Hopefully this is the beginning of an annual event. I'm going to try and be there if I can and happy to spread the word.

 

[Rockin]

I'm hoping to make it. It should be a good time.
Maybe you should post this in the upcoming events section to make it easier to find (and get some page 1 exposure).

Getting closer....

 

[pinballjah]

Will be bringing a bunch of banners, Foo Fighters, Bond, Metallica, Godzilla, etc. If you want anything specific, PM me and I can let you know if I have it. Cheers.

 

[Hammerhead]

Are these official banners?

 

[pinballjah]

Are these official banners?

If there were they be triple the cost. Stern is not doing a Bond banner or selling the FF banner. I have three designs to choose from. Thanks.

 

[roar]

These do look pretty cool, had me fooled!

 

[roar]

Will anyone be bringing used playfields? Always looking for playfields to turn into guitars, would be great to grab some here.

 

[WARLOCK]

All the best everyone for this event.
My busiest time of year for my business.

My sincere apologies I cannot attend.
Have a great event for everyone involved.

 

[Hammerhead]

Will be brining Jack*Bot and Breakshot for free play. Breakshot will be for sale.
