from a dealers  view ( mine)

last year i think we brought in over 10 containers and few of those 40 footers  and had lots of coffees ....
this year i have been offered more pins than the same time as last year
and i still have never brought a container of pins from USA ... YET   and no comment NINO .....
there to me seems to be way more pins around this year than last

will it last , well if the offers I keep getting yes , just last week I could have brought over 150 pins but sadly i missed the 94 lot and put a few others on hold ...
still have others to look at. and its not just 90 s pins either
with all the spare parts coming in how will this effect sales , well will be doing more pins faster and as more come in its great for sales of parts. all these as is pins need parts
as people want their pins looking better and showing them off in a games room , they want new ramps  new parts  so to me its all good and all part of supply and demand.
gone are the days of the quick nifti and rag wipe over of a pin . the mum and dads want them done up , sure for AP members as is are great as most here can do some work on them , but the average mum and dad dont want container pins as is stuff , they want them looking good and fully working in their new games rooms , well this is what I am finding.

to me the pinball industry for some is looking good and time is to enjoy our games ,  have fun  pinball is meant to be FUN.
