2 Player MB's are pretty rare  *)*. What bothers me the most is that bloody BMX sitting on top ready to fall on the pins.

I wonder if this guy actually sells any machines, his prices are always so expensive and his ads always make these funny claims all the time, like that Gorgar a while back that was listed as "US Import"  *.* I don't think Leisure & Allied or Hankin made any of these in Australia, of course it's a bloody import!!  :lol :lol :lol

He's marketing to the uninformed ultra rich who drop $8,000 on an impulse buy, we're definitely not in his market because we're scavengers looking for that next bargain to sink our teeth into ;)

 :lol

But your comment about the BMX also got me thinking - from the title to the add
"DUE IN COUNTRY IN 4 WEEKS. YOUR CHANCE TO SECURE TODAY."

From the body of the ad -

"* Photos shown are of the actual machine you will be purchasing. "

Call me paranoid, but isn't it an amazing coincidence that these are photos of the actual machine and the place they bought it from happened to also have the odd bike laying around, just like the place that is selling it?

Any MB owners out there tried that "Easter Egg" flipper press thing that they list.
