Set as a "sticky" thread ^^^

We need to organize some of the qld guys for this acdc comp
We need
Daz.cow corner
Beaky. Andy
V8racefan.leon
Rottyguy
Rob.replay
Ant.tony
Retro pin.gav
Mickthepin
Wino.greg
Martin.pinball
And anyone else I have forgotten who I know from the Aussie pinball local Queensland list.
I will do up a invite/remainder for this event cause it would be excellent to get all the qld guys together and use this event as a mini meet and one of us might end up winning the acdc comp if we get lucky.
I will do a email to any and everyone from the qld guys in the hope we can get something going. Will do something on tues when I get back to the goldcoast. ^^^
Otherwise add a post qld guys and say you can come, big effort required pls. Also, we can meet at my house and carpool or I can give u the details for the $10 only parking which is only a few hundred meters from time zone at surfers !
-
Good luck with the meet guys! Trying to plan a family holiday next year Brett to the Gold Coast hopefully can catch up if your around when I'm up your way.

I will note, that AC/DC music does feature frequently during all of the Avengers, IronMan and X Men movies ! &&
-
I dont have an ounce of enthusiasm for this comp ... machine just does not inspire me enough to make any effort.
Good luck to those attending

Not frequently bib is used once in ironman, shoot to kill and highway to hell are both used once in the ironman 2 and stk is used once in the avengers.
Don't rememeber them at all in the x-men films.
These in the soundtrack let the films down a touch unfortunatley, the theatrical scores are far superior..

Stink !@) got 4th played like a man with one arm in the second round. Congrats to the winners.
-
Well done to all that played 4th is good and who won? Replay Rob?
Peter
-
Well done Rob. The trophy will make a nice topper ! If my job wasn't handing over today i would've come down to watch the event.
-
Great win Rob. 73Mil 2nd ball in the third round assured you of the win. If the Timezone dude hadn't of been so snap happy and in your face with the camera during your third ball, I reckon your would have gone a whole lot better. But, after all, you can't get better than 1st..!
Nice effort, great event, great turnout.

I attended the AC/DC Pinball Championship held at Timezone in Surfers yesterday.
Big congrats to Replay Rob on wining the state finals, good luck for next weekend.
Have to say this event was very well organised, 25 odd pins on free play, very professional event. Timezone Surfers, AMD and Sony records done a awesome job running this, good overall turnout, all players got a prize and lots of media coverage, which is a good thing for the hobby going forward $#$.
Highlights of the event for me included playing #75 AC/DC LTBR, TAF - Gold edition and a CV.
I managed to have a chat with Norbert from AMD, what a top bloke. All up it was a great way to spend a saturday arvo. ()
I will upload some pics from the QLD finals.
-
Some more pics...

Some more pics...
I played X-Men pro as well. Cool game ^^^
Norbert had set up a device that recognised your hand movement over the pf glass, so you could play without using the flipper buttons, very different and interactive, see the photo I took besides x -men.

some more pics

Congrats to Rob on winning the qld finals of the accadacca specctacculaa.

Thanks guys, it was a great day, very tiring but great at the same time.
The event was very well set up and very well organised and a great location
with plenty of room to move. Some operators and private collectors donated
there machines on the day, nice work.
The other 5 finalists were a great bunch of guys, as are most pinheads. i think
we were all as nervous as each other. No warm up time, just get up there and play.
Wasnt much in the scores till I had a great ball on game 3 (73m) and got ahead.
End of the 4th round all the scores were acumulated and I had the highest, nerve racking stuff.
Nice trophy, ACDC pack, and goodie bag with vouchers and stuff. All competitors got a shirt and cap too.
A great day, credit to the organisers of the comp and TimeZone for hosting it. Cheers!

How did the locals go? Heard about to late on Coast ABC to attend, but bought a premium anyway.
I'm on the Gold Coast as well, so have to catch up with others that may be nearby. How do you obtain the local list?

Here is the link.

There are at least 5 members on the Gold Coast, and the list doesnt show alot of the people from the Logan area either.
But you have regulars like Ant, Beaky, Caveoftreasures, V8racefan,, Replay, Rottyguy, just to name a few, but there are many many more within 1 to 50 kilometres of Gold Coast/Logan Area. Then u have dozens n dozens of people from Brisbane etc.
This is another useful link showing what machines people have etc, but not all members keep it up to date and most members have more machines than are listed on that list, or they havent added their name to the list at all.
