[Caveoftreasures]

Most of us would probably like a volume 3. When will volume 3 be back in stock ? Anyone asked Michael ?

[Creech]

Hey Tony, why not try to get Michael to become an AP member? Then he can advertise his wares directly. It would be great to have such a knowledgeable pinball person here.

Fortunately there is just not too much rubbish going on here!

Occasionally someone might cross a line in stirring another member but usually they have gotten over it.

I've got all 4 books from Michael himself & can't wait for number 5.

...and if you ever want a game, whatever the era if anybody can get it - it's Michael

I will second that, a casual chat with Michael about one day wanting to get the skydiving themed and within 6 months I have them (Sky Jump, Free Fall, Sky Divers & Sky Kings)   

His books are fantastic, I have all 4 signed by him - well worth the money.

Cheers

The books do look good - had a quick squiz at the Expo and they looked well put together. I was tempted but I was on a meagre budget that weekend.

I'm looking forward to collecting all Micheal's books - I keep "saying" that, but I never get around to it !

Hey Tony,

He is a member Check under user name Shalhoub

Mike just doesn't want the politics, ego (lots of that in the hobby) and all the BS that goes with it.....

The guy might cop some sh*t from people from time to time but that is only because of the 'tall poppy syndrome' here in Australia

Anybody that knows him will tell you there is not another guy in the hobby here in Australia with the amount of years and passion that he has.

Have know him for over 25 years and not once in that time has he done the wrong thing by me....and if you ever want a game, whatever the era if anybody can get it - it's Michael

So why did he bother to join if he doesn't want to contribute here? 

I guess from your comments you are saying that he thinks this forum is full of politics and BS?

Tony - I have personally invited Micheal here on a number of occasions 

He is VERY supportive of AP and if you check the threads on the Pinball Expo - you can see he went out of his way to hand out AP flyers. He just does not post on forums, including RGP

[Retropin]

Tony,

There is a political statement at the end of every post you make. it is directed at someone is it not?

Ive spoken to Michael about being a member here and he has very valid reasons to not contribute to any forum

[Creech]

Retropin, which Tony are you responding to?

If it's me then I say this to you...He is already a member here. Why bother joining if he has no intention of contributing. Makes no sense to me at all.
