    Pinballinvasion.com is now live!

    Nice stuff. Nice site. Any chance you could offer the t-shirts in some other material, other than cotton? poly-pro? I dislike the fact that most pinball shows only offer t-shirts in cotton. I never wear cotton anymore as it just doesn’t wick away moisture. I love many of the designs but I just...

    I hate UPS

    I hate having to ship with UPS. Every year I end up ordering (Black Friday Sales) from the US and inevitably there is always a vendor that only deals with UPS for international shipping. Avoid them at all costs. I order an item as below: Item cost: US$49.30 Shipping Cost: US$17.47 Total...

    SOLD SOLD - UPDATE: X-Men Pro with Newton Ball mod, LEDs … minor fix required $6500

    I agree. Xmen is a great pin. I miss mine. Due to Sterns absolute miss on early code it got a bad wrap from pinheads. Greta code now IMO. But it is a very fun game with a lot of replay-ability in a home environment. Best bang for your buck on a relatively modern Stern.

    What happened?

    Yes, it is fair to say that the bubble is deflating. Hasnt quite popped or anything but I think sales growth for expensive toys is going to be flat for a while. i Think this is a combination of things; Covid caused people to entertain themselves more at home so more pins sold which drove up...

    What happened?

    It will be interesting to see what happens to the hobby. When I started 16 years ago I was perfectly happy with buying,playing and selling pins and going in the hole $1.5k per year given that pins were between $1200 to 3000 for the most part (MM and MB the exception). And new pins weren’t really...

    What happened?

    With respect to the older games - if you look at the games that are for sale they are almost all newer, expensive models. The older Bally/Williams seem to be few and far between - perhaps collectors are holding on to them and that limits supply which may keep prices higher on those. TZ does seem...

    What happened?

    Wow, I take some unexpected time off from pinball over the summer and the market has just crashed. There are over 40 pins for sale with an asking value of over $500k listed on this site alone. In over 16 years in the hobby I have never seen this before? Is a correction here at last? What do you...

    SOLD The Walking Dead Pro

    GLWTS. TWD is a great game, one of my faves. Horde is phenomenal. Siege is also fun (I think) but IMO it is the hardest thing in pinball to achieve on default settings. I have only achieved it 3 times on 5 years.

    Is venom next ?

    I think Venom is a great theme for pinball. With ZY art and some great humorous quotes it could be a lot of fun. It isn’t my favourite theme perhaps but I am looking forward to the potential.
