and they can't wait to see everyone at the event! They'll be giving out free samples of some of their new soda flavors as well as some old favorites for everyone to try! Please be sure to stop by their booth and try some of their delicious & exciting sodas. YUM!!!

    We at Pintastic would like to personally express our sincerest thanks to the great folks and family at Polar Beverages for all their help, support and excitement! We're proud to have you take part of and share in Pintastic New England with us and we look forward to seeing you at the show!

    If Polar will be there, I'll have an Orange Dry on ice.

    #363 9 years ago
    Quoted from mulder2010:

    Yeah they have some awesome flavors. You have to check out all the varieties of drinks they have. From A&W Root Beer (My personal Fav) to Nantucket Nectars and even Snapple! They make tons of different drinks.

    Check them out and read their history page. Pretty impressive for a family owned and operated business. We are beyond proud to have them take part in making Pintastic a reality for New England.

    Edit: I thought I'd link in the Polar Beverage history for you all to click and check out. Cool read and AMAZING family and company.

    #364 9 years ago

    Well, I just wanted to let everyone know that the first game to ever be registered in the history of Pintastic New England is...a 1976 Ship Ahoy! That's the Spirit!

    #365 9 years ago

    So have you confirmed what tables are going to be in the Silver Ball Rumble? I'm considering entering.

    #366 9 years ago
    Quoted from Kineticross:

    So have you confirmed what tables are going to be in the Silver Ball Rumble? I'm considering entering.

    Details about the Pintastic Silver Ball Rumble will be announced some time next week! The list of game is still being figured out. A good portion of the games for the tournament will be supplied buy the Sanctum. We will be putting a few of our personal games in the tournament also.

    New games will be supplied by both Trent and automated. Jack will also be putting in a few games. Were hoping for a WOZ and Hobbit in the tournament. Time will tell.

    #367 9 years ago

    Good to see they offer a few selections with real cane sugar and not all with that cheap GMO High Fructose garbage. It's creeping into everything these days. No wonder diabetes is reaching epidemic /out of control status these days.

    Real Cane Sugar offerings by Polar here (Hope they bring some of these):

    Hey Dr. D! Yes it's true, all this corn syrup crap, chemicals and artificial stuff is really a killer. Every time I see "Made with REAL Cane Sugar" in the ingredients list, I buy it. Has such a great taste too.

    Thanks for that link brothah.

    #369 9 years ago

    It gives me great pleasure to announce another dual threat company supporting your show New England! Dual threat meaning that they are a sponsor AND vendor at Pintastic.

    Diamond Wireless is a licensed Verizon reseller. They were so excited about this opportunity and they are behind us 100%! We're proud to have them on board with us and we know you will be too.

    Everyone knows Verizon. They're a global brand who does a lot for charity and community. They want to be a part of making this a successful community event and great pinball show for New England and beyond!

    Additionally, they're going to be coming up with some exclusive Pintastic specials that can only be had at the event. So if your remotely thinking about getting a cell phone or changing companies or just need some phone gear, Pintastic is the place to do it and Diamond Wireless has you covered!

    Our sincerest thanks goes out to all the great folks at Diamond Wireless and Verizon for helping support the show and make it a reality.

    To all those who'll be at Pintastic, please be sure to show your thanks by saying hi to them in their booth and remember to support those who are supporting you.

    Quoted from Jared:

    Looking good.

    Thanks bro. A lot of work but it's going great!

    #372 9 years ago

    I'm going to Pintastic.

    They want me to do a seminar or something. And I'll be around the JJP Hobbit/WOZ and PPS/CGC MMR's.

    This is going to be a great show and I don't want to miss it.

    I will have LTG : ) Mugs. Sorry no cheese pump. On a recent trip to TPF, coming back I discovered I shouldn't have brought that set of steel leg protectors with. While I partied with the TSA guys, I did ask about getting through with a cheese pump and cheese. Those guys have no sense of humor and suggested it was better if I didn't do it or they ever see me again.

    I am really looking forward to this show. Especially to meet all the nice people there. This is going to be great !

    LTG : )™
    Disclaimer - not an April Fool's joke. I will be there.

    #373 9 years ago

    This is AWESOME news! We're so happy you can make it and proud to have you being a major contributor to the show Lloyd.

    Everyone knows and respects you my friend. You've helped a lot of people out in New England with your great pinball tips and repair advice. Everyone will really be looking forward to getting to meet you face to face, shake your hand and say thank you to you in person. Count me FIRST in that group.

    See you July!

    #374 9 years ago

    Yeah buddy!

    Can't wait to see my man LTG

    #375 9 years ago

    Wow after 12 years of helpful advice from LTG, I FINALLY get to meet THE MAN!

    Such awesome news!

    #376 9 years ago

    Yeah, they don't come any better than Lloyd. He's done more to help people in this hobby than anyone could ever hope to know. He's a class act and one of pinball's greatest asset's. Can't wait!

    #377 9 years ago

    Count me in for PINTASTIC! I will be there, all the way from Dallas Texas. Big things planned!!!!!!

    #378 9 years ago

    Great news indeed my friend. Thanks so much for helping out. We appreciate you brothah and can't wait to meet up in July!

    #379 9 years ago

    No cheese pump, no Beelzeboob.

    #380 9 years ago

    I can't wait for this Pintastic. Thanks for all your hard work!Send me a few of you flyers i will post them around my area of Connecticut.

    #381 9 years ago

    Very exciting times for New England. Things are starting to fall into place. All our hard work over the last 6 months will all be worth it!

    #382 9 years ago

    So any news about the Silver Ball Rumble or Pingolf tables? I may be participating in the latter, may not be there Friday

    #383 9 years ago
    Quoted from Kineticross:

    So any news about the Silver Ball Rumble or Pingolf tables? I may be participating in the latter, may not be there Friday

    We are still over 3 months out. There will be a bunch of games that the sanctum guys will be bringing. Also newer titles supplied by me....Derek.....automated....Trent....jjp. It will be awesome. .

    #384 9 years ago

    Ive never been to New England. Please tell me there is somewhere to get Lobster or clam chowder or whatever it is that I am supposed to eat up there, lol...

    #385 9 years ago

    One of the best clam chowders can be found at Legal Seafoods. There's even one at the airport if you're flying in.

    #386 9 years ago
    Quoted from Daniml:

    The PINTASTIC GENERAL STORE is live! Get your VIP package and SILVER BALL RUMBLE" TOURNAMENT SUPER PASS"
    www.pintasticnewengland.com/general-store-2.html

    #388 9 years ago

    I'm going, along with some guys from my area. I mentioned it also to the CPR guys, but they rarely go to shows. At TPF I briefly got a word in with Jack, while drinking a lot of a bottle of port given to him. That was a rare early night for me! Since then I have mentioned to Jack, that I would have my Hobbit pin for free play in my space if it's ready to go. It should be there for free play! Don't know if there is any interest in me giving a seminar on playfield & back glass production.

    greatpinball.com

    Just got off the phone with Gabe, didn't realise he was one of Jack's porter drinkers that I gave a stiff refill to. Nice!

    #389 9 years ago

    Hey guys, yes, you can order your Tournament Super Pass Tickets and VIP ticket packages in the General Store. You'll also see our T-shirts that are still a work in progress, but looking pretty damn sweet if I do say so myself. Thanks to James Donessoni from JDS Graphics (http://www.jsdgraphics.com/) for all his hard work!

    #390 9 years ago

    Will Gabe and Lloyd be running a kissing booth? And will that cost extra?

    #391 9 years ago
    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Will Gabe and Lloyd be running a kissing booth? And will that cost extra?

    No but were thinking of having a dunk tank set up in the out door flee market for charity.

    You will be the first one up!

    #392 9 years ago
    Quoted from dannunz:

    You will be the first one up!

    Dude...do you have any idea how much money you'd make off of that? You'd make more for a "Punch Beelzeboob" booth, though.

    #393 9 years ago

    When we set up the Pintastic new England business, we needed to find a bank. After much research, we decide on going with a credit union.

    Credit unions are awesome because of the lower loan rates and the people who are members get to vote on how the credit union is run as opposed to a bank with some big-wig and a board looking out for "their" best interests.

    Well, after much research, we chose Webster First Federal Credit Union. For us, they were by far and away the BEST choice we could've made. They have multiple branches, everyone is super friendly and they know most of their customers by name!

    We went in to ask them if they would be interested in sponsoring our great community and New England event. A meeting was set up and I went in and told them all about the show and how great and excited all of you are about coming.

    Well, they jumped right in and want to be the official sponsor of the Restoration Throwdown Contest! They're going to also promote the show to the surrounding towns and schools and help to ramp up the excitement!

    So it truly gives me great pleasure to announce that Webster First Federal Credit Union is an official Pintastic Partner! And if anyone in the MA. area is fed up with your current bank or credit union, please check them out. You'll see the difference right off the bat with the workers and the happy customers.

    They will also be vending at the show, so please be sure to go up to them in their booth and thank them for coming out, supporting the show and being part of Pintastic New England. We couldn't do this with out the great help of our sponsors. So please remember to support those who are supporting you.

    #394 9 years ago

    We were asked a question regarding the T-shirts in the General Store. Yes, 3X sized shirts and up are available, Gabe just needs to find out if there is an upcharge for the larger sizes. I HATE when companies do that, but it's standard procedure now-a-days. I have paying it on my 2X shirts in stores, so we just have to check and make sure. We'll update the website ASAP. Thanks guys!

    #395 9 years ago

    Its not a great show till you have some kick ass tournaments and contests! We are privileged enough to have the great guys at the Sanctum www.tothesanctum.com/ running our tournaments at PINTASTIC! All the tournament info is now live on the web site with over $7,000 in cash, prizes, and custom trophies up for grabs!

    www.pintasticnewengland.com/tournements.html

    #396 9 years ago

    I've decided that I'm not coming unless I can get Gabe, Lloyd, AND Derek to do a kissing booth. I like Derek. He has a sexy accent.

    EDIT: OR...if I can play with Lloyd's cheese pump. Which sounds really wrong.

    #397 9 years ago

    Beelze likes the way I say...Pahk Thah Cah in Hahvahd Yahd. LOL

    Gabe has to wear lipstick in his kissing booth.

    #398 9 years ago
    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    Ain't wrong. If you still respect me in the morning.

    #399 9 years ago

    This is how I read this at first.

    Quoted from beelzeboob:

    I've decided that I'm not coming unless I can get Gabe, Lloyd, AND Derek to do a kissing booth. I like Derek. He has a sexy scent.

    Calling the optometrist next.

    #400 9 years ago

    Due to a scheduling conflict I will not be able to attend the show (crap). Are the hotel rooms all booked up? I do have a two-night reservation (king bed) that I will be releasing; if someone would like to see if we can get the hotel to transfer that reservation please PM me.
