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 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...
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.
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...
If anyone wants to move to one of those countries with really low taxes:

you are more than welcome to move there...
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.

This topper sat on top of my Stern pinball machine for many years. It is made of aluminum and looks great when lit up (lighting comes with it)...
I was guessing that Chambahz “bag o dicks” catch phrase was going to happen before post 30 but it was post 36. Damn. Love it. Best phrase in pinball.
GLWTS.
absolutely it does, however, if it is the only metric you use when buying and selling then it makes for quick/easy shopping.
I just traded in my 6 year old Ford with 110k on it. Beautiful vehicle to drive and great features. Why? Well Ford has issues with the Cam Phasers and the motor needed a...
Play count is only one metric to consider. Is 100 plays worse than 50 plays? 929 plays is a low number all things considered. Is there much difference in any HUO game with less than 1000 plays? Now if we are talking 5000 games vs 1000 games then maybe. Stern does have some QC issues but those...
Likewise, I have bought 3 pinsound boards and was never charged GST, duty or brokerage fees. Even the shipping was free every time. I don’t know why - but that was my experience every time. Also there support is very good.
