This guy is a stern dealer? Well thats what he's told me, but I can honestly say I've never seen this type of advertising from an actual dealer.
Not sure if anyone has dealt with them. I have gone a few times trying to buy parts. They never have anything in store but will get it from one of their "many" warehouses. But then never have it on the day they tell you to go back. LOL These guys are full of shit in my opinion, maybe I'm wrong. But anyone I've met that knows them says the same thing.
To top it off I see an ad tonight for a pinball machine from them, but the picture looked familiar to me from somewhere else. Sure enough, they are taking pictures from other peoples sales and posting as their own??? even the multiple pictures in the ad are different machines?
Is this to just get you in their door? I mean they only charge $35hr to play the machines they do have in the back of the store.

Whats the point of making these ads up if you don't have the pin?

I was thinking of maybe doing that in my basement. 4 or 5 pins. $30 for maybe 4hrs and a group of say 5 or 10. maybe it would pay down some of this hobby. I need to fund a met remastered somehow. Heck I've already dropped my valhalla to $7500. And whirlwind just left to make room as well.

Met Remastered is a must have. I was skeptical (not a music game fan in general), but man oh man is this game ever good! The music is so perfect for playing. The modes are hard to get to. MBs are not hard to start but hard to complete. This game plays just the way I like it. Accessible for non pinheads and challenging for regular players. On a side note my wife did well last night at about 600M. She's getting the hang of this one. I believe it's her favorite pin to play (Labyrinth is her favorite theme). That might change tonight though as Harry Potter arrives this afternoon :D

We are going with a music theme, IM, Rush, Foo and would like to add met. Just need to make some type of deal with Valhalla, it just doesn't fit the theme. I play it a few times a week though. It's my other half that just doesn't like the theme, I do though lol

I've been babysitting a Rush pro for over a month. Just can't get into it. My wife dislikes it as well. The music is great, albeit a bit limited compared to Met. It's the gameplay that feels somewhat bland. That's just us. We also babysat a LZ Prem a few years ago and thoroughly hated that one lol. Once again great music does not translate to a great or fun game. Haven't had a chance to play Foo but it looks fun. Not familiar with Iron Maiden either. Played a few times in tournaments but never really spent time on it. I'm sure it's awesome, being an Elwin game.

Really love IM, rush and foo. lol.
I have the possibility of getting an LZ LE but I've heard the hate for it as well. I just don't have anywhere to play it here to try it.
I think though if I can make a deal with my Valhalla the LZ would fit it. Love the music as well.
Its really a crap shoot when you don't have anywhere to try games first.

Iron Maiden is great, you really appreciate the Elwin layout and the 4 flippers. I love my Metallica Remastered. A downside is I'd say the ramps are pretty useless (but I haven't gotten deep into the rules maybe there is more to them). Whereas in Iron Maiden they are a necessity.

LZ actually has great code - it's fun. I actually miss it a little.

Definitely like it better than Valhalla - I would do that trade

If you’re going for a music theme then AC/DC and Kiss are a must. Great pins!

def not a direct trade. But a great pin guy is on the lookout for a buyer for me. I'm going to take a loss. But he also has a lead on a great LZ for me if I want.
