    Pat Lawlor making a comeback???

    Spoke to John this afternoon. He swears PL is not working with him. His guess is also JJP.

    The Pinball Diaries (what did you do today?)

    Seeing George was cool... but watching Steve Ritchie barrel down the assembly floor and almost knock over Scott (who had his nose buried in his Blackberry) was even better :D Other dignitaries we've come across on the show floor include Dennis Nordman, Brian Eddy and many other members of the...

    X-MEN LE price check

    I have considered parting with my Wolverine over the last few months, but since the last code update I have found it to be an excellent game and a challenging player. The extra toys on the LE certainly add some additional chaos and it is a striking game. I think the days of seeing $5000-$5500...

    Special Force

    I shot that guy a message, just to feel him out, and he will go under $700... but not by much. From what I can see, the game looks to be in nice shape other than the sound problem.

    Name your sleeper pin

    Now that's more like it ;) Thanks guys. I've never considered FT a sleeper, but Wayne is right, it doesn't appear to get a lot of love. I think its great. And Banzai Run is another one I have to agree with. It shares the same simple rule set of a game like HS, but it gets you going with some...

    Name your sleeper pin

    Sorta dissapointed... I thought this thread would bring out some real hidden gems. I guess everyone is out buying a NIB Stern LE or something? :lol: I'll be walking around expo this year for the first time and I'm definitely keeping my eye out for anything I have not tried before... midgets...

    Painting my Centigrade 37 cabinet

    Figured I would circle back and show the rest of the cabinet. I finished up the front stencil and did the backbox too. Here are some pictures showing the original state of both parts and a whole shot of the very faded left side.

    Pat Lawlor making a comeback???

    I'll admit that I sometimes get tired of how Pat repeated his signature design elements... but I'd rather have Lawlor back in pinball in any capacity. One could easily say that we also have seen enough generic fan-based "flow" layouts. And God knows that Steve Ritchie/George Gomez and others...

    Alvin Gottlieb dead at 86

    Well, he had a good run and was a huge part of pinball for many years. His son just released the news a few hours ago. RIP

    Pat Lawlor making a comeback???

    So, the rumour mill has sort of started and I've read in one of JPOP's private blogs that there may be an announcement at EXPO this year regarding Pat Lawlor's return to pinball. No more detail I'm afraid. Any speculations or other inside info? Wonder if he's going to go hook up with a...

    Name your sleeper pin

    Hmmm. Never played a Hot Shots. The layout and art look pretty cool. Ill have to put that on my list of games to play. Another carnival themed pin I've never tried is Williams Hurricane... although I hear its not great. A couple of other Gottliebs I've never been able to try are Gold Wings and...

    Name your sleeper pin

    Okay, so whether you've been collecting for years or just started, most guys know that most A/B list games have a lot to offer. With enough of these under my belt, I've spent a lot of the last year exploring other eras and types of pins to see what else was out there for me. One recent purchase...

    Good Carnauba Wax?

    I think all waxes are excellent... on day one. The true test of a good wax is how long it holds up, so I prefer the heavy duty types mentioned above because they offer true long-lasting protection, not just a shiny surface. eshine is also where I ordered my XXX. They also make a sealer that...

    Good Carnauba Wax?

    I like Chemical Guys XXX Hard Core paste wax. You can get it online (Canadian source I think). Its long lasting and better than most stuff you can get at CT. For my EMs though, lately ive been using a couple of layers of XXX and then finishing with a softer "show wax" like mother's carnauba...

    Tron Transparent Disc Rubber Set

    Rinsler doesn't have a white disc. This would just be, hmmmm.... incorrect :D

    What are you excited to see at Expo?

    Damn those non-refundable hotel rooms :FP: Oh well, at least I can play more pinball Brock. Thanks!
