Thanks a lot Rob. Much appreciated.

Thanks a lot Rob. Much appreciated.

If all goes well this year, the plan is to develop a proper website for the Fest...I realize that FB isn't the best way to get the word out

 

[ManaLounge]

Hey all!

Jeff from the Mana Lounge here. (Just saw this thread and posted in General before hand, woops!) but we'll be at the event this year (Thanks so much to Rob for the invite!!)

So if you want anything delivered for free, just hit me up and I'll bring it up for ya! Of particular interest might be the HD Glass, as they're a pain and pricey to ship.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Cheers
Jeff

Anyone that hasn't dealt with Jeff from Mana Lounge before I'll tell you he's straight up awesome to deal with. I have to say Players One can't touch him price and service wise. I highly recommend him!

I somehow got a Safecracker token and got my initials up after assault on the vault
Name up on godfather.
My wife got her name up on the new GnR and said I could trade Heavy Metal for one (not gonna happen).
Heavy Metal got a fair bit of play. I showed up a early and made sure t9 level it up well.
Lots of great games.
Have not played paperboy in forever...

 

[Fleetwood mIkea]

Had a great time playing tons of new and older pins and a few arcades. I even put a few games on my old Fish Tales - I recognized it immediately. Was super tempted to take the Space Invaders cocktail home.
Loved Heavy Metal. Thanks for bringing it @BMHouze!

Fantastic job today. Huge step up from 2023, what a great show. All the new Sterns and some very unique pins available to play, thanks to everyone involved. Looked like a very good turn out also!

 

[AlexRogan84]

+1 on great job to the organizers and loaners of games. Fun day for sure and much improved location from the first year. Beauty job!

Had a great time at the show this year! Have to say, if this keeps up, we could have our own Allentown size show in Ontario. Must have been over 100 games there yesterday. Was nice to see Player One, Mana Lounge and the guys from Ottawa (Pinball Medics) bring in a lot of games for the show. Got a chance to play the new John Wick and Jaws as well. Almost all the new games were available to try out. I think we take for granted the amount of work to put this show in place and get the games set up, and removed at the end of the day. Nice to see some games for sale at the show as well.

I think if you could find a way to make the show a little closer to the GTA, you likely get a lot more people showing up. It seemed to be fairly busy yesterday, and to keep the show going, there is a need for a certain number of people to show up, just to break even. So I think a little closer to the 400 might help with attendance. Probably be good to have a separate room for the seminars as well, so it is easier to hear with all the background noise.

Thanks for putting on the show again this year!
