I've been to Japan around 6 times and recently saw they had a pinball museum in Tokyo...I think I've found a reason to go back. Also noticed that any Japanese machine brought into the country is always in excellent condition.
Look forward to the X-Files review. I have a huge list of machines I want, the problem is making the money fast enough to buy them all. With AC/DC Pro coming next month and still want a South Park machine, the prospect of buying another machine this year is probably out of my reach...
