Pins I saw today

It is remarkable what is coming in to the country these days:-

Black Hole
Blackwater 100
Medusa
Devil's Dare x 2

and EBD with best-looking original playfield I have seen.

I'm with you there Andrew.  I've never seen these pins in the flesh before (only on the web).  Blackwater 100 is such an interesting pin, Medusa is by far the most intense artwork I've seen and Vector...Never even knew about this pin.  The backglass was amazing.
The EBD was very very nice too...

I missed the Vector! I was trying to take it all in, but still missed some.

Also saw some plastics for a Motordome - never even heard of that one before.

Looking forward to MarkC's container arrival: I am hoping to help with the unload on that one so I get to see the pins in the flesh, too.

I suspect Mark will have some great machines in this lot too...

Yeah, it's a bit like going to the lolly shop when you were a kid and there were new lollies to look at. Except in reverse. There is an excitement about seeing those older machines, especially when you know there may be only one or two others in the country.

How true !

It is a great experience and kudos to the guys importing these machines. If they were not taking the risks, we would never have the opportunity of owning them.

Now all we need is MORE EMs !
