What's on your pinball radar for 2012?
« on: December 31, 2011, 07:19:51 PM »
I'm almost maxed out for games. Would like to add a White Water and CV at some stage next year.

Will focus on getting a couple of my games restored - Ali and Paragon and plan on enclosing part of the garage and making it into a Diner themed games room with neon, a booth and checkered vinyl floor.

Nothing for me in 2012 unless I come into some coin and then it would be either spiderman or wh20.
I will be a one pin guy from next year onwards I'd say.

I think i must change my mind every few weeks, but definately a AVATAR brand new game first. Twilight Zone next ?.

I had thought of buying a whack of machines, but maybe I might change my mind and put the $$ into something else this year coming.
A Mercedes Benz car might be on the radar instead. Never hurts to aim high, work like a dog, and come out happy in the end. I have wanted to buy a nice Benz for a few years now. I am going to try hard anyway. I'll see how i go.

I will be adding a few rare Bally EMs and at least one SYS 80 that I've been after for a few years. Quite possibly a couple of VERY rare Bally/Midways.

I will definitely be restoring some of my keeprers - Flight 2000, Eight Ball Deluxe, Xenon, Viking and Spirit.

Have space for one more game - only worked it out the other day, did a shuffle and found a gap. So I will fill it in 2012, but haven't quite decided yet. Leaning towards a Jurassic Park I think.

I plan to continue to enjoy my 2011 additions, Williams Flash and Fish Tales, especially with my mates and a few brews.  I would also like to locate a reasonably priced 'project' Flash and try my hand at restoring it.  Best wishes all for the New Year!

I'm a Max and I am Maxed out for games and Minned out for coin  !!!
However, I will finish my TAF Black conversion, then get stuck into the last phase of my pinball kinetic-TAFV.
Planning to airbrush some custom pinball Tee shirts and fiddle about with mods & toppers plus build a pinball robot (top secret) I also intend to drink lots of coffee while dreaming about Monster Bash, Cirqus Voltaire and all the other titles I can't have . . . the mind boggles (see pic)

Got to get myself a CV. There isn't one on location here in Melbourne, so pretty much want to evaluate the gameplay. And if it isn't to my liking, out she goes.

I've never met anyone that has played a CV and not added it to their "wish list".
