    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Missed you, BM! Wondered where you got to. Leave it to some good ol' fashioned pinball playin' to bring you back!

    Would less expensive titles sell for 8k NIB?

    Everything Raul Julia is pretty much off limits. With so many TAFs out there I'm not sure it would be viable to make it anyhow. Playfields, absolutely. Entire machines, not so much. Safecracker? Any interest in that? To re-do CC, you'd definitely have to have CCC ruleset aboard to make it...

    Oh, the horror! A slouchy hat and a neckerchief! The most frightening of the bunch!

    WMS Gaming - News Release

    Stiffler is right on...that genie slot machine topper is a straight repurposing (re: copy) of the TOTAN genie. Saw it in Vegas when I was down there a few months back. The whole slot is done in the TOTAN style art. I'm not familiar with the machine, so I couldn't tell you if anything else was...

    Experience with ordering from Pinbits?

    I seem to remember not getting a confirmation for one of my orders. By the time I had a chance to email it made it to me. Good people, know which side their bread is buttered.

    The US/Canadian Border Experience

    WRT the US seller bringing the item over...5% may be charged every once in a while but expect to pay a full 13% (as that is what should be charged).

    Demolition Time by Cardona

    Nice to see that there are still some new ideas being brought forth in this hobby. Even nicer to see that it's from someone who seems to have a passion and a keen eye for the hobby. Even though I don't own a Demonan, thanks for all the work you put into this. Keep'em coming. Lots of games...

    Visiting with JPOP

    I as well...just need to find the right folks who had the foresight to get on board early and are generous enough to open their homes! Hopefully they are met with success and future games can have a larger production run.

    Pinball World Prices

    Don't worry, Wayne...there are still a few of us here that like to read your dribble! You are like the Obi-Wan of the Canadian pinball message boards. The pinball hobby often gets likened to the classic car hobby...which may or may not be fair (I consider myself a member of both, owning...

    Re: "Not Mine" Pinball Machines For Sale I'd be consider going in with someone on the deal if they wanted only one of the two...interested in either title...however that price would need to come down quite a bit!

    Name your sleeper pin

    My Sleeper: Rollergames (1990, Williams) I thought this was my sleeper pin because I was one of the ten people that actually watched the show when it was first broadcast. A classic case of theme-blindness. But there has been a recent rash of Ritchie boosters and value seekers here and abroad...

    Pinball World Prices

    Agree 100% with everything you said. Stern MAY increase their quality, but you can be damn sure the cost will be passed on to the buyer. Also expect any further reissued game to jump in price too...demand is there, might as well exploit it from a business perspective. Interested to see how...

    According to this, it looks like I'm shouldering the blame here, fellas. Its all on me! I liked it better when we were blaming Mike/Mark/Jeff Uttley.

    Pinball World Prices

    To be honest, I'm longing for the days when a pinball machine was worth a quarter of a dollar...or fifty cents, depending on the era you grew up. The MMR appears to be a boon for the hobby, but it actually kind of left a lingering bad taste in my mouth...can't explain it... I'm not a Stern guy...

    The Dude is coming

    Love the licence. Love the marketing approach. I, like others, hope it's done right...by a company that has talented people involved or have done their homework. With the current feeding frenzy (aka upswing) in the hobby, a lot of wannabes will be coming forward with grand schemes that may be...
